How to handle properly firebase auth?

I can not find how should handle the auth part correctly. Basically, my backend returns me a token, and with this token, I call auth().signInWithCustomToken(token). All works fine my users have access to chat and other things. Also, on signout I call auth.signout(). But the problem is if the user does not use the app for some time and when coming to the app with refresh token if it is valid we generate new accessToken. But how to handle firebase part in this flow because user can not access chat, etc because it seems firebase token is not valid anymore. Any idea how to handle refresh token or flow in this case?

Once you've signed out with signout(), refreshing a token won't help at all. The user is fully and completely signed out. If you want to sign back in, you will need another new token to sign in with signInWithCustomToken(). Once the user is signed in, the Firebase SDK will automatically refresh a token to keep that sign-in alive for a long as needed. There is nothing you need to do for that.
