my workaround:

 <application
        ....
        android:supportsRtl="true"
        tools:replace="android:supportsRtl"

Using tools:replace="android:supportsRtl" in your own layout (as @alexodus suggested) is the correct solution. At this time we have only tested FirebaseUI with LTR languages so we use the supportsRtl=false property to indicate that to end developers.

If we translate into RTL languages in the future we will change the flag.
