@lehcar09 👋 I see you triaged my issue but didn't answer. This is an actual production bug affecting all of my users so I'd love to get at least a bit of insight of what's going on and if there's something I can do on my end to mitigate this.

Many thanks!

Hi @benoitletondor, I’m currently taking a look at this. Based on your description, this looks like a device specific issue and started on Jan 15. Did you recently update the Firebase version you’re using? Can you share the previous version you’re using?

Looking into our release notes, there are no changes in Firebase Authentication in BOM 33.7.0.

[benoitletondor]

I didn't bump any firebase dependency no, the only I changed is the AGP version from 8.7.3 to 8.8.0

[benoitletondor]

@lehcar09 ?

[lehcar09]

This issue might be caused by the incompatibility of the AGP version on Chromebook devices running Android 11.

Could you share your gradle app/module file? Aside from that, have you tried reverting to AGP 8.7.3 to see if the error rate reduces?
