WeChat API failing registration in app - android

I'm developing an application for the Chinese market which will allow our users to login using WeChat. We have applied for a mobile application on https://open.weixin.qq.com and it passed.
I used the example project of WeChat to see how it works, and got it working fine (WeChatSDK_sample_Android).
Then I tried using our received AppID and have failed since then. When we try to call the register action we see following error pop up in the logcat:
Server response error code:404, error:{"ret":-1, "msg":"invalid appkey"}
The Package Name in the manifest and the applicationId in our build.gradle file are exactly the same as the package name we put in the wechat form. We first picked the SHA256 signature, but since then also tried the SHA1 and MD5 signature to see if it works (both with and without ':', all in UPPERCASE).
I also tried the chinese application that was referenced multiple times that can be found here https://github.com/mike623/cordova-WeChat-meteor-sharing/blob/master/README.md
I'm completely out of thoughts what I can change now to see if it works.
Here is where I got the appId from (where the blue is now):
Do you have any idea what I can try, or what I did wrong?
Kr,
Thomas

I also encountered this problem before. It is caused by incorrect Wechat app signature. Because the signatures of debug and release version are different, so that's why Wechat return
Server response error code:404, error:{"ret":-1, "msg":"invalid appkey"}.
How to solve this problem?
Download generate signature tool which is provided by Wechat:
https://res.wx.qq.com/open/zh_CN/htmledition/res/dev/download/sdk/Gen_Signature_Android2.apk
Open the tool in your Android device or simulator, then enter the package name of your app into the tool and get signature:
At last, check the signature in step 2 with the signature you submitted in the Wechat Open API Platform. If they are different, pls change the signature or build a correct version APK.

Android InstantApp and sharedUserId

I would like to create an instant app for one application currently on the play store.
For that, I made dynamic feature modules with all necessary things for instant experience.
The major problem is that the field android:sharedUserId is defined on main module.
When testing my work, we get the following error on logcat :
android.content.pm.PackageParser$PackageParserException: /data/app/vmdl143761699.tmp/base.apk (at Binary XML file line #2): sharedUserId not allowed in ephemeral application
This means that an instant app cannot work with sharedUserId field...
When I remove this field, my instant app works very well, but I cannot install main application or update previous installation version, I obtain this error :
E/Finsky: [2] zdp.onReceive(15): Error -505 while installing xx.xx.xxx.xxx: INSTALL_FAILED_SHARED_USER_INCOMPATIBLE: Package xx.xxx.xxxx.xxx tried to change user null
Ok, Google specify that is not possible to delete this field without application reinstal... (https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/manifest-element#uid)
So I could not have an instant app as long as I have sharedUserId field and I cannot delete it...
Is there any solution for my problem ?

