Answer 1

I downloaded the newest version of google-service.json (can be done via Firebase Settings). In my case there was a new entry added to oauth_client. After syncing with the file system and rebuilding my app the warning does not seem to appear anymore.

EDIT 20-02-2020: After testing this a bit more it unfortunately doesn't seem to help in the end. In my case the error message only for sure occur when starting the app the first time after an uninstall of the app - in most other cases it does not happen.

Answer 2

I have added

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET"/>

In my manifest file and got rid of Firebase InstanceId: binding to the service failed. Hope it will help.
