free backend

[carmine_n_]

is there a free backend for user authentication and photo storage that i can use to test my app?

thanks.

In regards to free backend services for authentication and storage, you can use Firebase, Parse, or even Google Cloud platform. You can also find other web services to the previously mentioned here.

Note: All of these web services are free up to a certain usage.

where and how does that get defined?

Are you experiencing this issue on a device or in the emulator? If you are experiencing this on a device, I recommend that you add any domain names that your applications will be communicating with to the whitelist field on the Projects panel > Build Settings > <desired_mobile_platform>. For more information on Intel XDK whitelist, visit https://software.intel.com/en-us/xdk/docs/using-cordova-whitelist-rules-with-intel-xdk.

I also recommend reviewing Firebase Support page.
