firebase deploy fails due to outdated api

file: /functions/index.js:81

remove the argument to the initializeApp() call, and it's fixed.

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/46504659/firebase-admin-invalid-app-options-error-at-initializeapp

TypeError: Cannot read property 'appname' of undefined

When install follow guideline I have issues when run npm start like as this picture :

I followed the steps listed in the medium article, but when I run 'npm start' for this portion of the guide, I get the following:
