I was facing this similar issue because incorrect google-services.json was read by firebase plugin. That was because I had two json configs added to each testing and production environment folders. Simply by removing these json files and adding one google-service.json file at the root of the project which includes config information for both environments with a clean build helped in resolving the issue. Have a look at this link on how content is available in these configs files.

Also see if any proxy is running while debugging causing this issue too. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/55278120/android-firebase-crashlytics-failed-to-retrieve-settings

I had the same problem with the last version of the android studio and firebase SDK. I reported the problem to the firebase team and they said check problem and respond to me in this week! even I created an empty project and the result was the same!
