We are looking to use Firebase Remote Config for A/B Testing and Gradual feature rollout and we are struggling to setup a proper percentage rollout condition that is also considering users across multiple platforms and devices.

For instance we want to start targeting 10% of our user-base where a user would be identified across all their apps (iOS, Android and Web).

At the moment I am unable to find such option in Firebase Remote Config condition. I believe this is a pretty common usecase for feature rollouts as I don't want same user to have feature enabled on their iOS app but disabled on Web or the other way around. By same user I mean same authenticated user.

Can you advise if such usecase would be possible with Firebase Remote config?

Best,

Joe Spiro

Hello,

You can use User Properties and Audiences as the conditions for admission to an A/B test and this will apply across apps for the user.

Be advised though that you need to plan this carefully as both mechanisms are subject to hard quantity limits: User Properties have a hard limit of 25 (which are non archivable aka any use is permanent) while Audiences have a limit of 100 but are archivable. Also take note that both take different amounts of time to apply before the assignment can be acknowledged by Remote Config conditions.

Regards,

Joe
