SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill requires firebase-tools, and includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve? Setting up Firebase for a new app involves repetitive CLI steps: installing firebase-tools, logging in, creating or selecting a project, and downloading config files like google-services.json. This Skill guides an AI agent through that foundational setup so developers avoid manual Firebase Console work. ## Core Features & Use Cases - CLI Setup & Authentication: Verifies Node.js and firebase-tools installation, and handles login including --no-localhost for remote environments. - Project Management: Creates new Firebase projects or switches the active project context with firebase use. - Config File Retrieval: Downloads google-services.json for Android or GoogleService-Info.plist for iOS programmatically via apps:sdkconfig. - Use Case: An Android developer starting Firebase integration asks the agent to log in, create a project, register the app package, and place google-services.json into the app/ directory without opening the Firebase Console. ## Quick Start Set up Firebase for my Android app by logging into the CLI, creating a project, and downloading the google-services.json config file.

How do I download google-services.json using the Firebase CLI?▼
