How to add app-ads.txt to angular localized project on Firebase hosting

Question

I added app-ads.txt to src folder of my project.

In angular.json added "src/app-ads.txt" to "assets", that is:

"assets": [
    ....
    "src/app-ads.txt"             
 ],
 ...

Next step, I deploy the project to Firebase hosting:

1. npm install -g firebase-tools
2. firebase login
3. firebase init
4. during init wrote the "dist"
5. ng build --prod --localize
6. firebase deploy

After command number 5 in dist folder has 5 localized projects ().

If open any folder inside has an app-ads.txt file ().

But after deploying the file is missing.

How to fix it?

I was able to get it to work with a similar setup. Double check you firebase.json rules. Here's what mine looks like,

{
  "hosting": {
      "public": "dist/{yourapp}",
      "ignore": [
          "firebase.json",
          "**/.*",
          "**/node_modules/**"
      ],
      "rewrites": [{
          "source": "**",
          "destination": "/index.html"
      }]
  }
}
