Summary of Changes

Hello @riggaroo, I'm Gemini Code Assist¹! I'm currently reviewing this pull request and will post my feedback shortly. In the meantime, here's a summary to help you and other reviewers quickly get up to speed!

This pull request focuses on enhancing the security and maintainability of the project's Firebase configuration by removing the google-services.json file from version control. This change centralizes the management of this sensitive file within the CI/CD pipeline and updates user setup instructions accordingly.

Highlights

• Configuration Management: The google-services.json file, which contains sensitive Firebase project configuration, is no longer committed directly to the repository. Instead, the intent is for it to be pulled down during the build_and_test.yml workflow, improving security and consistency.
• Documentation Update: The README.md has been updated to reflect the new approach for handling google-services.json, instructing users to simply place the file in the app folder rather than replacing an existing placeholder.
• Git Ignore Rule: A new entry for google-services.json has been added to app/.gitignore to ensure this file is not accidentally committed to the repository.

Code Review

This pull request correctly removes the google-services.json file from version control by adding it to .gitignore and updating the setup instructions in the README.md. This is a good practice for security and project configuration.

My review includes one suggestion to improve the clarity of the setup instructions in the README.md by fixing a link that will be broken as a result of this change.
