    switch (mode)
    {
    case file_mode_open_read:
        file = SPIFFS.open(filename, FILE_OPEN_MODE_READ);
        break;
    case file_mode_open_write:
        file = SPIFFS.open(filename, FILE_OPEN_MODE_WRITE);
        break;
    case file_mode_open_append:

        SPIFFS.remove(filename);
        break;
    default:
        break;
    }
}

if i use the credentials.json (standard json as downloaded from firebase)

    FileConfig sa_file(creds_file.c_str(), fileCallback);
    ServiceAuth sa_file_auth(timeStatusCB, getFile(sa_file));
   initializeApp(authClient, app, getAuth(sa_file_auth));

it fails to initialize

i checked the file content with serial.print and everything seems ok.

on the otherway if i use the hardcoded way

 #define FIREBASE_PROJECT_ID "...." // Taken from "project_id" key in JSON file.
    #define FIREBASE_CLIENT_EMAIL "..." // Taken from "client_email" key in JSON file.
    const char PRIVATE_KEY[] PROGMEM = "-----BEGIN PRIVATE KEY-----\nMIIE....X\n-----END PRIVATE KEY-----\n"; // Taken from "private_key" key in JSON file.
    ServiceAuth sa_auth(timeStatusCB, FIREBASE_CLIENT_EMAIL, FIREBASE_PROJECT_ID, PRIVATE_KEY, 3000 /* expire period in seconds (<= 3600) */);
    initializeApp(authClient, app, getAuth(sa_auth));

it initialize instantly

what i am doing wrong?

The problem is now fixed in v1.1.8.
