docs: the documented install and upgrade commands do not work with 21.0.0-rc.1 #3764

Description

@armando-navarro

With 21.0.0-rc.1 on npm next and Angular 22 on npm latest, the commands in the Quickstart and the v21 upgrade guide no longer get anyone to a working app.

What I found

  • The upgrade guide's first command fails:
    • ng update @angular/core @angular/cli targets Angular 22, and the CLI refuses the two-major jump from Angular 20: "Updating multiple major versions of '@angular/core' at once is not supported."
  • The upgrade guide's second command does nothing:
    • ng update @angular/fire reports "Package '@angular/fire' is already up to date", because latest is still 20.1.0.
  • The Quickstart cannot reach a working app at all:
    • Step 1 creates a project on the newest Angular, which is 22, and step 2 then installs AngularFire from latest.
    • Neither @angular/fire nor @angular/fire@next resolves against Angular 22.
  • Setup stops on firebase-tools 15:
  • Thirteen pages repeat the same install command:
    • The Quickstart and twelve per-product pages each carry their own ng add @angular/fire, so every version change has to be made in thirteen places.

Scope

Documentation only. The firebase-tools 15 crash will go in its own issue/PR.
