What are the exact steps to enable safetynet device check api on Android

Question

I have integrated firebase phone authentication in my android app. It was working fine for almost 2 months and suddenly from 2-3 days back I am observing different behavior.

Capcha screen started appearing. Earlier I had not enabled safetynet device check API. Looking at firebase documentation I treid enabling safetynet device check.

As the steps are not clear, I am not sure if I did it right. I am also not clear how firebase and google cloud are linked. How firebase will know which google cloud project to link to..

Earlier the flow was ... Phone authentication->receive SMS->auto verify SMS and user is logged in. Now the flow is ... Phone authentication-> Captcha screen appears (kind of web page is loaded)... -> after sometime the captcha screen closes on its own -> SMS received -> login with OTP verification.

Let me know how to avoid the captcha screen. I am sure I will lose many users if capcha screen comes in between.
