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\'

Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

For TXT records use @ for host instead of mysite.com

and for

A record, if it is subdomain, just add subdomain in the place of host. for example, https://subdomain.mysite.com => just add "subdomain" in Host of your DNS records in godaddy.

Answer 3

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.

Answer 4

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.

Answer 5

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

Answer 6

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
