Common causes for Firebase :firebase: config file error ⚠

[Tekwizer (ArnaV Bhardwaj)]

Hello everybody do I am going to list some common causes for Firebase config file error because I might have seen at least 100 topics regarding this error. So let’s begin -

---

1. The number 1 mistake is regarding the Package name -

   
   

The package name entered in the app and the one in Firebase if they are not the same it will not work…
See this helpful guide -

How to change PACKAGE NAME

Hello everyone! This is my first and easy guide for beginners on coding and Kodular The package name is a unique name to identify a specific app. Generally, the package name of an app is in the format domain. company. application, but it’s completely up to the app’s developer to choose the name. What is the default? ==With the new update Kodular 1.4D.0, each part of the package name is restricted to 10 characters. If you use more, you can omit the error and compile your app too.== …

Did it work ? still not worry not see the second mistake you might have done…

2. This one is much more common
   There are 2 reasons for this make sure your JSON file doesn’t have a number, like google-services(1).json. The last solution will totally work if the previous ones didn’t (fingers crossed ) -
   Right click your JSON file (in file folder) and click open with… notepad
   The error will be in the first 5 lines check if the 3rd line contains your firebase URL if not then add its simple "firebase_url": "https://your-projekt-id.firebaseio.com", make you sure add this after project number and before project id…

The usual format of the first 5 lines -

  "project_info": {
    "project_number": "123456789",
	"firebase_url": "https://your-projekt-id.firebaseio.com",
    "project_id": "your-projekt-id",
    "storage_bucket": "your-projekt-id.appspot.com"

Unable to generate apk because of Firebase, Firebase config file error

To be honest I have no knowledge of Firebase. But by looking at one of the json files that were lying around here on my PC, I saw that one line was missing in both cases "firebase_url": "https://your-projekt-id.firebaseio.com", if it is the right/correct one I have no idea… "project_info": { "project_number": "123456789", "firebase_url": "https://your-projekt-id.firebaseio.com", "project_id": "your-projekt-id", "storage_bucket": "your-projekt-id.appspot.com"
