I followed this guide for installing Cordova and ReactJS: https://medium.com/@pshubham/using-react-with-cordova-f235de698cc3
This works!
However, when I want to use firebase with Cordova, as explained in this documentation: https://firebase.google.com/docs/auth/web/cordova, I am getting these errors after installing the plugins explained at step 6.
When I run "cordova run android", this is the output I am getting:
Successfully built!
<universal-links> tag is not set in the config.xml. Universal Links plugin is not going
to work.

Before installing the plugins, everything works just fine. what is wrong and how can I fix this?
EDIT: If you have a (better) tutoria on how to get Firebase authentication to work with ReactJS and Cordova, please share.
