Answer 2

Please try the App with new google credentials or even try creating the whole peoject on console og google play services if you have used it .

Answer 3

Here is my take towards this problem:

1. You may be using a single email to try and log in to google. It may be possible you might have changed the password of the particular email in the recent past. Make sure u remove your google-email from your phone/emulator. When u re-run your application, you will be asked to enter both email and password credentials.

2. Check if your credentials.json is still valid. Sometimes its possible that your client ID might be removed/corrupted if you have not used your android application for a long time. Make a new one and dont forget to copy-paste it in app folder of Android Project view.

I had the same issue what helped me was that I had wrong credentials in my google-services.json file and after getting a new file my problem was fixed.

in the process of resolving this issue I also updated my google play services but I do not think this is necessary .

Answer 5

In my case it was a dependency version problem. I had to update the auth dependency for firebase to the latest one: implementation 'com.google.firebase:firebase-auth:17.0.0'

Mostly your token has gone bad. And needs a new one. Go to project database > settings > General > download Json file and replace it with the one in the local project directory.
