FirebaseInstanceId Token retrieval failed SERVICE_NOT_AVAILABLE

Question

I'm working on an android app, it uses Firebase Authentication, Database and Storage. It was all working fine until this error message started to show up in logcat. (I did not tamper with any configs at firebase console)

E/FirebaseInstanceId: Token retrieval failed: SERVICE_NOT_AVAILABLE

this error message shows even when I have commented on all firebase-related code.

Therefore I'm unable to proceed with authentication and other firebase-related stuff.
Yes, I'm connected to the internet and also have gotten a new Google-Services.json file from Firebase Console but it has made no difference at all.

"Cold Boot Now" Device in AVD Manager worked for me.

Edit: After updating emulators and than doing the cold boot it helped. – parohy Apr 5 at 9:22

Solution 2

Stop emulator device and open AVD Manager Panel, edit device configuration. In device configuration panel "Show Advanced Settings" in "Emulated Performance" section select "Cold boot" option as Boot Option then click Finish, it should be worked.

Solution 3

I also faced with this issue. As I can see it can happen for many reasons.

Finally I figured out that my problem was that the current latest Facebook Android SDK version (v4.36.0) has a bug. Everything works fine if I set it back to v4.35.0. Maybe this info can help someone in the future.

To fix it you should check your Google play services properly are enabled

If it is still showing the same error then you need to try the below steps

1. You need to stop your emulator device.

2. After that you need to open the AVD Manager Panel then the edit device configuration. In your device configuration panel go to "Show Advanced Settings" in the "Emulated Performance" section then you need to select the "Cold boot" option as the Boot Option then you should click on the Finish.
