Can't upload image to firebase storage

Question

I am trying to read an image and upload it to firebase storage. The file makes it into storage but when I actually go click on it in the console, I can't view it. There are no failures and the size of the image looks correct in storage. Any ideas?

        val ins = FileInputStream("/Users/jason/demo/src/main/kotlin/com/tandem/store/test.jpeg")
        val client = StorageClient.getInstance(app)
        val s = client.bucket()
        val blobString = "test3/" + "test.jpeg"
        s.create(blobString, ins, "image/jpeg", Bucket.BlobWriteOption.userProject("quick23hire-43424"));

Answer 1

The Firebase console is known to be unable to show previews of images that were uploaded outside of a web or mobile app. If you can upload and download the file fine, don't worry about the preview.
