Error when using Firebase Auth Emulator with Flutter

Question

I'm getting this error when trying to use Google Sign-in with Firebase Emulators

[ERROR:flutter/runtime/dart_vm_initializer.cc(41)] Unhandled Exception: [firebase_auth/unknown] An internal error has occurred. [ The Auth Emulator only support sign-in with google.com using id_token, not access_token. Please update your code to use id_token.

My sign-in code is copied almost verbatim from Firebase docs

import 'package:firebase_auth/firebase_auth.dart';
import 'package:google_sign_in/google_sign_in.dart';

Future<UserCredential> signInWithGoogle() async {
  // Trigger the authentication flow
  final GoogleSignInAccount? googleUser = await GoogleSignIn().signIn();

  // Obtain the auth details from the request
  final GoogleSignInAuthentication? googleAuth = await googleUser?.authentication;

  // Create a new credential
  final credential = GoogleAuthProvider.credential(
    accessToken: googleAuth?.accessToken,
    idToken: googleAuth?.idToken,
  );

  // Once signed in, return the UserCredential
  return await FirebaseAuth.instance.signInWithCredential(credential);
}

This only shows up when hooked up to Emulator suite and not when using real Firebase instance.

Is there a workaround or fix?

The Firebase integration was initialized using FlutterFire CLI

Answer 1

• Put google-services.json on android/app
• On android/build.gradle add on dependencies:

dependencies {
  classpath 'com.google.gms:google-services:4.3.15'
  ...
}

• On android/app/build.gradle add before android:

apply plugin: 'com.google.gms.google-services'
    
android {
  ...

Answer 2

1. first off all check the json file in your android/app/google-services.json

2. clarify in firebase account google signing enabled or not?

3. lastly change the ssh in your firebase console

try this -

./gradlew signingReport 

make sure run the particular command on android directory
