Firestore: Permission_Denied: Missing or Insufficient Permissions

firestore: PERMISSION_DENIED: Missing or insufficient permissions

Go in Database ->
Rules ->

For development:

Change allow read, write: if false; to true;

Note: It's quick solution for development purpose only because it will turns off all the security. So, it's not recommended for production.

For production:

If authenticated from firebase: Change allow read, write: if false; to request.auth != null;

firebase Error : FirebaseError: Missing or insufficient permissions

As Frank van Puffelen pointed out your problem lies in Firebase Firestore security rules.

If you can save post on db, it seems that you have write permission but not read permission on that collection.

You can test how changing security rules affect this problem by first enabling all reads and writes to that collection

rules_version = '2';
service cloud.firestore {
  match /databases/{database}/documents {
    match /yourCollectionName/{ID}{
        allow read, write: if true; 
    }
  }
}

, and then restricting the collection as you need.

Check these guides to apply needed modifications and best practices to your security rules.

Firestore PERMISSION_DENIED

After several I realized that the problem was not only under MacOs but with emulators. And by digging further I realized that it is AppCheck that I activated on the project which does not accept all the requests of the Debug mode under the emulator.

FirebaseFirestoreException: PERMISSION_DENIED: Missing or insufficient permissions

I'm not sure what the underlying issue was but after deleting google-services.json and re-downloading it, the issue seems to be resolved.

Firestore unable to access data - Missing or insufficient permissions

Finally after wasting several hours, creating multiple projects and multiple apps, my problem got solved, and solution is very weird.

Google account on which I was creating these projects was relatively new and even though I was creating new projects I was getting same results. Then I created project using my old Google account which I used in past for firebase, and it started working fine.

I don't know why this happened. I don't think reason is related to bank verification because my project was just started and in free tier, and all other features were working fine. May be this was bug in firebase.
