Hello @albert , can I ask for your help:

A simple helloworld program is now successfully downloaded, but when I add the firebase component, the app does not built (so the email from steve jeaver said)

further testing showed, that a app with no firebase component (no component at all) but the uploaded plist-file was not able to built - strange.🤨
