Temporary I solved it with:

implementation(libs.firebase.inappmessaging.display) {
    exclude(group = "com.google.firebase", module = "protolite-well-known-types")
}

Hi @anonym24, thank you for reaching out. This looks like a duplicate of #5997.

This is a know compatibility n issue when using the latest version of protobuf-javalite from 4.27 and above. You can check this comment for more details.

I'll be closing this issue now to avoid duplicate efforts and streamline updates on this issue. Thanks!
