Domain name verification on Firebase

Question

I've developed an app using Firebase database and hosting and after I've bought domain name on names.co.uk (2 days ago). I've added two TXT Records as Firebase asks, but still this message shows :

Current Status: The TXT Records at your DNS Provider do not match the values below.

Does anybody know is it fine and I just need to wait more time or I've done smth wrong and this can be a reason why verification takes so long time?

Answer 1

The Firebase Hosting servers run what is essentially this command for verifying the TXT records for your domain:

dig -t txt +noall +answer tennispredictions.eu

If I run this command right now, I get no results. If the Firebase servers are seeing the same in their DNS query, they will not be able to continue.

You can also use mxtoolbox to query the DNS: http://mxtoolbox.com/SuperTool.aspx?action=a%3atennispredictions.eu&run=toolpage. That also gives me no results at the moment.

That means that either you didn't save/apply your changes yet, or they haven't propagated everywhere yet. The longer it takes for the changes to show up, the more likely it becomes that you still need to take some action at your DNS provider (names.co.uk in your case).

Answer 2

So it looks like you've put your TXT records on tennispredictions.eu.tennispredictions.eu - every DNS host is different and it seems yours requires you to leave the first box blank to put a TXT record on the root domain:

dig -t txt +noall +answer tennispredictions.eu.tennispredictions.eu

If you just remove everything from the first text boxes on lines 3 and 4 you should be all set.
