The app fails to run as expected

[dailystudio]

I followed the steps outlined in the README.md:

1. Cloned the repository
2. Opened it in Android Studio
3. Set up a Firebase project and downloaded the google-services.json file
4. Enabled the Vertex AI API

At this point, the app compiled successfully. However, when I tried to run it, I encountered the following error:
com.google.firebase.ai.type.ServerException: Firebase AI Logic is missing a configured Gemini Developer API key.

Upon inspecting FirebaseAiDataSource.kt at line 253, I found the following code:

val model = Firebase.ai(backend = GenerativeBackend.googleAI()).generativeModel(
    modelName = remoteConfigDataSource.getImageGenerationEditsModelName(),
    generationConfig = generationConfig {
        responseModalities = listOf(
            ResponseModality.TEXT,
            ResponseModality.IMAGE,
        )
    },
)

Since this uses the Google Developer API, I updated it to use the vertexAI() backend instead. Unfortunately, the error persisted. As a next step, I enabled the Gemini Developer API in the Firebase console:

5. Enabled the Gemini Developer API in the Firebase project

After doing so, I attempted to run the app again, but it failed with a different error message:
com.google.firebase.ai.type.ServerException: models/androidify is not found for API version v1main, or is not supported for generateContent. Call ListModels to see the list of available models and their supported methods.

I suspect this is due to the fact that the models/androidify model is not available in my Vertex AI model registry.

Could you help me determine what additional steps are required to run the app successfully?
