I couldn't figure out how to label this issue, so I've labeled it for a human to triage. Hang tight.

[argzdev]

Thanks for reaching out, @ShivamGoyal1899. I've notified our engineers regarding the issue. We'll keep you posted once we get updates.

[shyvum]

@9468lgy This is a different issue and is tracked in #5266

@9468lgy This is a different issue and is tracked in #5266

Ok，thanks

[argzdev]

Hi folks, a new version of Firebase Auth has been released. That said could you try the latest version 22.1.2 and see if the issue still persists? Thanks!

[UKMIITB]

@argzdev When would this version come as part of firebase BOM ?
Currently we are using BOM, will there be any compatibility issue if BOM 32.3.1 is used but for auth we use 22.1.2 ?

[argzdev]

@UKMIITB, the Firebase BoM version 32.3.1 already have the latest version of Firebase Auth 22.1.2. There shouldn't be any issues using either option (BoM or auth)

[UKMIITB]

@argzdev
Noted. Have updated the version. Will update here once after rollout is increased to a significant number

Hey @ShivamGoyal1899. We need more information to resolve this issue but there hasn't been an update in 5 weekdays. I'm marking the issue as stale and if there are no new updates in the next 5 days I will close it automatically.

If you have more information that will help us get to the bottom of this, just add a comment!

[shyvum]

Public Build with the fix went live yesterday. We are still monitoring the fix if it's working.

Will update here once after rollout is increased to a significant number.

[argzdev]

Got it, let's keep this open for now for monitoring. Thanks folks!

[argzdev]

Hi all, I'm assuming that the issue has been fixed, since it's been 2 weeks or so. Let me know if the issue is still present in the latest version. Thanks!

Hi,

FirebaseUI issue with SafetyNet API (firebase/FirebaseUI-Android#2133) has keeped #5148 open as mentioned at #5148 (comment), but it has been migrated here and seems lost update.

Just an update, our engineers are already working to updating the firebase/FirebaseUI-Android#2133. We can wait for the latest version release, and see if that fixes the issue. I'll leave this open for now.

@argzdev Do you know any update? Thanks in advance.

[argzdev]

Hi @takashi8, it looks like the issue with FirebaseUI with SafetyNet API that requires BoM update already has a committed PR in another branch (version-8.1.0-dev). Let me ask our engineer to see if when we'll get this merged to the main branch.
