Setting up a Firebase project with Firebase Hosting

This file contains a detailed guide how to create and configure a Firebase project with Hosting to use the firebase-hosting-api-java client library.

Create a Firebase project in Firebase Console

Open https://console.firebase.google.com/u/0/ and press on "Add project":

Define a name for the project:

REALLY IMPORTANT: If you define a non-unique name, then the project name and project id will be different

Hint: You'll use the project ID as "siteId" in the library configuration:

Disable Analytics if you don't need it, then press "Create project":

Click on Project Settings:

Click on "Service accounts" panel then "Generate new private key":

Download the file and save it as "service-account.json" and save into "src/main/resources" folder.

Before you begin

Enable the API usage: https://firebase.google.com/docs/hosting/api-deploy#enable-api

Run the sample app

Run the sample v0.7 application, and you have to see many HTTP 200's.

Then check your project in Firebase console:

IMPORTANT: If you see non HTTP 200's, you might have some issues with your Google Cloud/Firebase account.
