I've been trying to use the auth, firestore firebase in an Android / IOS flutter application, and have been experiencing many different issues, after testing several different versions. Now it's showing me several messages in the build log.

Can you please show us your code? - user12465043
Looks like not using proper versions of plugins, showing flutter doctor -v and pubspec.yaml would help further analyze the problem - dlohani
thanx in advance - Chandru

You need to use the following plugin:

dependencies:
  firebase_auth: ^0.15.3
  cloud_firestore: ^0.13.0+1

Don't forget to configure firebase:

https://pub.dev/packages/cloud_firestore#setup

https://pub.dev/packages/firebase_auth#usage

Also in your app/build.gradle, increase the minSdkVersion:

Change this:

minSdkVersion 16

into this:

minSdkVersion 23

In order to use minSdkVersion below 21 you will have to configure your app for multidex like this:

android {
    defaultConfig {
        ...
        minSdkVersion 15 
        targetSdkVersion 28
        multiDexEnabled true
    }
    ...
}

dependencies {
  implementation "androidx.multidex:multidex:2.0.1"
}

After this please run the

flutter pub upgrade
flutter pub get
flutter clean
flutter run

It will still throw the warning after flutter clean, but at least it will be possible for supporting earlier versions. More to check out on official docs
