E/FirebaseInstanceId: Token retrieval failed: AUTHENTICATION_FAILED

[andrew.ric...@gmail.com]

So I'm relatively new to developing Android applications, this is the first time I've attempted to use Firebase for Authentication, and as of right now I am using createUserWithEmailAndPassword and signInWithEmailAndPassword. Up to this point its been very depressing I have to pray each time I run the application hoping it will communicate with Firebase and its been about 50/50 with no modifications to the project. But the latest series of issues haven't gone away. These are the issues I suspect are preventing any connection to Firebase.

I have spent days scowering through posts on here looking for similar issues but have come up empty in trying to remedy them. I have been attempting to use multiple emulators but try to use a Pixel 2 XL W/ API 26 and Target Android 8.0 (Google APIs). Google Play Services version 11.7.43. SDK Manager in Android Studios shows no updates and I've not found a way to update Google Play Services on the emulator. I am also using Android Studio 3.0.1

My Project/build.gradle:

// Top-level build file where you can add configuration options common to all sub-projects/modules.

buildscript {

    repositories {
        google()
        jcenter()
    }
    dependencies {
        classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.0.1'
        classpath 'com.google.gms:google-services:3.1.1'


        // NOTE: Do not place your application dependencies here; they belong
        // in the individual module build.gradle files
    }
}

allprojects {
    repositories {
        google()
        maven { url "https://maven.google.com" }
        jcenter()
    }
}

task clean(type: Delete) {
    delete rootProject.buildDir
}

My App/build.gradle:

apply plugin: 'com.android.application'

android {
    compileSdkVersion 26
    buildToolsVersion "26.0.2"
    defaultConfig {
        applicationId "com.tcdata.andrewrichardson.chefevandroidapplication"
        minSdkVersion 15
        targetSdkVersion 26
        versionCode 1
        versionName "1.0"
        testInstrumentationRunner "android.support.test.runner.AndroidJUnitRunner"
        vectorDrawables.useSupportLibrary = true
    }
    buildTypes {
        release {
            minifyEnabled false
            proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
        }
    }
}

dependencies {
    compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])
    androidTestCompile('com.android.support.test.espresso:espresso-core:2.2.2', {
        exclude group: 'com.android.support', module: 'support-annotations'
    })

    compile 'com.google.firebase:firebase-auth:11.6.2'
    compile 'com.google.firebase:firebase-database:11.6.2'
    compile 'com.google.firebase:firebase-core:11.6.2'
    compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-auth:11.6.2'
    compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:26.+'
    compile 'com.android.support.constraint:constraint-layout:1.0.2'
    compile 'info.hoang8f:fbutton:1.0.5'
    compile 'com.rengwuxian.materialedittext:library:2.1.4'
    compile 'com.android.support:design:26.+'
    compile 'com.android.support:cardview-v7:26.+'
    compile 'com.android.support:recyclerview-v7:26.+'
    compile 'com.squareup.picasso:picasso:2.5.2'
    compile 'com.amulyakhare:com.amulyakhare.textdrawable:1.0.1'
    compile 'com.readystatesoftware.sqliteasset:sqliteassethelper:+'
    testCompile 'junit:junit:4.12'
}
apply plugin: 'com.google.gms.google-services'

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

The error there I see looks like InstanceID - what failures are you seeing from the email auth? InstanceID shouldn't block the firebase auth calls afaiu.

Here are additional results I'm getting, when I submit a registration request it eventually times out and the email/password combination never reach firebase
