Common Issues & Solutions
# Solution 1: Check file location
ls -la .env.local # Should be in project root
# Solution 2: Restart dev server
npm run dev
# Solution 3: Check variable names start with VITE_
echo $VITE_FIREBASE_API_KEY
// Check Firebase config in browser console
console.log(import.meta.env.VITE_FIREBASE_API_KEY);
// Verify Firebase project settings
// Ensure authentication providers are enabled
// Check browser network tab for model loading
// Clear browser cache if models fail to load
// Verify HTTPS in production (required for camera access)
