Android Studio. Error: Cannot resolve symbol 'default_web_client_id'

[Rizwan Vandal]

I've recently changed my development computer and have been getting the error as per the subject line. The strange thing is that even with this error, my code is able to compile and I'm able to run my app and sign into google without any issues. I have tried the following steps, but still seem to have this error. 

1) Checked to make sure firebase and google dependencies have been added

2) Re-added the google-services.json file.

3) Checked that the OAuth 2.0 client id in the google developer console matches the id in the json file

4) Performed "Invalidate Cache/Restart"

5) Deleted the .idea folder and .iml files and re-imported the project

The strange thing is that if i look at the values.xml file in my app, the correct default_web_client _id is there, but android studio is unable to resolve it. Any ideas would be helpful.

Hi Rizwan,

I've gotten into situations like this myself, and getting out seems to be mostly luck.  If your app compiles and runs fine then this is just an Android Studio issue, which means there's probably nobody on this email list who can help you.  You can report a bug to Android Studio and hopefully they can point you in the right direction!

Well The solution is simple and easy. Most of the developers finds the error when they closed the project and reopen it then the default_web_client error results.

Solution:
You need to add the client id in the
res-->values-->string
<string name="default_web_client_id" translatable="false">xxxxxxxx</string>
for the client id(xxxxxxxxx) you can go to Firebase console and paste here.
