I am facing the same issue, it seems this library is not maintained anymore

[dhoehl]

This is bad. Is there an alternative? Even the google docs reference this library. Hope we get some offical answer as on how to move on. This is a braking change now. Otherwise I think we can fork this lib and fix it. There should be plenty of users out there

May I know which IdP you are using? It is working on my end with only Phone Auth.

@dhoehl have you tried upgrading play-services-auth, when I had issue that the app would just crash when the email button was clicked on latest android, older versions no problem, when I upgraded the play-services it fixed the issue:
implementation('com.google.android.gms:play-services-auth:20.7.0')

Note when I tried using the latest version of play-services-auth:21.0.0, I could not build my app, due to some changes to the library that FirebaseUI does not like.

[dhoehl]

This indeed fixes the problem for now, But I also could only use 20.7.0. With 21.0.0 the whole library crashes instantly. I won't close this issue, as it is only a workaround solution. The library itself should include the play-services dependency and handle the version correctly.

[paulotaylor]

Yeah, it does look like this project is very much stale nowadays. Nothing wrong with that, but it's pretty bad that Firebase still mentions Firebase UI in their documentation while it's obvious that the new version of the play-services-auth library completely breaks this.

[ian-sayles]

The iOS version is still being maintained so hopefully this will be updated soon.

[mihaibarbulescu]

I can confirm that the issue reproduces at my side as well.

Works on com.google.android.gms:play-services-auth:20.7.0
Crashes on com.google.android.gms:play-services-auth:21.1.0

If 21.1.0 is used, results Gradle sync issue:
Failed to resolve: com.google.android.gms:play-services-auth:21.1.0

@thatfiredev any update on this? is anyone working on it or should we remove this dependency and implement it ourselves?

[hkchakladar]

Facing same issue. Looks like need to move on to other library or implement by ourselve.

Anyone have another library recommendation for phone auth only?
