# Invalid Firebase File

#### Build failure: Invalid Firebase configuration file

If your app build is failing, your build is not working, or your download is not completing and you see the error:

*“It seems your app build has encountered an issue. It appears that the Google Firebase Configuration file uploaded is invalid.”*

This means the Firebase configuration file uploaded in your dashboard is incorrect, corrupted, or does not match your app. This will cause the build process to fail.

#### Why this build failure happens

1. Incorrect Firebase file uploaded
   * The file belongs to a different Firebase project
   * The file does not match your app’s package name or Bundle ID
2. Wrong file type uploaded
   * Android requires the *google-services.json* file
   * iOS requires the GoogleService-Info.plist file
3. File was modified or corrupted
   * The file contents were edited manually
   * The file was renamed incorrectly

#### How to fix this build failure

1. Regenerate the Firebase configuration file
   * Log in to the [Firebase Console](https://console.firebase.google.com/)
   * Open the correct Firebase project
   * Select your registered app
   * Download a fresh configuration file

{% hint style="danger" %}
Do not edit or modify the Firebase configuration file after downloading it from Firebase.
{% endhint %}

2. Verify app details in Firebase
   * Ensure the Android package name matches exactly
   * Ensure the iOS Bundle ID matches exactly

Even a small mismatch will result in a build failure.

3. Upload the new Firebase file
   * Go to your app dashboard
   * Navigate to the screen where you uploaded the Firebase configuration file: [Login Build Settings](https://app.appmysite.com/app/login/build-settings) or [Notification build settings](https://app.appmysite.com/app/notifications/build-settings)
   * Upload the newly downloaded file
   * Save the changes
4. Rebuild your app
   * Go to the [Download dashboard](https://app.appmysite.com/app/download)
   * Click Rebuild under the relevant app card

Once the correct Firebase configuration file is uploaded, your build failure should be resolved and the download should complete successfully.
