[firebase-core]: Unable to Initialize Firebase App

Hello Team,
Can you assist with the error below, when trying to initialize the firebase app from the firebase-core?
Here is how I am initializing it

export class AppComponent implements OnInit {

    ngOnInit(): void {
        firebase().initializeApp().then((app) => {
            console.log(app);
        })
    }

}

Here is the error that shows up

Comienza reproduciendo la inicialización de src/app/app.component.ts e inspecciona la ruta fallida de Firebase.initializeApp en node_modules/@nativescript/firebase-core/index.android.js, especialmente el acceso a FirebaseApp indicado. Comprueba la configuración de NativeScript y Firebase del proyecto antes de rastrear el fallo específico de Android. Se considera terminado cuando la aplicación se inicializa correctamente sin el error indicado de undefined FirebaseApp.
