Release builds return the error code 12500

[mary-ng5519]

the integration of 'com.firebaseui:firebase-ui-auth' returns error 12500, we already updated and checked latest json configs, Android client ID (from goole cloud console) and SHA-5 extracted from release jsk, it works only debug build, in release builds, it returns the 12500 error code
*scope of evaluation: release builds for internal testing, doesnt push the release APK to PlayStore channels

Hey @mary-ng5519
Sorry you have run into that. Have you seen this section in our docs: https://firebase.google.com/docs/android/troubleshooting-faq#android-app-error12500 ?

[thatfiredev]

Also, it would be helpful to us if you can tell us what version of Firebase Auth and Firebase UI you're using.

[drindt]

I have exactly the same problem. I use firebase-bom:33.1.1 and firebase-ui-auth:8.0.2. I can absolutely rule out that this is a wrong setup, i.e. signing fingerprints.
I would be very grateful for any help. The code has been running smoothly so far. I cannot understand in which version construct the error occurs.

Thanks,
Daniel
