ApparenceKit CLI

ApparenceKit has a CLI that can help you setup your project and switch from custom backend api to Firebase or Supabase. It setup Android and iOS project and a lot of other things.
It will also contain many other commands to generate some modules.

Note: Even if you choose Supabase or Rest API we will still use a Firebase project. That's required only for the push notification as it is the only way to send those to Android devices.

Install the CLI remotely

Note: If you have bought the ApparenceKit Starter version you won't be able to install the CLI from the repository. You will get it as a standalone package (provided within the welcome email)
