Firebase deploy 404 can't find index.html

Question

I'm running firebase init and it's creating firebase.json. firebase.json is in the apps root directory, pointing towards my public directory app. See here:

firebase.json

{
  "firebase": "harrison",
  "public": "app",
  "ignore": [
    "firebase.json",
    "**/.*",
    "**/node_modules/**"
  ]
}

Here is where my firebase.json lives:

Here is my public directory, app:

When I run firebase deploy from the command line, everything seems to upload correctly. I then run firebase open or equivalently go to the deploy site, and I get a 404 saying my index.html was not found when it's CLEARLY in the specified directory.

Answer 1

"rewrites": [
  {
    "source": "**",
    "destination": "/index.html"
  }

I met the same problem as yours, here is my soluation:

1. run firebase init

2. choose the host option

3. rewrite all to index:yes

4. overwrite to dist/index :no

and then firebase deploy

and then solve the problem
