## TL;DR

If web downloads fail with CORS errors while mobile works, apply a CORS config to the bucket: create a cors.json listing your origins and methods, then run gsutil cors set cors.json against the bucket.

## Steps

1. If web downloads fail with CORS errors while mobile works, apply a CORS config to the bucket: create a cors.json listing your origins and methods, then run gsutil cors set cors.json against the bucket. Include the upload-specific response headers when the app also uploads from the browser. Verify with gsutil cors get afterward.

## When to use

You are seeing this: Include the upload-specific response headers when the app also uploads from the browser. Use this skill when you run into "Firebase Storage web downloads need bucket CORS config; mobile does not".

## When not to use

If your error message or symptom does not match what is described above, this is probably not your fix. Search for your exact error text instead of forcing this one to fit.

## Versions

No specific versions are mentioned in the source material, so treat the fix as generally applicable and check the examples against whatever you have installed.

## Why this happens

The original report does not dig into a root cause. It documents the symptom and the fix that resolved it.
