Obfuscation is not secure, it wont protect against attackers who are even somewhat good
Try using a secret manager
simple, don't give your private keys to your users
What type of app are you building?

that's like asking "what kind of boat are you building" and you answer "a boat"
I'm assuming you mean a desktop app. You can't secure the json identity, so likely you'd want to host he json identity on some web application, i.e. a web api for instance. From there, you can create a custom auth provider for firebase which sort of works in c# firebase libraries, but requires some additional custom code outside the firebase libraries ( this information is a couple years old ). It's really hard to find information about this, but I've got some old code lying about I can dig up, if this is your scenario.