java.io.IOException: FIS_AUTH_ERROR in Android Firebase

Here is the part of the code where crash occurs:
FirebaseInstanceId.getInstance().getInstanceId().addOnCompleteListener(new OnCompleteListener<InstanceIdResult>() {
#Override
public void onComplete(#NonNull Task<InstanceIdResult> task) {
if (task.getResult() != null && task.isSuccessful()) {
// Get new Instance ID token
firebaseToken = task.getResult().getToken();
prefs.edit().putString("firebaseToken", firebaseToken).apply();
registerToken();
}
}
});
The error occurs in onComplete. Here is firebase dependencies which I use:
// FIREBASE
implementation 'com.google.firebase:firebase-analytics:17.2.3'
implementation 'com.google.firebase:firebase-messaging:20.1.2'
implementation 'com.google.firebase:firebase-appindexing:19.1.0'
implementation 'com.google.firebase:firebase-ads:19.0.0'
implementation 'com.google.firebase:firebase-crashlytics:17.0.0-beta01'
I found this issue on Github related with my crash but there is no conclusive solution at all. Does anybody encountered this kind of issue? Thanks in advance.
Note: I don't use Flutter however the error occurs without flutter too. Device is Samsung A51 with Android 10.
Note 2: Firebase removed firebase-core. Problem can be related with that.
All you have to do is just make the API key you are using has permission to the following APIs:
Firebase Installations API
Firebase Cloud Messaging API
FCM Registration API
Cloud Messaging
You can change the restrictions from your google cloud -> APIs & Services -> Credentials
All of a sudden the same error (FIS_AUTH_ERROR) appeared in one of my apps, where I use Firebase Cloud Messaging. Everything was working without any issues, and suddenly the app was not able to get the app/device token with getToken(). After hours of research I discovered something, which solved the problem for me. I decided to check the values in the file google-services.json to see if they match the corresponding parameters in the Firebase Console at the settings of my project. First I downloaded a brand new google-services.json, which I compared with the one I already had in my app's folder, and they both were simply the same without any difference. In the Firebase Console I was checking one by one the Project ID, the Project number, etc. When I got to the Web API Key its value looked quite similar to api_key from google-services.json, but still both values were different. Then I decided to edit the file, and in the place of api_key I've put the value from Web API Key. Then I've cleaned the project and rebuilt, and afterwards everything again started working just perfectly.
Update 08.2022
After more than a year later I can confirm that the above is still valid. Though I decided to check the key restrictions in Google Cloud Console following the advise of Ambrose Bako. Then I discovered that the mess with the different keys available in my account is even bigger.
The last key (Maps API key) is the one which gets into the Firebase file google-services.json. I've downloaded a fresh copy, and it is still the same, no change since then. Obviously this key has pretty tight restrictions, but it is intended to be used somewhere else (google maps flutter), and it works properly on its place.
Now guess what! The key which gets into Firebase as "Web API Key" is the first one - Android key (auto created by Firebase). I don't understand too much how different stuff is organized between Firebase and Google Cloud Console, but considering the name of the key, I though that the second one - Browser key (auto created by Firebase) - should find its place as "Web API Key" in Firebase.
Anyway in my particular case the Web API Key from Firebase worked properly in my google-services.json because it was actually the Android key which I needed. I'm writing all this because in some other cases it might not be exactly the same. So, if needed, one should look inside Google Cloud Console > APIs & Services > Credentials > API Keys, and take from there the right Android key (click on "SHOW KEY" on the right), then place it into the Firebase file google-services.json. Hope this can help.
Temporary but working solution. Just downgrade com.google.firebase:firebase-messaging:20.1.2 to com.google.firebase:firebase-messaging:20.1.0. Apperantly, there is some kind of bug in 20.1.1 and 20.1.2 versions. App doesn't crash anymore.
UPDATE (11.04.2020): I tested in com.google.firebase:firebase-messaging:20.1.5 and apperantly problem has been fixed.
UPDATE (26.04.2020):
I found a permanent solution. First upgrade firebase dependencies to com.google.firebase:firebase-messaging:20.1.6. After that download google-services.json from firebase. Replace it with the current one. After that build > clean project otherwise you can get
API key expired. Please renew the API key
error. There is no problem with the key, it's some kind of bug of Google. If you completed these steps, add following code into onCreate of your top Application class which is you declared in manifest at the application tag.
FirebaseOptions options = new FirebaseOptions.Builder()
.setApplicationId("APP ID") // Required for Analytics.
.setProjectId("PROJECT ID") // Required for Firebase Installations.
.setApiKey("GOOGLE API KEY") // Required for Auth.
.build();
FirebaseApp.initializeApp(this, options, "FIREBASE APP NAME");
You can found your app id in the firebase > project settings. Also if you're debugging, don't forget to add the debug SHA-256 key to firebase.
Now I don't get crash anymore. Firebase services work perfectly.
If you have recently changed google-services.json file, you need to remove build file of your project and rebuild the project.
update: I got this error when I was testing my app in debug mode. In release version it was solved and worked correctly.

