Crashes in FirebaseUI for Android – Is It Still Supported?

[ian-sayles]

Hi,

I noticed that FirebaseUI for Android has not been updated for over two years, and I’m experiencing crashes in my app that seem to be caused by the library.

I rely on FirebaseUI for simplifying authentication and database integration, but with these crashes and no recent updates or communication from maintainers, I’m concerned about its stability and long-term viability.

Could someone confirm if this library is still actively supported or maintained? If not, are there plans for its deprecation, or should the community consider developing a fork or alternative to address these issues?

Any guidance or updates from the Firebase team or community would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Ian

I will close this ticket.

After the recent release of YouTube videos demonstrating how to use authentication with Credential Manager and Firebase Auth—which is the only part of FirebaseUI I use in my app—I have decided to implement it myself and remove this library.

I guess this is what Google wants people to do; I just wish they had been more upfront about it.
