Android - Download a zip file from Firebase Storage

I've implemented a button which should allow me to download a zip file from Firebase Storage.

This is my code

FirebaseStorage storage = FirebaseStorage.getInstance();
final StorageReference storageRef = storage.getReference();

.buttonCtaClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
                    @Override
                    public void onClick(View v) {
                        //download stuff
                        try {
                            File imageFile = File.createTempFile("Chords_Images", "zip");

                            storageRef.getFile(imageFile).addOnSuccessListener(new OnSuccessListener<FileDownloadTask.TaskSnapshot>() {
                                @Override
                                public void onSuccess(FileDownloadTask.TaskSnapshot taskSnapshot) {
                                    Toast.makeText(SplashActivity.this, "file created", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
                                    //TODO: download audio
                                    startApp();
                                }
                            }).addOnFailureListener(new OnFailureListener() {
                                @Override
                                public void onFailure(@NonNull Exception e) {
                                    Toast.makeText(SplashActivity.this, "An error accoured", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
                                }
                            });
                        } catch (IOException e) {e.printStackTrace();}
                    }
                })

The problem is that it always fails and calls the FailureListener how can this happen?

this is the stacktrace of the Exception:

error getting token java.util.concurrent.ExecutionException: com.google.firebase.FirebaseApiNotAvailableException: firebase-auth is not linked, please fall back to unauthenticated mode. 07-22 11:33:57.991 4272-4417/com.dancam.chords E/StorageException: StorageException has occurred. User does not have permission to access this object

This is my firebase storage rules

service firebase.storage {
  match /b/chords-d1534.appspot.com/o {
    match /{allPaths=**} {
      allow read: if true; //if request.auth != null;
    }
  }
}

You are downloading the file in a wrong way. Your reference to a file should be:

FirebaseStorage storage = FirebaseStorage.getInstance();
final StorageReference storageRef = storage.getReference();
final StorageReference imageRef = storageRef.child("path/to/file.zip");

And use it:

imageRef.getFile(imageFile).addOnSuccess...

If it did not fix the problem, let's take a look at the error message.

com.google.firebase.FirebaseApiNotAvailableException: firebase-auth is not linked, please fall back to unauthenticated mode. 07-22 11:33:57.991 4272-4417/com.dancam.chords

Try linking the firebase-auth library (add this into your app-level build.gradle):

compile 'com.google.firebase:firebase-auth:11.0.2'
