Answer 1

Faced the same problem when added Firebase dependencies to my project.

java.lang.SecurityException: Unknown calling package name 'com.google.android.gms'

Solve this by updating installed SDKs: Tool -> SDK Manager -> (in my case) Android API 35 ->

Android SDK Platform 35 and Google Play Intel x86_64 Atom System Image <- updating one of this SDK was solve this exception.

UPD1: Ok, solution above help me fix this error with Firebase Authentication, but when I started working directly with Firestore database it appear again.

UPD2: Found solution here for Firestore db gms error:

1. check installed packages with adb command ( adb shell dumpsys package com.google.android.gms | grep versionName ) if found two versions ->

2. go to emulator/device settings and reset Google Play Services.
