com.firebase.ui.auth.FirebaseUiException: There was an error while trying to get your package certificate hash.

Step 1: Are you in the right place?

Yes

Step 2: Describe your environment

FirebaseUI version: 7.1.1

Step 3: Describe the problem:

I get error reports from Sentry that look like this. This appears to be part of the automated build validation stuff that the Play store runs (I don’t have any espresso tests in my codebase). Is there any way we could have this exception be a different type? Or have a unique+known error code so I can filter it out?

Ok we can add this to the list of known exceptions I think, although you should probably also try to find out where that strangely signed APK comes from!

It’s definitely some sort of Play Store validation (maybe the pre-launch report?). The app is sideloaded (packageManager.getInstallerPackageName is null).

I use App Signing in the play store so I thought maybe the Play Store was trying to test out the uploadKey-signed app. Tried adding the upload key SHA-1/SHA-256 to the firebase app config, but that didn’t help.

Maybe Play Store is taking the aab I upload and extracting the apks with some different signing key? bundletool uses the debug signing key by default, maybe that’s the problem?

Anyway it’d be rad if I could filter these exceptions out somehow. The build I uploaded has functioning authentication.
