Firebase two database (iOS, Android)

I am quite new to firebase and using it for our iOS, Android chat app.

enter image description here

Previously, we only have 1 configuration (1 database). Now we need to have UAT and Prod env. As a result, I have created new DB in firebase but I don't know how to change database name in our mobile app.

Where/how can I write "alive-ios-10dfe" database name in our mobile app?

From the Firebase documentation on connecting your app to multiple database instances:

Swift:

// Get the default database instance for an app
var ref: DatabaseReference!

ref = Database.database().reference()


// Get a secondary database instance by URL
var ref: DatabaseReference!

ref = Database.database("https://testapp-1234.firebaseio.com").reference()

Android:

// Get the default database instance for an app
private DatabaseReference mDatabase;
// ...
mDatabase = FirebaseDatabase.getInstance().getReference();

// Get a secondary database instance by URL
private DatabaseReference mDatabase;
// ...
mDatabase = FirebaseDatabase.getInstance("https://testapp-1234.firebaseio.com").getReference();

Note that it is more common to use separate projects for different environments. By having each environment on a separate project, they also get their own set of users, their own access tokens, and are separated in many more ways.
