Deploys and manages full-stack web applications (Next.js, Angular) with Server-Side Rendering (SSR) using Firebase App Hosting. Use when deploying Next.js/Angular apps, configuring apphosting.yaml or firebase.json apphosting blocks, managing secrets, setting up GitHub CI/CD, or configuring Blaze billing requirements. Don't use for classic static web hosting, Auth, Firestore, Crashlytics, or Xcode.

## From README

App Hosting Basics Description This skill enables the agent to deploy and manage modern, full-stack web applications (Next.js, Angular, etc.) using Firebase App Hosting. Important: In order to use App Hosting, your Firebase project must be on the Blaze pricing plan. Direct the user to https://console.firebase.google.com/project//overview?purchaseBillingPlan=metered to upgrade their plan. Hosting vs App Hosting Choose Firebase Hosting if: You are deploying a static site (HTML/CSS/JS). You are deploying a simple SPA (React, Vue, etc. without SSR). You want full control over the build and deploy process via CLI. Choose Firebase App Hosting if: You are using a supported full-stack framework like Next.js or Angular. You need Server-Side Rendering (SSR) or ISR. You want an automated "git push to deploy" workflow with zero configuration. Deploying to App Hosting Deploy from Source This is the recommended flow for most users. Configure firebase.json with an apphosting block.
