App Check - Too many attempts

[chenop]

Issue

Trying to use AppCheck with "Play Integrity" android
Did the following:

1. install react-native-firebase/app-check
2. In Firebase Console --> App Check --> Apps --> Registered Successfully Play Integrity - inserting the SHA-256 generated from the app keystore file
   keytool -list -v -alias [alias] -keystore [keystore file path] -keypass [key password]
3. invoking:

export const getAppCheckToken = async () => {
	try {
		const { token } = await firebase.appCheck().getToken();
		return token;
	} catch (err) {
		console.error(err);
		return err.toString();
	}
};

Actual:
[appCheck/token-error] com.google.firebase.FirebaseException: Too many attempts

Expected:
Real token

[appCheck/token-error] com.google.firebase.FirebaseException: Too many attempts

How many attempts were there 🤔 ? We test it in our CI all the time and it definitely works - I suspect something about your project config and/or timing of requests etc. You should watch adb logcat while testing.

Thank you @mikehardy for the quick response - will try to upgrade those packages

App Check on Android looks ok

Took the SAH-256 from here:

@mikehardy Is that ok?

Trying to use AppCheck with "Play Integrity" android

We don't support Play Integrity yet.

So I think this is essentially duplicate #6434

Hey, I'm having exactly the same issues with latest react-native-firebase.

[IncognitoGK9]

I also have similar issue: I have followed all steps, put the debug tokens where necessary. I want to use firebase emulator with real device. This works perfect with web but with mobile app on real device hitting the firebase emulator, has error:
D/com.google.firebase.appcheck.debug.internal.DebugAppCheckProvider(25557): Enter this debug secret into the allow list in the Firebase Console for your project: 36c2eb3f-ed60-4d36-b2a8-137d45******
W/LocalRequestInterceptor(25557): Error getting App Check token; using placeholder token instead. Error: com.google.firebase.FirebaseException: Too many attempts.

Note that the debug secret is already in the firebase as required.

Is there a clear step by step procedure for setting up firebase emulator with App check, I have failed to get this straight...

And with the live (non emulator, after configuring App check, App intergrity, My app stopped getting downloads. I have set the configuration to :

MEETS_BASIC_INTEGRITY (this is deselected)
The app is running on a device that passes basic system integrity checks. Learn more

MEETS_STRONG_INTEGRITY (this is deselected)
The app is running on an Android device powered by Google Play services. It has a strong guarantee of system integrity. Learn more

all the necessary configuration on the code side have been done, but Google play keeps showing the Safetynet warning, and still since this configuration, seems my app is no longer visible to users thus no more downloads....
on the Google Cloud part, I disabled or do not have any key restriction for firebase: Android key (auto created by Firebase) because such restrictions were affecting my app (but still, this app check integrity issues persists.... there is clearly a confusion on App check, App integrity, firebase emulator vs Firebase, web vs mobile use for firebase emulator/firebase live....

I wish someone will do a comprehensive guide on these set ups.

I am developing a flutter application and facing the exact same issue
Error getting App Check token; using placeholder token instead. Error: com.google.firebase.FirebaseException: Error returned from API. code: 403 body: App attestation failed.
I wish someone to help me resolve this error

[VidojeMuric]

I am developping Android application and having same issues. Could someone give his experience, how to resolve these issues?

Error getting App Check token; using placeholder token instead. Error: com.google.firebase.FirebaseException: Error returned from API. code: 403 body: App attestation failed.

Error getting App Check token; using placeholder token instead. Error: com.google.firebase.FirebaseException: Too many attempts.

[barath-dev]

Hey VidojeMuric,
I haven't resolved this issue but, i de enforced in the Firebase app
check.I dont think
there is a exact solution for this, I have tried every way possible to
completely
resolve this issue. So ignoring this issue would be the best solution.

[Krishi1702]

Hey @VidojeMuric
I am getting the same error. Did you find any solution to it?
