Firebase hosting not validating TXT record in GoDaddy

Question

I deployed my app and now I'm trying to add my custom URL. I followed Firebase's instructions and added their TXT record to my DNS (GoDaddy). But now Firebase is saying it's still not verified. I assume I'm doing something wrong, but there's not much here to mess up...

Solution 1

Per my comment above, the solution was to use the @ sign in the Name column of GoDaddy, not the actual name of the domain that is owned.

Solution 2

To add a bit more information to this great solution for future reference.

DNS propagation can be monitored using a service like: https://www.whatsmydns.net/ This will show you when your records are ready, thus can be verified by firebase.

As for subdomain, ie. beta.example.com

The value would be 'beta' instead of '@' or 'example.com' for the godaddy DNS records.

Solution 3

TXT GoDaddy TTL time is approximately 2 hours, Please re-verify after 2 hour firebase.

Solution 4

I see you fixed your problem but for anyone trying to link their godaddy domain with the reset password/ verify email service in Firebase Auth you need to remove your domain name from the CNAME record name.

Firebase gave me firebase2._domainkey.mydomain.com and in godaddy CNAME record name I only used firebase2._domainkey and it verified my domain.

Solution 5

In case you have to set up the acme-challenge for your https certificate you probably may get something like this:

_acme-challenge.domain.com

just remove domain.com

in the case, you might have a subdomain _acme-challenge.subdomain.domain.com change it only to _acme-challenge.subdomain

it will work in a couple of hours

Pointing to whatsmydns.net was useful for me - waiting for my TXT to appear - whatsmydns.net/#TXT/example.com

Was after this for 2 hours. Thank you!

This worked for me. @ for the name for the TXT file and @ for a redirect from www.yourdomain.com to yourdomain.com in the A file

adding CNAME www mytestapp.firebaseapp.com ttll:1 Hour is not needed?

[Kehlin Swain]

Do you enter your firebase domain name or godaddy new domain name?

[Alocus]

You shall enter the godaddy new domain in the tool to see how it propagate via DNS servers.

[landnbloc]

do this for your firebase1._domainkey as well! :)

If anybody see's this and is using google domains, make sure you do this ^^^. Google domains automatically appends your domain to the end, so my CNAME name was always firebase2._domainkey.mydomain.com.mydomain.com and I did not realise.
