I am trying to configure firebase for my react native app. I get the following error:

Attempted import error: '@firebase/app' does not contain a default export (imported as 'firebase').

I am using firebase SDK 8.2.3 and the following code to configure firebase in my app:

import firebase from 'firebase';
import '@firebase/auth';
import '@firebase/firestore';

const firebaseConfig = {
    ...
  };


if (!firebase.apps.length) {
  firebase.initializeApp(firebaseConfig);
}

export { firebase };