The FIS_AUTH_ERROR means Authentication for Firebase installation sdk has failed. If you use a service that depends on Firebase installation sdk (or FIS), you need a valid authorization.
According to Firebase cloud messaging v20.1.1 release note:
Apps that use the Firebase auto-initialization process and the Gradle plugin to convert google-services.json into resources are unaffected. However, apps that create their own FirebaseOptions instances must provide a valid API key, Firebase project ID, and application ID.
So if you (or a service using fcm added by you) uses FirebaseOptions, it has to pass some additional values for the FIS.
Solutions
Downgrade to v20.1.0 of firebase-messaging (Not recommended though. It's like running from the problem)
Provide additional keys if you use FirebaseOptions
I found a solution to this problem
1) in Android Studio , in left panel "Project" swich Android view to Project view
2) copy file google-services.json NOT into "app" folder (like it says in instruction) ... but copy this file into the upper root folder
and it will work
In addition to Steeve's answer, the Firebase Messaging credentials should be restricted to these 3 Selected APIs:
Firebase Cloud Messaging API
Firebase Installations API
FCM Registration API
Go to the credentials on Google Cloud Console (APIs & Services -> Credentials), Click on the relevant key and select the 3 APIs above.
If you restrict usage to your Android apps, make sure to add SHA-1 fingerprints for your specific app. If you use internal app sharing, make sure to also add the SHA-1 of the internal app bundle as described here.
The correct fix is to add "Firebase Installations API" to the restrictions of your Google API Key (see google-services.json).
In your Google Cloud console, it's in APIs & Services, then Credentials. Open the API Key is look at "Restrictions".
No need to recompile.
This is for sure, (if you finished all configuration) then version of firebase messaging is not compatible with other dependencies.
you can check dependencies here, my solution was to downgrade from implementation 'com.google.firebase:firebase-messaging:20.1.3' to implementation 'com.google.firebase:firebase-messaging:20.1.0'
#mahdi-malv, #ambrose-bako, #steeve are right.
Firebase Android SDK updates on February 27 (M65) and afterwards introduced a new infrastructure service, the Firebase Installations SDK which comes with a dependency on the Firebase Installations API.
Firebase Installations requires valid Firebase options API key, project ID, and application ID (a.k.a. "appId") in order to successfully communicate with Firebase servers.
Errors during communication with the Firebase Installations API indicate invalid Firebase options or misconfigurations regarding API keys.
To mitigate the issue
make sure that your application is using valid Firebase options from the latest google-services.json file from your Firebase console:
Firebase options: instructions and background.
If you use API restrictions, make sure that the API key used by your application is white-listed for the Firebase Installations API (and for your application):
API restrictions: instructions and background
Regarding Application restrictions: Either set the radio button to None or make sure that your app is white-listed (with the correct SHA-1 certificate).
For details, please visit:
https://firebase.google.com/support/privacy/init-options
Just in case, renamed the package name, deleted google-services.json,
and going into firebase checked firebase-database (read\write).
Then deleted the old package and its hash from the firebase project settings,
after adding a new package and hash, received a new google-services.json, after that everything worked
I think the error is that a package was specified in firebase but there was no hash
Hope this helps someone:
In my situation, I used self-signed ca.
So I need to use network-security-config.xml
After huge try and error, finally I add system directory in trust-anchors like below, FIS_AUTH_ERROR is gone and Firebase worked.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<network-security-config>
<base-config>
<trust-anchors>
<certificates src="system" /> <!-- for Firebase -->
<certificates src="user" /> <!-- for tooling. Ex:Charles -->
<certificates src="#raw/ca_1"/> <!-- my self-signed ca-->
</trust-anchors>
</base-config>
</network-security-config>
For me, it just was:
build > clean project
Because I was changing google-services.json file many times.
Maybe a bit late, but hopefully this info may help someone out there.
I had the problem too with firebase-messaging:21.0.1.
I followed all the instructions given in this thread, but nothing helped.
What was curious is that before the error E/FirebaseInstanceId: Topic sync or token retrieval failed on hard failure exceptions: FIS_AUTH_ERROR. Won't retry the operation
appeared the logcat showed Firebase Installations Service is unavailable.
After some investigation the solution was as follows.
I used a self-signed certificate on my dev-server and trusted it in my app as described here: https://developer.android.com/training/articles/security-ssl.html#CommonProblems
Somehow this broke the whole SSL handshake stuff in android and I couldn't authenticate to the Firebase Installations Service anymore.
