Firebase Invalid API key

Question

I have an android project which I want to expand with Firebase. Currently I've got an error logging when I want to test a crash with a log message.

Server did not receive report: Origin Error message: API key not valid. Please pass a valid API key.

What can I do to fix this? I've copied the google-services.json file to my project from the console.

Got the same error in my Angular project. I know the question is for android but this is the question that pops up when I searched the error for angular so hopefully, it would help another person in the near future. Make sure you're importing the right variable. In the app.module.ts file:

import { FIREBASE } from 'src/environments/firebase';

imports: [
    AngularFireModule.initializeApp(FIREBASE.firebase)
  ],

firebase.ts (environment file) fill with your config info from firebase.

export const FIREBASE = {
  production: false,
  firebase: {
    apiKey: "",
  authDomain: "",
  databaseURL: "",
  projectId: "",
  storageBucket: "",
  messagingSenderId: "",
  appId: "",
  measurementId: ""
  }
};

So make sure you're importing the right variable. Took me some time to figure out. Happy coding!

Make sure you've got the API keys set correctly in your Google Developer Console for your Firebase project.
