Firebase: Cannot Verify Ownership of Namecheap Domain


I'm having trouble verifying namecheap domain with firebase hosting

Tried to follow this posts instructions without success: Unable to Verify Custom Domain with Firebase Using Namecheap and this Adding custom hosting domain: "Unexpected TXT records found. Continuing to watch for changes."

So my definitions are like this:

Type: TXT Record
Host: @
Value: globalsign-domain-verification=...
TTL: Automatic

Type: TXT Record
Host: @
Value: firebase=mydomain.info
TTL: Automatic

Type: CNAME Record
Host: www
Value: myprojectname.firebaseapp.com.
TTL: Automatic

Type: A Record
Host: @
Value: First IP Address retrieved with MXToolbox
TTL: Automatic

Type: A Record
Host: @
Value: Second IP Address retrieved with MXToolbox
TTL: Automatic

When I execute "dig -t txt +noall +answer mydomain.info", it returns:

mydomain.info.      1798    IN  TXT "globalsign-domain-verification=..."
mydomain.info.      1798    IN  TXT "firebase=myprojectname"

(It has the extra dot at the end of the domain)

But still in firebase dashboard I have this message:

Verifying ownership
Unexpected TXT records found. Continuing to watch for changes.

and later:

Verification failed
Couldn't find the correct TXT records in your DNS records

I'm trying to solve this problem for several days now.


Solution

  • Strongly recommend that you contact Firebase support. I had a similar issue going on for days and only after they manually intervened behind the scenes it was resolved. Good luck...
