Hey @vengoran thanks for your report. First of all, I can see you are confusing the Write permission with the Create permission.
From the Docs:

• Create: Allow users to create a new document inside the collection.

• Write: Allow users to update a document of a collection.

I can see that in your project you have Create enabled for "Everyone", so it's correct that you are able to create documents from your app.
However, I also tried setting this Create to "No One" on a project I created to replicate your issue, and I was still able to create documents. This was because my project was new, so I had a "Test Rule" inside my Firestore rules that allowed every interaction with my DB until certain date next month.
So, please make sure to disable the Create flag instead of the Write flag, and also remove the "Test Rule" if you have it.
Hope I was helpful, I'm closing this issue because I don't see any bug here. If you still think there is a bug, please let me know.
Have a great day!
