I found a few problems with this issue:

• I couldn't figure out how to label this issue, so I've labeled it for a human to triage. Hang tight.
• This issue does not seem to follow the issue template. Make sure you provide all the required information.

Looks like a problem with the usage of AndroidKeysetManager in the SDK. I'll figure out what's going on

[malcolmdeck]

I think I've found and fixed the culprit. I've filed b/183415315 internally, and it should come out in the next release.

[ValeraSetrakov]

@malcolmdeck thanks!) Can you suggest an approximate release date?

[aguatno]

Hi @ValeraSetrakov it seems the fix has been released in the new version of Firebase Auth SDK 20.0.4, see release notes .

Can you try to upgrade to a newer Auth version to see if the problem persists?

Thanks
