(VB.NET UWP/WinRT) Get Firebase Access Token from JSON Service Account Private Key

Demonstrates how to get a Firebase access token using a JSON service account private key. Your Firebase service account can be used to authenticate multiple Firebase features, such as Database, Storage and Auth, programmatically.

A Firebase JSON service account private key can be created in the Firebase settings/admin portion of the console.firebase.google.com site as shown here:

' This example requires the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
' See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

' First load the Firebase JSON private key into a string.
Dim fac As New Chilkat.FileAccess
Dim jsonKey As String = fac.ReadEntireTextFile("qa_data/firebase/firebase-chilkat-firebase-adminsdk-n28n4-1b664ee163.json","utf-8")
If (fac.LastMethodSuccess <> True) Then
    Debug.WriteLine(fac.LastErrorText)
    Exit Sub
End If


' A Firebase JSON private key should look something like this:

' { 
'   "type": "service_account",
'   "project_id": "firebase-chilkat",
'   "private_key_id": "1c664ee164907413c91ddefcf5b765ecba8779e2",
'   "private_key": "-----BEGIN PRIVATE KEY-----\nMIIEvQIBA ... Ya2UZii/lXn73/ZOK8=\n-----END PRIVATE KEY-----\n",

'   "client_id": "134846322329335418431",
'   "auth_uri": "https://accounts.google.com/o/oauth2/auth",

' Choose a scope.
' The scope could be "https://www.googleapis.com/auth/firebase.database"

' through proxies or an SSH tunnel if desired.
