I fixed it by entering correct SHA-1 in firebase console. Problem was I was using following command for generating SHA-1 from my project directory

keytool -exportcert -list -v -alias androiddebugkey -keystore ~/.android/debug.keystore

Here path for the debug.keystore is in ~/.android folder which is different, my keystore was inside <project-dir>/android/app, So I followed this new path in command, which was in my project directory

keytool -exportcert -list -v -alias androiddebugkey -keystore ./android/app/debug.keystore

Then (1) copied the SHA-1, and (2) enter it in project of firebase console then (3) download the config file again and replace it in android/app folder then (4) remove the build and install again, it worked!

EDIT: For some reasons, on a few computer devices you also have to perform these steps. -> Close the terminal and uninstall the application from the mobile device. remove android/build folder and remove android/app/build folder. Now install again on your device.

If you get error like … Only one command is allowed: both -exportcert and -list were specified. Solution: remove -exportcert from command, thus command will be …keytool -list -v -alias androiddebugkey -keystore ./android/app/debug.keystore

for poor souls like me who used the android client id,

you have to add your web client id. not android client Id.

its quite obvious people might think they have to add the android client id since they are building it for android. but it is the web client id that you have to add.
