Late but might be helpful to others.

I tried everthing here, at last I got it working by making sure following steps,

Rule: App's SHA-1 should be registerd in Google Developer Console with the API keys used.

1. Look for the SHA-1 you are using (debug or release). You can do it by going to android studio > Gradle form side bar > Tasks > android > signingReport. Double click on it to run. Once it runs, you will be able to find out SHA-1 for your variant. (In my case, I was trying to make it run for release variant). Keep that SHA-1 aside we will check for its existance on Google Developers Console.

2. Now head over to https://console.cloud.google.com/apis/credentials, In your selected project > Credentials, Find API key that is used, Click on it to go into details, Find Restrict usage to your Android apps, see if the SHA-1 is registed there along with your package name.

If you do not find the same SHA-1 that you had in your project, then you can click on Add an Item to add the app. Pass package name and SHA-1 and submit.

Try again to connect firebase APIs after 5-10 mins.
