Hi.
Have you followed all the instructions until that point?
I’m not sure if it makes a difference, but can you try to use a folder with a different name than “firebase” in your documents?
Then, repeat all the instructions to create the firebase project, but on that new folder.
Let me know if it makes a difference or if you continue with the same error.
Regards,
Sara

Hi Sara
I commented with “//” in my JSON I didn’t know that such comments are not allowed in JSON, thats why it said : I had an error in JSON at position 0
Thank you Sara🙏
