Firebase AUTHENTICATION_FAILED on some devices #1286

jehadmashhour · 2020-02-27T08:21:22Z

I use the Firebase remote config SDK , i have noted that on some devices (nearly 15 users) that the Firebase SDKs not working .

The error message is : Failed to get Firebase Instance ID token for fetch

The log shows the following error :

com.google.firebase.remoteconfig.FirebaseRemoteConfigClientException: Failed to get Firebase Instance ID token for fetch. at c.i.c.r.a.m.a(com.google.firebase:firebase-config@@19.1.1:30) at c.i.c.r.a.j.then(Unknown Source:4) at com.google.android.gms.tasks.zzf.run(Unknown Source:3) at java.util.concurrent.ThreadPoolExecutor.runWorker(ThreadPoolExecutor.java:1162) at java.util.concurrent.ThreadPoolExecutor$Worker.run(ThreadPoolExecutor.java:636) at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:784)

Notes :

Some of devices have the same issue -> Huawei DUB-LX1 , HUAWEI JKM-LX1 , Samsung SM-A750F , Samsung SM-J700H

Let me know if you need my google api key .

I found a few problems with this issue:

I couldn't figure out how to label this issue, so I've labeled it for a human to triage. Hang tight.
This issue does not seem to follow the issue template. Make sure you provide all the required information.

Hi @jehadmashhour , it would be better if you can report this issue by filing a Firebase Support ticket https://firebase.google.com/support, from there it will be easier for you to share your account information and credentials

jaanmurumets-sk · 2020-03-06T19:34:47Z

We have reported issue to google https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/143413382 and there is acknowledge by Google of problem:

"We got information from Firebase support that this AUTHENTICATION_FAILED error is caused by GPS (Google Play Services) but fix date is not clear yet."

pnehren · 2020-03-09T12:45:36Z

We are also affected with a custom device without Play Services.

I'm still seeing the AUTHENTICATION_FAILED failure on a Samsung S8 device using the latest google play api's according to the release notes:

ckurban · 2020-03-23T12:10:33Z

Any update in this issue as we are facing the failure in our solution?

jehadmashhour · 2020-03-23T12:26:31Z

I'm still having the same issue , a one user who has the same issue said to me that he did reset device factory and the firebase issue is resolved !! , incredible .

Please any help , we think the issue is related to the users devices , but we don't know exactly what is the reason .

pnehren · 2020-03-23T12:30:25Z

I think that they stopped supporting devices with no or old versions of play services...on my device without play services firebase-config stopped working with versions higher 19.1.0. Devices with play services or emulators have no problems...

Sad that there is no information about that.

jehadmashhour · 2020-03-23T12:40:24Z

I was think that , but after adding some logs to check the google play services is installed or not , and what is the version , I have noticed that these devices also have the same issue with the latest version.

In addition , I have contacted a user who have the same issue and he said that his device has the latest google play services , but no avail .

Why the issue is resolved by doing reset device factory !!!!

Any update in this issue as we are facing the failure in our solution?

arbutler · 2020-04-03T13:32:51Z

Tried downgrading the libraries in my app build.gradle as suggested here and token retrieval in the app succeeded on a Samsung S8 device for one attempt:

build.gradle (app level)
dependencies {
...
implementation 'com.google.firebase:firebase-iid:20.0.2'
implementation 'com.google.firebase:firebase-messaging:20.1.0'
...
}

After re-installing the app, I'm seeing the AUTHENTICATION_FAILED failure again which I reported previously. After seeing the failure on firebase-messaging:20.1.0 I retried with the latest versions of these APIs here and found that token retrieval succeeded for one attempt and then again I'm seeing the AUTHENTICATION_FAILED failure which I reported previously.

pablo-leite-playkids · 2020-04-15T19:36:29Z

I'm facing the same issue here. (Google Pixel 1st Gen. Android 10)
It fails on the first run of the app, but succeeds on other runs.

Gradle dependencies:
implementation 'com.google.firebase:firebase-messaging:20.1.5'

downgrading to
implementation 'com.google.firebase:firebase-messaging:20.1.0'
Seems to fix the problem.

seemacalibrecode · 2020-04-27T11:27:00Z

Hi,

We are facing similar issues on our App and this is blocking usage of App on many recent devices, including Google Pixel with latest version of Google play services on it

Appreciate if we could have an ETA on this fix

Best Regards,
Seema

thameurr · 2020-04-27T14:54:02Z

any update ?

andirayo · 2020-04-28T08:04:56Z

A few of the errors reported in this issue, particularly @pablo-leite-playkids, might be related to a new Firebase infrastructure service which was introduced in FirebaseMessaging v20.1.1.

