Out of the blue, i received a message that i still needed to verify my domain ownership — odd, because two weeks prior i thought i had covered my Firebase custom domain verification.
I double-checked i followed the Google instructions verbatim, going so far as deleting and re-entering the records, yet after a few hours, still no luck.
Enter doing the tried-and-true thing of Googling, but really hitting up good ol’ StackOverflow. It was suggested and deemed true by other members that this works with Namecheap BasicDNS:
1) For the TXT record with google-site-verification, change the Host value from "yourdomain.com" to "@";
2) Additionally, create a CNAME record with Host value of "www" and Value with a value of "yourdomain.com". After about 10 minutes, i tried verification again, and voila it worked!
Screenshot below referencing what i mean above.
I love Firebase. But Firebase custom domain verification documentation, especially for Namecheap DNS, needs some work — and i want this to be an adequate appendage. If you have any other things to add, please comment below or drop me a line.
Cheers.

Grande man! Estuve varias horas buscando solución.
This worked like a charm, the official docs are not good enough.
I’m glad it was helpful!
How would this work if I wanted my Firebase app on a subdomain rather than the main domain?
I never got a notification for this comment. I hope 3 months ago you were able to figure out how to get it to work!
Thanks man, it works!! I was trying to figure out how to do this for a couple of days.
I’m glad to help! It was frustrating, and I was sure I wasn’t the only one hitting my head against the wall over it. Cheers.
