GoogleApiManager Error in Logcat

[nawa gaani]

Hi, 

I keep getting this error after I login to my app in the logcat. The app is not crashing so I've been ignoring it for now, but I think I have to get rid of this error. I made sure my Google Play Services is up to date, my JSON matches everything in the FirebaseConsole for my project, I also added an SHA-1 key after doing a bit of research. But no matter what I do the error is still there. I also noticed that a little after the GoogleApiManager, I get a CondFlagRegister warning. 

GoogleApiManager: 

Failed to get service from broker.
java.lang.SecurityException: Unknown calling package name 'com.google.android.gms'.
at android.os.Parcel.createExceptionOrNull

CondFlagRegister:

Failed to register com.google.android.gms.providerinstaller#com.google.android.gms
euqe: 17: 17: API: Phenotype.API is not available on this device. Connection failed with: ConnectionResult{statusCode=DEVELOPER_ERROR, resolution=null, message=null}

Hi,

Thank you for contacting the Mobile Ads SDK Support team. 

This is a known issue and the team is still looking into this internally and will update when a fix is deployed. As of now, we believe this error will only be thrown in a background thread of the com.google.android.gms process and shouldn't have a negative impact on app behavior.

Thanks,

We believe this error will only be thrown in a background thread of the com.google.android.gms process and shouldn't have a negative impact on app behavior. Could you please confirm whether you are  facing any issues with this while loading the ads? or somewhere in the application.

Thanks,

Hello,

I am working on a simple android application that utilizes Firebase to store data. I am having the same issue as described above:

Failed to get service from broker.
                                                                                                    java.lang.SecurityException: Unknown calling package name 'com.google.android.gms'.

All I wanted to do at first is to try the connection between my application and Firestore database and add a simple record:

private void addSimpleTestRecord() {
        FirebaseFirestore db = FirebaseFirestore.getInstance();
        Map<String, Object> testData = new HashMap<>();
        testData.put("test_number", 123);
        testData.put("description", "This is a connection test");
        testData.put("timestamp", System.currentTimeMillis());

        db.collection("test")
                .add(testData)
                .addOnSuccessListener(documentReference -> {
                    Log.d(TAG, "DocumentSnapshot added with ID: " + documentReference.getId());
                    if (getContext() != null) {
                        Toast.makeText(getContext(), "Success! ID: " + documentReference.getId(), Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
                    }
                })
                .addOnFailureListener(e -> {
                    Log.w(TAG, "Error adding document", e);
                    if (getContext() != null) {
                        Toast.makeText(getContext(), "Error: " + e.getMessage(), Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
                    }
                });
}

"I made sure my Google Play Services is up to date, my JSON matches everything in the FirebaseConsole for my project, I also added an SHA-1 key after doing a bit of research. But no matter what I do the error is still there." 

I did the same and also tried to uninstall the Google Play Services update becuase I read online that the issue may be becuase of two versions of the Google Play Services installed on the phone. I am not using emulator but a physical device with Android 16.