Firebase Android SDK updates on February 27 (M65) and afterwards introduced the Firebase Installations SDK which comes with a dependency on the Firebase Installations API.
Firebase Installations requires valid Firebase options API key, project ID, and application ID (a.k.a. "appId") in order to successfully communicate with Firebase servers.

Errors during communication with the Firebase Installations API indicate invalid Firebase options or misconfigurations regarding the API key used in your application.

Only those end-users are affected that installed your application after an update to the latest versions of Firebase SDKs, which might explain why only some devices are affected.

To mitigate the issue

make sure that your application is using valid Firebase options from the latest google-services.json file from your Firebase console:
Firebase options: instructions and background.
If you use API restrictions, make sure that the API key used by your application is white-listed for the Firebase Installations API (and for your application):
API restrictions: instructions and background
Regarding Application restrictions: Either set the radio button to None or make sure that your app is white-listed (with the correct SHA-1 certificate).

Just for clarification

Most of the errors reported in this issue are probably not related to the new infrastructure FirebaseInstallations. The reason is that the SDK versions reported in some of the stack-traces (e.g. firebase-iid@@20.0.2:7, firebase-messaging:20.1.0) do not use FirebaseInstallations and thus this issues definitely also exists separately.

andirayo · 2020-05-21T17:48:04Z

Closing this since there was no more update for over 3 weeks.
Please feel free to reopen if this issue persists for you!

celesteking · 2020-08-03T19:11:51Z

Guys, I don't know what you were smoking there, but this really should be fixed. I'm a newbie learning flutter and went through your official guide which links to https://firebase.google.com/docs/flutter/setup?platform=android . The example shown in the latter guide produces that very error. After going through several versions of cloud_firestore: and classpath 'com.google.gms:google-services:4.3.3', I have managed to make it work.

Imagine someone not as persistent as me, they would've dumped both flutter and firebase had they encountered such an obstacle. And that's a "START UP" guide, not some advanced tech config manual.

stari4ek · 2020-08-22T11:20:26Z

I'm seeing this issue in live among small percent of users.
Devices: different Sony TVs (BRAVIA 4K 2015, BRAVIA 4K GB, BRAVIA 4K GB ATV3), Panasonic GX655 (app is Android-TV only)
Different locations: Aurope, Asia

On top of that all problematic installations did successfully authorized using Firebase Auth (anonymous).

One user report I've got recently shows that client was constantly getting this error since at least 1 July.
Still getting this issue after cleaning app's data from system settings.

I do not see any correlations between issue and "installations with new SDK".
There are a lot of users using same app version (same SDKs) without this issue. New users and 1-3-6 month users.

I've got confirmation from user that factory-resetting device (Sony TV) solves this issue

huSSooxXx · 2020-09-08T14:06:11Z

I can get firebase token after than android updates and google play services update

adamseoul · 2020-11-17T23:09:49Z

It is something to do with the initialisation of the phone/device, maybe a duplicate or unwritten "android_id"
You need to generate a new Android Unique ID, so it is not feasible for app end users. I worked this out after getting tired of factory resetting devices that run my 1000's of units in the field Android hardware/software product.

You could try to update "Google Play Service" on the Android device, and I solve this problem after updating "Google Play Service".
My dependencies:
- implementation 'com.google.firebase:firebase-messaging:21.0.0'
- implementation 'com.google.firebase:firebase-core:18.0.0'

I found out that those problem devices are with the some info:

device  manufacturer: Samsung
Android version : 10

Could yours info with trouble device be similiar?

harshmittal2810 · 2021-01-06T06:27:25Z

I am getting error in all devices but locally debug app works fine.
After pushing to play store, I am getting these issues.

namgk · 2021-01-14T07:05:36Z

same here on some of our devices, factory reset fixed the problem. BUT WHY?

adamseoul · 2021-01-14T08:12:01Z

I solved this in the past, You are re-making an android_id when you factory reset.

