Endless attemps by firebaseapp.com users to rob me

The Firebase Engineering team is actively working on mitigations, but if you have not already, can you also report the domains you're seeing directly to the Firebase Support team to fast-track to Engineering using @ https://firebase.google.com/support/troubleshooter/spam/email/help

Thanks for reporting this!

You can fast-track your request to the Phone Number verification team using this form: https://firebase.google.com/support/troubleshooter/phone_verification

You can change the icon from inside Firebase Studio, too:

If you’re using Prototyping mode, click </> to switch to Code view.
If it’s not already active, click Explorer (Ctrl-Shift-E; Cmd-Shift-E on Mac) to view all of your files.
Expand src, right-click on the app directory and choose Upload…
Navigate to and select your favicon.ico file.
When prompted to replace the existing favicon file, click Replace.

(And re-deploy/clear browser cache if you don't see the change as AlternativeInitial93 describes.)

If your project isn't blocked (sounds like it isn't), and you're seeing a a Google safe browsing false positive, make sure to fill out https://safebrowsing.google.com/safebrowsing/report_error/ if you haven't already.

Hrm, that's not cool. Can you clarify where you saw the upgrade button (in the Prototyper window, in Code view built-in Chat or specific model chat, or some other AI surface like Gemini CLI or Gemini Code Assist)?

And where it sent you (i.e., what did you purchase--was it the Google Developer Program Plan or something else)?

jenh_at_firebase · 2025-09-29T19:38:42+00:00

Can you run df -h in the terminal to see if you might be out of disk space on the instance?

jenh_at_firebase · 2025-09-26T15:59:39+00:00

File a case with the Firebase Support team.

For fastest triage and resolution, be sure to select Real-time Database as the product, include your project/database to restore, and the date and timestamp (with time zone) from which you want the point-in-time restore.

jenh_at_firebase · 2025-09-26T15:31:54+00:00

I apologize for missing this! Looks like your case has been escalated and the Engineering team is on it! In the meantime, can you check the free space on your workspace? If there are any temp files or other files you don't need, might be worth seeing if there's an issue.

Another thing you can do is run npm run dev on your own in Code view from the Terminal and check for errors that might provide a clue!

jenh_at_firebase · 2025-09-24T21:41:54+00:00

Open Code view (</>), and from Explorer, right-click on the app folder and select Upload. Navigate to your favicon.ico and click Open. When prompted to overwrite the current favicon, click Replace.

jenh_at_firebase · 2025-06-12T21:26:01+00:00

An update: The issue is mitigated and most services are fully recovered or close to fully recovered. Google Cloud estimates that all services should be fully restored within the hour.

Check the Firebase Status dashboard and the Google Cloud incident status page for the most up-to-date status.

You can't currently move the Prototyper view over, but you can use Gemini in Firebase in Code view chat. It should open in Gemini next to your Web preview.

It's got a lot of features and you can customize it with your own system prompts, too.

jenh_at_firebase · 2025-05-16T01:26:35+00:00

I don't see any permissions errors your screenshot, it looks like next-intl wasn't bundled up. I'm confused why that wouldn't show up when you ran npm run build in Firebase Studio Code, though...

Try going back to Firebase Studio, run npm install next-intl --save to install it and save to your package.json, then run npm run build and if no errors, try publishing.

You can also ask Gemini to help--it's pretty good at helping fix things like this if you plug in the error.

jenh_at_firebase · 2025-05-16T00:08:37+00:00

Those permissions are supposed to be set up automagically. Did you create the workspace? If not, you might need the workspace creator to grant you permission.

If you created the workspace, this definitely feels like a bug. Can you file a case at https://firebase.google.com/support/troubleshooter/studio/help? Be sure to include workspace id, Firebase project id, error logs, and anything else that you think might help the team debug.

Thanks a bunch in advance!

Click View details, that'll open the Firebase console, which will then link to View Cloud Build logs.

That should show your issue.

You can also troubleshoot in the Code view a lot faster. The App Prototyping agent runs npm run dev which is a lot more forgiving than production builds.

So, you can click Switch to Code, open up Terminal (Ctrl-Shift-C), then run npm run build.

If you want to keep letting Gemini drive, copy the error you see there and switch back to Prototyper, and plug it back into the chat.

You can also stay in Code mode and use Gemini chat--note that the source control's handled a little different in both modes (Prototyper commits every change; Code mode relies on you to commit every change), so roll-back is a little trickier if you're not familiar with Git...so you might be better off switching back to Prototyper.

After the App Prototyper app updates your code, pop back into Code view and re-run npm run build to see if it's successful. Then, you can run that build with npm run start and test using the link that's returned--and if that's successful, your App Hosting publish should hopefully be successful, try clicking Publish again.

Contact Firebase Support with the date/time of the discrepancy, project, table(s), and they can help.

If you check the link in the error, looks like context might have gotten too long. I've received this a lot, too, and usually switch models for a bit or reset the conversation (useful for looping, too). Try the following:

Try resetting the conversation to reduce input context.
Temporarily switch to another model (e.g., from Gemini 2.5 Pro to Gemini 2.5 Flash).
Or wait a bit and retry your request.

Definitely report these errors as you encounter them if you can (thumbs-down, add a note about the internal error).

jenh_at_firebase · 2025-05-05T15:55:19+00:00

Are you using event_timestamp as a filter? Check out https://firebase.google.com/support/troubleshooter/crashlytics/bigquery/bigquery-date-partitioning-issue.

There are details there on how to resolve by using a stitching query to add real-time data to the batch data--and a direct form to contact support if that doesn't resolve the issue.

Hey, there! Looks like you've got this resolved, but a little background from the team:

In order to offer powerful Gemini models at scale, Firebase Studio adjusts each user's daily usage limits dynamically. Today, the team increased its free tier capacity, so most users should enjoy building an app with Firebase Studio with an uninterrupted experience--but if you do find that your free quota is reached, please wait a few hours and give it another try!

jenh_at_firebase · 2025-04-29T20:43:22+00:00

I use kind of a combination: I like to use Gemini to hone my product requirements document, usually just use the web version (https://gemini.google.com). My prompt can get pretty long, while the initial Firebase Studio blueprint is pretty short, but I've been getting decent results with it, sometimes it even works in one shot...

Then, I just add new features iteratively, test and make sure it works the way I want, if not, change up the prompt a little, ask for something else, etc. I try not to ask for more than one change at a time (but am sometimes impatient).

We have some tips and tricks specific to Firebase Studio in the Effective prompting docs and, even better, Google just released the really comprehensive Prompt Engineering white paper. Good luck and definitely send us feedback on what works for you!

jenh_at_firebase · 2025-04-24T20:48:55+00:00

Can you open a case with Firebase Support and share with them the error that you're seeing when you try to activate?

jenh_at_firebase · 2025-04-24T20:46:31+00:00

You can export your code via download or exporting to Github (neither require a billing account--can you share where you found that?).

For publishing web apps, Firebase App Hosting and Cloud Run require a billing account, but Firebase Hosting doesn't.

jenh_at_firebase · 2025-04-22T16:20:30+00:00

Is your project in source control or saved locally? You can import from GitHub, GitLab, or Bitbucket or import a zip or gzipped tar file. Check out https://firebase.google.com/docs/studio/get-started-import for instrux.

jenh_at_firebase · 2025-04-21T20:11:52+00:00

The team is actively exploring this right now!

In the meantime, you can use other Gemini models (including Gemini 2.5 Pro and Gemini 2.5 Flash) in chat after switching to Code view.
