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.

Answer 1

"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

Answer 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.

Answer 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.

You can find here the releases: https://github.com/facebook/facebook-android-sdk/releases

Root cause: You miss google services in your device. So if you use emulator then apply "Cold boot" mode in advanced setting, if you use real device please change another

Answer 10

You could be using a deprecated version of Google Play Services on your device, try upgrading your Play Services first.

Answer 11

For me, this was a connection issue with my emulator. I was unable to load websites outside of my company's VPN. Probably worth confirming that you can do that (load up yahoo or stackoverflow on the device's browser) if you're having this issue. Once I figured out my emulator's connection issues, I was able to get the token.

Answer 12

In my case, I was facing an Internet connectivity Issue. Make sure your Internet Connection is Strong enough to Generate FcmToken.
