Unable to install angular fire @angular/fire@latest

Question

I just started freshly a new angular material project. And it fails with below errors

moblizeit@Vikrams-MBP scanbuddyadmin % ng add @angular/fire@latest

Add this to your package.json:

"overrides": {
  "@angular/fire": {
    "@angular/common": "^16.0.0",
    "@angular/core": "^16.0.0",
    "@angular/platform-browser": "^16.0.0",
    "@angular/platform-browser-dynamic": "^16.0.0"
  }
}

Also it seems that this will be fixed with Angular Fire 7.6.0
