Firebase – UPDATE: Firebase Console incorrectly lists custom domain status as “pending” even after completion

Incident began at 2024-11-21 00:00 (all times are US/Pacific).

The App Hosting console is reporting that custom domains are in a pending state, even though they’re not. This is caused by a communication failure inside our systems that we’re working to fix. The information in the console will be correct as soon as we can correct it. The domains are working fine; this should have no impact on end users.
