Firebase Error: W/BiChannelGoogleApi: [FirebaseAuth: ] getGoogleApiForMethod() returned Gms

Question

This is my SignUp Acitivity. I'm trying to create a createUserWithEmailAndPassword with Firebase and add some details to the user's profile such as Full Name, Address and Phone Number. I want to add the user profile under the Unique ID in the "users" database assigned to the new User when creating the user with email and password.

public void signUpButtonClicked(View view) {

    if (!TextUtils.isEmpty(email_text) && !TextUtils.isEmpty(pass_text)) {
        mAuth.createUserWithEmailAndPassword(email_text, pass_text).addOnCompleteListener(new OnCompleteListener<AuthResult>() {

            public void onComplete(@NonNull Task<AuthResult> task) {
                if (task.isSuccessful()) {
                    String user_id = mAuth.getCurrentUser().getUid();
                    DatabaseReference current_user = mDatabase.child(user_id);
                    current_user.child("Email").setValue(email_text);
                    current_user.child("Full name").setValue(fullName);
                    current_user.child("Nickname").setValue(nick);
                    current_user.child("Address").setValue(fullAdd);
                    current_user.child("Phone Number").setValue(phone);

                    Toast.makeText(MainActivity.this, "You are now REGISTERED", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
                    Intent userProfile = new Intent(MainActivity.this, MenuActivity.class);
                    startActivity(userProfile);

                } else {
                    email.setError(null);
                    pass.setError(null);
                }
            }
        });
   }

This is how my build.gradle looks like.

dependencies {
    implementation fileTree(include: ['*.jar'], dir: 'libs')
    implementation 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:26.1.0'
    implementation 'com.android.support.constraint:constraint-layout:1.0.2'
    implementation 'com.google.firebase:firebase-auth:11.8.0'
    implementation 'com.google.firebase:firebase-database:11.8.0'
    testImplementation 'junit:junit:4.12'
    androidTestImplementation 'com.android.support.test:runner:1.0.1'
    androidTestImplementation 'com.android.support.test.espresso:espresso-core:3.0.1'
    implementation 'com.android.support:recyclerview-v7:26.1.0'
    compile 'com.squareup.picasso:picasso:2.5.2'
    compile 'com.firebaseui:firebase-ui-database:1.0.1'
    implementation 'com.android.support:cardview-v7:26.1.0'
    compile 'com.cepheuen.elegant-number-button:lib:1.0.2'

    compile 'com.amulyakhare:com.amulyakhare.textdrawable:1.0.1'
    compile 'com.readystatesoftware.sqliteasset:sqliteassethelper:+'
}
apply plugin: 'com.google.gms.google-services'

It doesn't crash but it also doesn't do anything. It just logs this error.

Try Downgrading the Firebase Version or Updating Goole play and Play Services in the phone or Emulator.

implementation 'com.google.firebase:firebase-auth:11.4.2'
implementation 'com.google.firebase:firebase-database:11.4.2'
implementation 'com.firebaseui:firebase-ui-database:3.1.0'

or to Firebase version 10.2.6
