Flutter › Flutter for Desktop (Windows, macOS, Linux)FlutterFlutter for Desktop (Windows, macOS, Linux)Intermediate
19How do Firestore security rules control which users are allowed to read or write specific pieces of data, and why is relying only on client side validation within the Flutter app itself never sufficient?
