Documentation contradiction #2295

Description

@stephenhuey

The following page on the Firebase site says "Note: All Flutter-Firebase apps, both iOS and Android versions, require the firebase_core plugin for Flutter."

https://firebase.google.com/docs/flutter/setup

But firebase_core is missing from this page of the Firebase for Flutter codelab:

https://codelabs.developers.google.com/codelabs/flutter-firebase/#3

This is all it mentions adding to your project:

dependencies: flutter: sdk: flutter cloud_firestore: ^0.13.0+1 # new

I just tried creating a new project in Android Studio and was successfully able to read from Cloud Firestore without having firebase_core in there. What's the verdict? Is firebase_core no longer needed by the cloud_firestore plugin? Whose docs should be updated? This page implies cloud_firestore depends on firebase_core:

https://pub.dev/packages?q=dependency%3Afirebase_core
