Android Firebase Dynamic Links setup - SHA-1 not recognized

Question

i am trying to setup my android app to use firebase dynamic links and am experiencing a problem in setting it up in the firebase console.

i had previously added my app to my firebase project to use the realtime database and it works with no isssues. i included the app's debug SHA-1 (which i obtained from the app-debug.apk).

now in the firebase dynamic links console screen, i can select my app from the drop-down list but it shows a warning in red "Please add SHA-1 for this Android app".

i even deleted the app from my firebase project and then added it again, also including the SHA-1 but i still get the red warning in the dynamic links console page when i select the app.

i'd appreciate any help in sorting this problem out (so that it recognizes the SHA-1).

note: i have 2 other apps which are included in my firebase project. one has a SHA-1 include and the other not. if i select these apps in the dynamic links console screen, the one with the SHA-1 selects with no warning message and the one without a SHA-1 displays (as expected) the warning message.

thanks

You need to add the SHA1 and SHA256 from your production certificate to firebase console

• Log into firebase console
• Select your firebase project, click on Configuration
• Find your Android App, then go to SHA certificate fingerprints and add both the SHA1 and SHA256 fingerprints for your production certificate.

To obtain the SHA1 and SHA256:

keytool -list -v -keystore your_release_certificate.jks

You should also add your debug SHA1 certificate, go to your project folder and execute

./gradlew signingReport

your debug SHA1 (and all of them) will look like this:

8B:5F:27:7C:A6:59:9A:7C:BB:EF:2F:8B:17:A2:F6:1D:31:3B:73:E6

well, after doing NOTHING but trying again about 12 hours later, it's accepting the SHA-1. so i seems like firebase needs some time to process adding the SHA-1. IT WOULD BE NICE IF THEY INDICATED THAT WITH THEIR RED WARNING OF "Please add SHA-1 for this Android app". so annoying!
