@robingenz I am trying to fix the path in the README.md file where you give an example how to use capacitor.config.ts:

/// <reference types="@capacitor/firebase-authentication" />

This seems wrong as it should be

/// <reference types="@capacitor-firebase/authentication" />

But fixing this directly in the README.md will revert it back to the wrong one once I called npm verify:web. I have not found where it adds this line, maybe you could fix it?

@trancee This is an open issue which i already reported: ionic-team/capacitor-docgen#40
You can just leave it this way for now. I hope it gets fixed soon.

@robingenz I was wondering, when the updateProfile method successfully updated the profile, there is no authStateChanged event emitted and it is not clear what the current state of the profile is. Do you know if it is meant that way, or do we have to call something like getProfile to receive the latest update of the profile?

You should call getCurrentUser(...) to retrieve the users profile (see Firebase docs).
