File google-services.json is missing

I have the following error after downloading the project and tried to run it. Anyone else having the same issue?

File google-services.json is missing. The Google Services Plugin cannot function without it.

Hey @kittlsk
You need to add your own google-services.json from your firebase console.
Here are the instructions on how to Add Firebase to your Android project.

Thansk @yadavmangesh for your reply. I followed the instructions and added google-services.json to my android project. I used "com.inscripts.cometchatpulse.demo" as the android package name as stated from the build.gradle. It managed to load the first screen via Android simulator and after I selected any of the superhero id, the following prompted.
