Cannot add node to Firebase through console
I have a Firebase project with 2 mobile apps: FriendlyChat example from Firebase/Google (messages) - created first Grocery Items list (grocery-items) - trying to create second You can see the messages node already there with some test messages inside. But when I try to add a child to the appId node, I give it a name "grocery-items" and I click on ADD , but the node does not get added. It just disappears. Why can't I add the grocery-items node? The Firebase Database is a key-value store. It stores the values of keys at paths in the tree. But it only stores keys when they have an actual value.
