Changing Firebase credentials by adding my own does not help.
If there are additional instructions in readme file that I've missed, please add them.

Having the same problem

I suspect the following part of the readme file is intended to indicate how to approach this:

update the environment variables found in [env/*.env]

So if you set the following environment variables to some values (they do not even have to be valid credentials), the error no longer occurs:

GOOGLE_CLOUD_PROJECT=
GOOGLE_CLOUD_REGION=

However, I'd suggest developers update the readme file to clarify this further.

Additionally, my web browser reports other console errors even after this issue is fixed.
