• Firebase Component: com.google.gms.google-services (Database, Firestore, Storage, Functions, etc)
• Component version: 4.3.10

[REQUIRED] Step 3: Describe the problem

I upgraded com.google.gms.google-services from 4.3.5 to 4.3.10, and now my release build crashes on startup with the following:

2022-04-28 12:07:11.456 13536-13536/? W/FirebaseApp: Default FirebaseApp failed to initialize because no default options were found. This usually means that com.google.gms:google-services was not applied to your gradle project.

This looks very similar to https://github.com/firebase/firebase-android-sdk/issues/2894

Steps to reproduce:

Upgraded com.android.library and com.android.application from 7.1.0 to 7.1.3 and com.google.gms.google-services from 4.3.5 to 43.10. Then run a bundleRelease task.

Thanks! I filed https://github.com/google/play-services-plugins/issues/225

For others that find this: I can see my google-services.json client/api_key/current_key in my .apk file, but not in my .aab file. More details are in the linked issue.

With these details, it looks like the main issue not with Firebase but rather with the google-services.json. Could you file an issue on this repo? You can continue your report there, and they’ll be able to assist you better. That being said, I’ll be closing this issue now. Thanks!
