Sure, just clone this repo https://github.com/mikehardy/rnfbdemo and run RNVERSION=60 ./make-demo.sh - works

The problem you are having is you didn't use compatible versions https://rnfirebase.io/docs/v5.x.x/getting-started#Supported-versions---React-Native-/-Firebase

v5.4 + AndroidX -> no go (well maybe no go)
v5.4 + new firebase SDK libraries -> definitely no go

this repo is not working for rn 0.60.4 .
the build fails

Which build @creative-git ? I just updated it recently and it was working for me. Maybe open an issue + PR on that repo

[mikehardy]

@creative-git - maybe it was an iOS build you had issues with, I had finished updating rnfbdemo for RN60+Android but wasn't quite done with iOS. It's fully updated / and appears to work for me now? https://github.com/mikehardy/rnfbdemo/blob/master/make-demo.sh

@mikehardy , i tested it on ios. didn't try it on android after that.
with RNFB v6 still in alpha, and RN 0.60 autolinking , lot of developers facing issues integrating RNFB with RN.
It will be great if the documentation of either v5 or v6 has some clear installation steps on RN 0.60

I agree - PRs are welcome, there's an edit button on every documentation page
