Cannot find list of Firebase projects
Following the book Firebase Web App with ESP (v 1.2), I successfully created a Realtime Database in Firebase and, after programing the ESP with the help of Visual Studio Code/PlatformIO, I can see, under the Realtime Database / Data on https://console.firebase.google.com/project/…. , the changing values of the BME280 sensor.
I am however stuck at the Initializing Web App Firebase Project, page 125, paragraph 5 of the book: the list of the Firebase projects is not found.  I must say that on the firebase login (page 121, section 2 of the book) I had the “Already logged in as user@gmail.com” message.
It looks like an authentication problem but I know not enough to solve this. How should I proceed?
