Attempting Firebase auth (with Google) on Android Wear 2.0 shows "InternalFirebaseAuth.FIREBASE_AUTH_API is not available on this device"

Question

I am trying to use Firebase Auth (10.0.1, Google as auth provider) with Android Wear 2.0, but when I run signInWithCredential, operation fails (see this logs below.) I am using this method.

com.google.firebase.FirebaseApiNotAvailableException: API: InternalFirebaseAuth.FIREBASE_AUTH_API is not available on this device.

I have been successful using Firebase Real Time DB with Wear 1.0 and 2.0, but auth is not cooperating. Any ideas?

I notice you asked this same question on the Wear developer community on G+, and got the answer there: Firebase Auth is not yet supported on Wear. https://plus.google.com/+LewisMcGeary/posts/BQzGE2G4RX6
