Description

### Version info

**Angular:** 18.0.3

**Firebase:** ??

**AngularFire:** 18.0.1

**Other (e.g. Ionic/Cordova, Node, browser, operating system):**

### How to reproduce these conditions

**Failing test unit, Stackblitz demonstrating the problem**

This involves running the schematics, so stackblitz doesn't help.

**Steps to set up and reproduce**

Follow the steps in [these docs](https://github.com/angular/angularfire/blob/master/docs/install-and-setup.md). I.e.:

1. `ng new the-project`, choose default options
2. `cd the-project`
3. `ng add @angular/fire` choose Performance Monitoring (I don't want any of them actually. I only want to deploy. But I had even worse luck if I chose nothing - so this is a semi-random choice.)
- At this point the doc says it should have created a `.firebaserc` file updated `angular.json`, but neither of these are true
4. `ng deploy`
- Here it asks me what to use to deploy. I choose "Firebase" and it simply loops me through the setup steps again, never deploying.

**Sample data and security rules**

### Debug output

** Errors in the JavaScript console **
None

** Output from `firebase.database().enableLogging(true);` **
I'm not running the app, so I don't think this applies.

** Screenshots **
None

### Expected behavior

I can use schematics to set up firebase hosting.

### Actual behavior

Schematics do not set up firebase hosting. Instead every time I try to deploy it loops me back through the setup process.

Research direction

Start by reading docs/install-and-setup.md and reproducing the sequence with `ng add @angular/fire` followed by `ng deploy`. Compare the expected `.firebaserc` and `angular.json` setup with the reported result; done means Firebase hosting is configured and `ng deploy` proceeds without repeating setup.
