Adding custom hosting domain: "Unexpected TXT records found. Continuing to watch for changes."

I'm attempting to add a custom domain to firebase hosting.

Added the TXT records as instructed, and I get this message in the firebase dashboard:

"Unexpected TXT records found. Continuing to watch for changes."

There is one additional TXT record in my DNS settings, but I can't remove it. I don't see how it would get in the way of firebase's verification of my domain either.

I'm using Namecheap if that helps.

Thanks in advance!

On namecheap what worked was changing my host field to '@' rather than the host provided on firebase help.

Next step was to wait for an SSL

I had to make sure that for the host field, it was set to '@', and not my actual host name.

I'm told this varies from registrar to registrar. Some require '@' for the host field if it's for the root domain, and others do not.

Hope this helps someone.

If you've updated your TXT records in your DNS settings as per the instructions, then it just a matter of time for firebase to detect the changes. Normally upto 48 hours. This message is normal though, if there is a real problem then you will be able to see an error message after the 48 hours.
