This question is related to #5472 and #5442, but I didn't want to answer a question with another question.

I am currently trying to add app check to my React Typescript application. I followed the web appCheck and appCheck debug provider documentation to set up app check for my app. When I try to work on my debug environment (localhost) I however keep receiving a 403 Forbidden error message.

System information

OS: Ubuntu 20.04
Node: v14.17.5
Firebase sdk: v9.0.2

Steps to reproduce my problem.

Register your site with reCAPTCHAv3 and add the private site key to the App Check section of the firebase project settings.
Added the code below, after the initializeApp statement, in the typescript file where you set up firebase.

import { initializeAppCheck, ReCaptchaV3Provider } from "fire

if (process.env.REACT_APP_APP_CHECK_SITE_KEY) {
  initializeAppCheck(firebaseApp, {
    provider: new ReCaptchaV3Provider(process.env.REACT_APP_APP_CHECK_SITE_KEY),
    isTokenAutoRefreshEnabled: true,
  });
}

Add your ReCAPTCHAv3 public site key as a REACT_APP_APP_CHECK_SITE_KEY environment variable.
Enable the app check debug key by adding the following code to the head of your projects index.html file:

<head>
    <script>
      if ("%NODE_ENV%" === "development") {
        self.FIREBASE_APPCHECK_DEBUG_TOKEN =
          "%REACT_APP_APP_CHECK_DEBUG_TOKEN%";
      }
    </script>
</head>

Generate a debug token using the app check section of the project settings page.
Add this debug token to the REACT_APP_APP_CHECK_DEBUG_TOKEN environment variable.

I made sure that all the env variables contain the correct tokens.

I solved the 403 bug by adding the Firebase App Check API to the API restrictions field of the Browser key (auto created by Firebase) credential in the google cloud platform.
