I am using Vue3(js not ts) and Cap to build a mobile app. I have your implementation working on the webside but when i try to run the app in the emulator for android it instantly cloes with this error:

: I am unsure of how to proceed. I followed your directions step by step and If the firebase initialization happens in web I'm not sure what i missed to throw such an error.

Thanks for your consideration and building this plugin!!

This error occurs when the Firebase configuration file was not added correctly. Here you can find the docs: https://github.com/capawesome-team/capacitor-firebase/blob/main/docs/firebase-setup.md
