I want to build a shiny app that uses Firebase authentication. However i dont want to use config file since its not secure to do so. So, I set environment variables as instructed in the documentation (https://firebase.john-coene.com/guide/config/) . However when i run the above code, i still get the Error : Cannot find configuration file, see `firebase_config error.

Can you share your version of Firebase?

[can-taslicukur]

I installed it today by running install.packages("firebase") and running packageVersion('firebase') returns ‘0.2.1’

[JohnCoene]

I don't think I have that on CRAN yet, you'll need the development version from Github for this to work, sorry.

[JohnCoene]

Did that work?

[JohnCoene]

I'm going to assume it worked and close. Please reopen if it still does not work.
