firebase get token authentication failed first run

[REQUIRED] Step 2: Describe your environment

• Android Studio version: Android Studio Arctic Fox | 2020.3.1 Patch 2 Build #AI-203.7717.56.2031.7678000, built on August 27, 2021

  implementation platform(‘com.google.firebase:firebase-bom:28.4.2’) implementation ‘com.google.firebase:firebase-messaging’ implementation ‘com.google.firebase:firebase-analytics’

[REQUIRED] Step 3: Describe the problem

Steps to reproduce:

I can only replicate this in every fresh install app by wiping the data and then run app. works fine when uninstalling then run app and subsequent runs.

throws Topic sync or token retrieval failed on hard failure exceptions: AUTHENTICATION_FAILED. Won’t retry the operation.

Relevant Code:

public class StobyFirebaseMessagingService extends FirebaseMessagingService
{ ... }

// MainActivity - getting the token
FirebaseMessaging.getInstance().getToken()
                .addOnCompleteListener(new OnCompleteListener<String>() {
                    @Override
                    public void onComplete(@NonNull Task<String> task) {
                    ....
                    }
});

// for workaround - I invoke the above token snippet twice in different Fragment

It should happen soon after the device has network connectivity. The emulator is an unusual case because it just starts immediately on first start/after a data wipe. Real devices go through the setup process, which usually allows enough time for the device to register before the user has a chance to do anything else or install apps, so it’s rare for an app to encounter this. Note that it’s possible that a device fails to register for some reason, so your app should always be able to handle the AUTHENTICATION_FAILED case gracefully, but in general you shouldn’t expect this to be a common case.

When you mention wiping data, is this on an emulator? AUTHENTICATION_FAILED generally indicates a problem with the device’s authentication and could happen if you are trying to get a token before the device has finished setting up/registering. Could you try waiting a few minutes after wiping the emulator before trying to get the token and seeing if you still get AUTHENTICATION_FAILED?

Seems working as you said(need around 2-3mins), In what lifecycle the device will finish setting up/registering/uploading info? I want to hook up after registering and get token.
