   Support Request – Firebase Studio Preview & Environment Variables

   Subject: Firebase Studio Preview does not allow setting custom environment variables (Admin SDK / Service Account issue)

   Hello Firebase Studio Support Team,

   I’m using Firebase Studio (Cloud Workstations) with a Next.js (App Router, Server Actions) project that uses Firebase Admin SDK to write to Firestore.

   I’m encountering a blocking issue with environment variable management in Firebase Studio Preview.

   🔍 Problem Description

   My application requires a service account to initialize Firebase Admin SDK.
   Normally this is done via an environment variable such as:

   FIREBASESERVICEACCOUNT_KEY=<base64-encoded service account JSON>

   However, in Firebase Studio Preview:

   There is no UI or documented way to define custom environment variables or secrets

   Preview automatically injects GOOGLEAPPLICATIONCREDENTIALS

   This causes Admin SDK to fall back to Application Default Credentials (ADC)

   ADC fails in Preview with errors like:

   Getting metadata from plugin failed
   Could not refresh access token (HTTP 500)

   Even when using dotenv or runtime logic, this cannot be overridden because the env is injected before the Node process starts.

   📜 What I Tried

   Removing GOOGLEAPPLICATIONCREDENTIALS from .env

   Forcing credentials in code (cert(serviceAccount))

   Using dotenv

   Using Firebase CLI (functions:config:set)

   Restarting / rebuilding Preview

   Searching for Preview env / secrets configuration

   None of these allow injecting a custom env variable into the Preview runtime.

   ❓ Questions

   Is it currently supported to define custom environment variables or secrets for Firebase Studio Preview?

   If yes, where is this documented or configured?

   If not, is there a recommended workflow for projects using:

   Next.js Server Actions

   Firebase Admin SDK

   Firestore writes

   Is Preview intended only as a frontend-only viewer, not a backend runtime?

   🎯 Impact

   This limitation prevents:

   Testing Admin SDK logic

   Firestore write operations

   Any backend logic that depends on secure credentials

   At the moment, the only working solution is local development or Cloud Run/App Hosting, which defeats the purpose of Preview for full-stack apps.

   Thank you for your help.
   Clarification or documentation on this would be very valuable.

   Best regards,
   Murat

2. There is an error when creating multiple applications.

   Hi Firebase Studio team and community,

   I'm running into an error when trying to create multiple applications in the platform.
   It seems like there's a limit that's causing this issue, and I have to reach out manually to request more.
   This is a bit frustrating for power users could this be fixed by introducing a paid tier for additional apps or an auto-billing option to unlock more without the hassle?

   Thanks for considering this! Firebase Studio is still the best app builder I've used.

   Best,
   Thanks
   Ryan

4. Add a CLI flag for hosting project previous release count option

   I have an ecommerce SAAS company where each client/tenant website is hosted on Firebase Hosting. We have over 80 websites hosted across six Firebase projects.

   We create each new site using the Firebase CLI:

   firebase hosting:sites:create [options] <siteId>

   The only options for this command are:

   --app <appId> specify an existing Firebase Web App ID
   -h, --help display help for command

   I'd like to request an additional option to set the "previous releases to keep", aka "previous release count".

   After I create a new site, I have to deploy the new website to Firebase hosting before I can set the previous release count on the Firebase Hosting website. The website won't let me set the release count before deploying my first release.

   If I can set this previous release count when creating the site, then I don't have to wait until after I complete these two required steps (plus remember to do it).

   If I forget to set the previous release count, then I'll end up with too many previous releases that I'm paying for that I'll never use.

   Basically, this would eliminate one of the many little annoying steps I need to do manually when launching a new tenant website.

5. Create a 'cookbook' tutorial about adding 'Firebase Authentication' to 'Google AI Studio' apps

   Problem/Goal

   Developers using Google AI Studio to build custom AI applications (especially those moving beyond prototyping) need a straightforward, secure way to manage user accounts and access control. Integrating a robust authentication system like Firebase Authentication is the standard solution, but connecting it specifically to an AI Studio-powered backend or frontend can involve several tricky, undocumented steps.

   Suggested Feature/Content

   Create a "Cookbook" Tutorial (a detailed, step-by-step guide) that specifically focuses on the end-to-end implementation of Firebase Authentication for AI Studio applications.

   Key 'Recipes' (Sections) to Include

   Recipe 1: Firebase Project Setup

   Initialize a new Firebase project and enable a common authentication method (e.g., Email/Password or Google Sign-In).

   Securely store API keys and configuration settings.

   Recipe 2: Frontend Integration (Web/React)

   Implementing sign-up/login/logout UI components using the Firebase SDK.

   Managing the user's authentication state.

   Recipe 3: Secure AI Backend Communication

   The crucial step: Using the frontend's Firebase ID Token to make a secure, authenticated request to the backend (e.g., a Google Cloud Function or Cloud Run service hosting the AI Studio code).

   Verifying the ID Token on the backend to confirm the user's identity and grant access to the AI model call.

   Recipe 4: Role-Based Access Control (Optional)

   Adding custom claims to a Firebase user token to implement simple tiers (e.g., 'Free Tier' vs. 'Premium Tier' access to different models or rate limits).

   Expected Benefits

   Accelerates Development: Provides a "copy-and-paste" blueprint, lowering the barrier to entry for building production-ready, multi-user AI applications.

   Improves Security: Encourages developers to use best practices for token-based authentication from the start.

   Showcases Integration Power: Highlights the seamless connectivity between Google's developer tools (Firebase, AI Studio, Google Cloud).

8. Don't require Github integration for App Hosting Backends

   I'm using Cloud Build and deploying to App Hosting using the CLI. We don't have an option when running firebase apphosting:backends:create to not connect a github repo, even though with the CLI deploy option the integration is not necessary. We're able to script setup of Hosting backends, but the github connection requirement in App Hosting disables our ability to script setup of our App Hosting Backends.

11. Firebase is garbage, unusable, and does not work for any actual coding

    I have been using Replit and Claude code for over 3000 hours. Firebase doesn't even come close to being able to develope any real code or functionality. Mistake after mistake, trial and error. If you really want to fix the issues, upvote this, then have google pay me for my feedback. otherwise enjoy the useless tool. going back to reality.... to develop real apps.

15. Data Connect should be serverless through and through.

    One of the great things about firebase is that it didn't burden you of your design decisions and let you pay for resources when you needed it. Serverless is one of the main selling point of firebase, you can see its footprints on firestore, realtimedb, and firebase functions.

    Seeing the need to instantiate a DB instance when getting started with data connect was so disappointing for me because I thought it was a step in the wrong direction.

16. Checkout git tag specific code and deploy it

    If possible there should be a feature that allow developer to checkout git tag specific code and deploy it, just like commit based and branch based deploment.

    Example:
    If I want to deploy code tagged with v1.0.1 created through github, then firebase apphosting should also provide an option to enter tag. So that, code associated with that tag checkout and deploy on apphosting link.

19. Enjoying the clean, simple design for Real-time Database

    Just positive feedback for the Firebase team! I'm a retired software engineer developing small 2-D Android-based games for my family and others.
    The real-time database allows me to run these games across the web, among mukltiple Android devices, with no need for a "back-end", and is so much cleaner and easier to set up and use than the Android Bluetooth APIs, which are of course limited in scope and reach.
    THANK YOU to the Firebase team for providing such an elegant service.
