File google-services.json is missing. The Google Services Plugin cannot function without it about firebase

[CatchABus]

Fixed by adding google-services.json into App_Resources/src directory.

@triniwiz this is not documented anywhere as far as I can tell.

EDIT: Never mind, it's here https://github.com/NativeScript/firebase/blob/main/packages/firebase-core/README.md#usage

make sure that the file name is 'google-services.json'

I have the same issue.

Execution failed for task ':app:processDebugGoogleServices'.
File google-services.json is missing. The Google Services Plugin cannot function without it.
 Searched Location:
/app/platforms/android/app/src/debug/google-services.json
/app/platforms/android/app/src/google-services.json
/app/platforms/android/app/src/Debug/google-services.json
/app/platforms/android/app/google-services.json

I have placed the JSON file as App_Resources/Android/src/google-services.json with correct filename. Or as suggested here above as App_Resources/src/google-services.json, but still the same error will happen.

By manually copying to the last folder (app/platforms/android/app) the following error will happen;

Execution failed for task ':app:mergeDebugResources'.
app/platforms/android/app/src/main/res/src/google-services.json: Error: The file name must end with .xml

However, if I copy it to the first folder (/app/platforms/android/app/src/debug/) then the build will continue.

Note that the file should be in App_Resources/Android/src, not App_Resources/src.
