COMMON MISTAKES:

1. Using our firebase instance for development purpose.

Note: If you are running the apps in your browser with preset Firebase account, then you can see weird behavior in apps, because multiple users may be using the same Project to test / develop. It is recommended to attach your own Firebase database first, and then start testing

2. Not changing the API_KEYS. Change the Google Map or any other relevant API key with your own API key. You will need to create these Keys from Google API console.

3. Not Enabling All the APIs required for the App. This app requires many APIs enabled. And Google may change some more API models. So be aware of the console warning. :

• GOOGLE MAPS JS API

• DIRECTIONS API

• GEOCODING API
