I am not able to use a firebase app on the emulator

I am trying to test my app using aiStarter for windows. My app uses firebase. When my app launches in the emulator it says "Device is too old to use firebase."Can you please tell me how to use firebase on the emulator?

Welcome there,

The aiStarter emulator is about Android 6 I think, and the version does not support Firebase. Try to use AI Companion on an actual phone to test that out. If you do not have one, use a Genymotion emulator instead of the Google Android emulator.

Set up your Genymotion emulator here.

EDIT 2 MONTHS LATER: Actually, it is Android 2.2, which even does not support Firebase.
