BiChannelGoogleApi: [FirebaseAuth: ] getGoogleApiForMethod() returned Gms: com.google.firebase.auth.api.internal.zzaq

One weird exception where Google doesn't show whats wrong with our code or process. I faced same exception and I scratched my head all day long to fix this issue and finally I fixed it. I'm using phone based Authentication of Firebase.

Step 1: Enable Firebase logging to see behind whats happening behind the scene. Add following code in your Main activity class where you are performing authentication.

FirebaseDatabase firebaseDatabase = FirebaseDatabase.getInstance();
firebaseDatabase.setLogLevel(Logger.Level.DEBUG);
  

Step 2: Now you will get the actual error why its not working. In my case I got following exception.

com.example W/System.err: com.google.firebase.auth.FirebaseAuthException: This app is not authorized to use Firebase Authentication. Please verify that the correct package name and SHA-1 are configured in the Firebase Console. [ App validation failed ]
com.example W/System.err:     at com.google.firebase.auth.api.internal.zzeh.zza(com.google.firebase:firebase-auth@@19.3.1:37)
com.example W/System.err:     at com.google.firebase.auth.api.internal.zzfj.zza(com.google.firebase:firebase-auth@@19.3.1:3)

com.example E/"TAG": onComplete: Failed=This app is not authorized to use Firebase Authentication. Please verify that the correct package name and SHA-1 are configured in the Firebase Console. [ App validation failed ]
  

That's it my exception is no longer there.
