Extend "expirationTime" in Firebase Auth "stsTokenManager" in React Native

How to extend the expirationTime in the Firestore response? Here using Firestore JavaScript SDK. And need to access accessToken too in React Native mobile development.

import firebase from 'firebase/app';

firebase.initializeApp(firebaseConfig);
const auth = firebase.auth();



export const login = (email, password) => {
  return async dispatch => {
    try {
      const response = await auth.signInWithEmailAndPassword(email, password);
      //console.log(response);
    
      dispatch(authenticate(response.user.uid, ""));
    
      //console.log(response.user.stsTokenManager.expirationDate, " AAA");
      
      const expirationDate = new Date(
         new Date().getTime() + parseInt(response.user.stsTokenManager.expirationTime) * 1000
       );
      
      saveDataToStorage( response.user.uid, expirationDate);
    } catch (error) {
      throw new Error(error?.message || 'Authenticating user failed');
    }
  };
};

console.log(response) output

Object {
"user": Object {
    "stsTokenManager": Object {
      "accessToken": "",
      "apiKey": "",
      "expirationTime": 1597168005772,
      "refreshToken": "",
    },
    "tenantId": null,
    "uid": "",
  },
}

You can't change the expiration time of the provided token. It will expire 1 hour after the last refresh. Then token will need to be refreshed again, and the new token will last another hour. There is no alternative to this - the refresh is required for security reasons.

The Firebase Auth SDK will automatically refresh the token for signed-in users. There is nothing you have to do to implement this. If you want to know when the token was refreshed, you should use onIdTokenChanged to set up a listener for that.
