Thanks again for bringing it to my attention I've just added in another crucial step and sorry I missed it earlier. Please see step 4 and create an OAuth Client ID. It might work locally after that and updating your manifest file? I haven't tried without uploading to the Chrome web store yet and yes to get the public key you will need to upload it there, even in testing mode it will give you a public key.

Also for Firebase you would need the extension ID which you get by uploading to the Chrome web store, it doesn't have to be published yet, it will work in testing mode. Please let me know if you're still having issues I'll update the guide accordingly.
