Research direction

Start with packages/app/package.json and check the dependencies.firebase pin, currently 12.19.0. Update the pin to 13.0.0; the bump is done when the dependency reflects that version, with wrapper API work explicitly out of scope.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

Needs Attention type: enhancement

Source: Firebase SDK watcher workflow run

React Native Firebase's pinned Firebase JS SDK is behind the latest release.

Version
Current pin (packages/app/package.json dependencies.firebase) 12.19.0
Latest 13.0.0

Release notes: https://firebase.google.com/support/release-notes/js

This issue tracks the pin only. Wrapper API work from the 13.0.0 notes window is out of scope for the bump PR.
