Unable to copy google-services.json.

I’m new to Nativescript and trying to configure Firebase in my app.

I’m using nativescript 3.3.1 version

These are the steps I followed

1. Added fire base plugin to the project (tns plugin add nativescript-plugin-firebase)

2. Created Firebase project (with correct project Id) on web and got the google-services.json file

3. Copied downloaded json file to app/App_Resources/Android folder.

4. Added following code to app.component.ts file import firebase = require('nativescript-plugin-firebase'); firebase.init() .then(() => console.log('Firebase initialized!!!')) .catch(error => console.log(Failed to initialize Firebase ${error}));

5. executed command tns run android

But it is giving following output:

Am I mistaken anything?

@EddyVerbruggen that would be because I’m too impatient to read documentation… Thanks for your quick response.

The problem is in hooks/after-prepare/firebase-copy-google-services.js line 10.

var destinationGoogleJson = path.join($projectData.platformsDir, "android", "app", "google-services.json");

platforms/android doesn’t have app folder and that is why the hook is failing.

Correct me if I’m wrong but the google-services.json should be in platforms/android, not in platforms/android/app folder.

Changing

var destinationGoogleJson = path.join($projectData.platformsDir, "android", "app", "google-services.json");

to

var destinationGoogleJson = path.join($projectData.platformsDir, "android", "google-services.json");

fixes the problem. App builds correctly and gradle is not complaining about lack of google-services.json
