This timeout issue happens when you try to run Firebase emulators locally. Assuming you’ve run firebase init and installed the emulators as soon as you run firebase emulators:start you might get an output similar to this one:
emulators: Support for Java version <= 10 will be dropped soon in firebase-tools@11. Please upgrade to Java version 11 or above to continue using the emulators. i emulators: Starting emulators: functions, firestore ⚠ functions: The following emulators are not running, calls to these services from the Functions emulator will affect production: auth, database, hosting, pubsub, storage ✔ functions: Using node@17 from host. i firestore: Firestore Emulator logging to firestore-debug.log i emulators: Shutting down emulators. i functions: Stopping Functions Emulator i firestore: Stopping Firestore Emulator i hub: Stopping emulator hubError: TIMEOUT: Port 8080 on localhost was not active within 60000ms
If you wait long enough and are a bit more patient than I am, you’ll get the actual error — the timeout.