You need to generate a new Android Unique ID, so it is not feasible for app end users. I worked this out after getting tired of factory resetting devices that run my 1000's of units in the field Android hardware/software product.

thanks @adamseoul , how do I generate this value: 7355de1e9e9670c5?

BTW, the fact that Firebase depends on this android_id seems wrong.

@jameshmread Can you share which API are you using, is it the FirebaseInstallations or the deprecated FirebaseInstanceId?

I have been receiving Firebase AUTHENTICATION_FAILED. Below was my analysis.

Failed sessions -> AUTHENTICATION_FAILED received
Success Sessions ->FCM token recieved

For both, failed and successful sessions, a call to https://firebaseinstallations.googleapis.com/v1/projects/<project_name>/installations is made.
For both, failed and successful sessions, we receive a successful 200 response. E.g

"text": "{\n  \"name\": \"projects/<Project ID>/installations/<fid>\",
  \"fid\": \"<fid>\",
  \"refreshToken\": \"2_8hvwdXJl1frsO2-QMamcJVuBN47Wr4tbja9i1LdBo3UH3TgfpW00f0xZXxpISLhe\",
  \"authToken\": 
        {\"token\": \"<authToken>\",
        \"expiresIn\": \"604800s\"\n  }\n}\n"
},

Now, that is it for the failed sessions, no more API calls. However, for successful sessions, a call to https://android.clients.google.com/c2dm/register3 is made. Now this call fetches the registration token with the response being

"text": "token=fcXcK_OaSV22oclS8g_IVV:APA91bE35IjoWQyAlRS0ON6aj6_vxY5qlktdRCrnog_8tZ_2joHn1mLlkhSdsjenK50ESgNNhSPIUVzqrLGU6tBD_Y2azu1rKCypzqOpmD7u6hlYkjt8lH28_WHbOufJs9d7BulG-Wwf"

Now, what’s interesting is Google shut down C2DM long back in 2015. Also, if you visit the API link, the following is found, wherein it mentions server and client APIs were removed on May 29, 2019, and currently any calls to those APIs can be expected to fail

Thus, somehow, the deprecated GCM APIs are being called.

Now in the firebase repo

firebase-android-sdk/firebase-messaging/src/main/AndroidManifest.xml

Lines 20 to 31 in 21a9f91

    
           <!-- Required by older versions of Google Play services to create IID tokens --> 
        
           <uses-permission android:name="com.google.android.c2dm.permission.RECEIVE" /> 
        
           <application> 
        
                 <receiver 
        
                     android:name="com.google.firebase.iid.FirebaseInstanceIdReceiver" 
        
                     android:exported="true" 
        
                     android:permission="com.google.android.c2dm.permission.SEND" > 
        
                     <intent-filter> 
        
                         <action android:name="com.google.android.c2dm.intent.RECEIVE" /> 
        
                     </intent-filter> 
        
                 </receiver>

, it mentions com.google.android.c2dm → Required by older versions of Google Play services to create IID tokens

IID tokens are used in providing the app instance's token https://iid.googleapis.com/iid/info/IID_TOKEN

I Ran a session with the latest gms version 21.39.14 to date. However, still, the deprecated GCM API call to https://android.clients.google.com/c2dm/register3 is made.

Folks, any idea why calls to https://android.clients.google.com/c2dm/register3 are made?

Same here, it seems if firebase installation is present, i.e.

implementation 'com.google.firebase:firebase-installations:17.0.0'

Firebase Remote Config will depend on this guy. On some devices, such as FireTV as we tested, Firebase Installations wasn't able to make the API call (403). Eventually Firebase Remote Config wasn't working at all.

Our fix was just to remove that firebase-installations dependency, which was somehow there for no reason.

I think if Firebase Installations is not working, it should fallback where as if Firebase Installations doesn't exist.

Closing this as the original issue appears to have been solved. It's unclear whether the other reports added to this issue have the same root cause or are unrelated. For issues that are not related, a new issue should be opened, using the issue template with all of the information added.

For the questions on AUTHENTICATION_FAILED, this usually means that the device does not have a valid registration (Android ID). Factory resetting the device causes the Android ID to be reset and it will try to register the new ID, so this may be why that fixed it in those cases.

Also note that FirebaseInstanceId requires Google Play services to create a token and it will fail on devices without it.
