I am having the same problem were you able to find a fix?

I'd suggest to create a new project without a standalone, add firebase to it, then copy the generated files to your standalone project

or just create app.module.ts file add class with ngmodule decorator and then run the command. it won't throw an error and you can simply copy what was generated inside module to main.ts without creating whole new app.

import {NgModule} from "@angular/core"

@NgModule({
providers: []
})
export class AnyName{}

This is how I do it, I make a file with firebase configuration, which exports the "provide" functions, and this is then used in the app configuration:

# My firebase environment is saved in the Angular environment file
# @environment is just a typescript path alias
import { importProvidersFrom, EnvironmentProviders } from '@angular/core';
import { provideFirebaseApp, initializeApp } from '@angular/fire/app';
import { getFirestore, provideFirestore } from '@angular/fire/firestore';
import { provideAuth, getAuth } from '@angular/fire/auth';
import { environment } from '@environment';

const firebaseProviders: EnvironmentProviders = importProvidersFrom([
    provideFirebaseApp(() => initializeApp(environment.firebase)),
    provideFirestore(() => getFirestore()),
    provideAuth(() => getAuth())
]);

export { firebaseProviders };

Then in app.config.ts:

import { ApplicationConfig, isDevMode } from '@angular/core';
import { firebaseProviders } from '@shared/firebase';
# ... other stuff

export const appConfig: ApplicationConfig = {
    providers: [
       # ... other providers
        firebaseProviders
      
    ]
};

We should try to add it somewhere in the docs page, since angular made the standalone component as a default way when creating a new component. This will make things easy for new devs who are relatively new to angular.

I tried it now, it works fine for me
here is the generated code in app.config.ts

    importProvidersFrom(
      provideFirebaseApp(() => initializeApp({
        'projectId': '...',
        'appId': '...',
        'storageBucket': '...',
        'apiKey': '...',
        'authDomain': '...',
        'messagingSenderId': '...',
      }))),
    importProvidersFrom(provideFirestore(() => getFirestore()))],