After removing this and using plain http for my dev environment everything works again like a charm. (of course, for my prod server I'm using a ROOT trusted certificate, so no problems here)
I had fight with this exception almost 2 days, and now solved.
First make sure the restrictions API as mentioned Ambrose's answer
add ALL SHA-1 on firebase console and cloud console credential,
in my case I need 4 SHA-1, from:
debug keystore
release keystore
firebase distribution (if using .AAB )
release certified from playstore's signing like this:
I think add the last SHA-1 to cloud console make my app works nicely.
Hope this answer will help other.
Happy code!
I had the same problem when I redownloaded Android Studio on a new computer. I hadn't set up Google Play services in my SDK Tools, and my emulator didn't have the Google Play store. See this discussion https://github.com/firebase/firebase-android-sdk/issues/1286#issuecomment-951403455
Also note that FirebaseInstanceId requires Google Play services to
create a token and it will fail on devices without it.
After creating a new Emulator with Google Play and restarting my IDE, the problem was solved.
you need to add
apply plugin: 'com.google.gms.google-services'
implementation platform('com.google.firebase:firebase-bom:x.x.x')
implementation 'com.google.firebase:firebase-analytics'
to your app/build.gradle ,
these code will give to you when create google.services file on firebase console
To remove this line:
FirebaseApp.initializeApp(getApplicationContext());
and let the SDK auto-initialize with the google-services.json solved it for me.
it's very-very confused, how I search a soltion for this error (with FIS_AUTH_ERROR), but with #Andreas Rayo Kniep's answer, especially with CURL command test, I know what's wrong with my problem.
CURL command to test firebase conf :
curl -H "content-type: application/json" -d "{appId: 'YOUR-APP-ID', sdkVersion: 't:1'}" https://firebaseinstallations.googleapis.com/v1/projects/PROJECT-NAME/installations/?key=API-KEY;
I must change API key at google-services.json, because it's status : PERMISSION_DENIED, message : Requests from referer are blocked.
so I create new API key from google console, with restrict API for : Cloud Messaging, FCM Registration API, Firebase Cloud Messaging API, Firebase Installations API.
and application restriction : None.
and problem was fixed!
I use :
com.google.firebase:firebase-messaging:20.1.0
firebase_messaging: ^10.0.2
In my case Crashlytics reports this only on a few Samsung devices, I think this is something with how Google services are implemented on certain Samsung devices so there is not much you can do.
Best solution worked for me is upgrading dependencies and clean & re-build project
Tried all solutions above. They didn't work for me. But then I deleted the app from the device and installed again. This helped.
Method 1
Go to your google cloud console https://console.cloud.google.com/
Then choose your project and check auto-created by firebase token in credentials -> API keys. Select your key and check if there are any restrictions you have to configure. Clear the restrictions and again build your app newly.
Method 2
Check your fingerprints -> project settings -> in firebase console and cross check with your keystore file's fingerprint algorithms. Then download your new google-services.json file and replace it with your existing file in android/app
For me, I forgot we had implemented SSL pinning in the early stages of our app, so we had to download and trust the root Google Trust Services CA.
Thanks to this GitHub thread for reminding me to consider SSL pinning: https://github.com/invertase/react-native-firebase/issues/5522#issuecomment-884960850
I guess a good giveaway was that curl would work fine, but it would fail on Android.
I was getting this error when I installed the application on my phone. The emulator did not give an error. I tried almost every solution, but in my case it was enough to delete the application, compile and build it again. I realized this after 1 day
My dependencies :
implementation platform('com.google.firebase:firebase-bom:26.4.0')
implementation 'com.google.firebase:firebase-crashlytics'
implementation 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-auth:16.0.1'
implementation 'com.google.firebase:firebase-analytics:17.3.0'
implementation 'com.google.firebase:firebase-installations:17.0.1'
implementation "com.google.android.gms:play-services-base:16.1.0"
implementation "com.google.firebase:firebase-core:16.0.8"
implementation "com.google.firebase:firebase-messaging:20.1.0"
After having tried all above suggestions, the only way I could fix this was to create a new Firebase project.
The problem started for me after creating a new Angular Ionic project as a way to upgrade to Angular 14, Capacitor 4 and Ionic 6.
Copying the same google-service.json to the new project (along with all src code files) and adjusting the package/applicationId in build.gradle and AndroidManifest.xml - created this issue.
Anyways, as said, a 3 minutes new Firebase project process resolved everything eventually.
You should use the following code to obtain SHA 1 and SHA 256 and go to the Firebase panel and add new SHAs there and also download and replace the Firebase Jason file again and clean and rebuild the project. Do it and this way your problem will be solved.
The code to get SHA is below.
keytool -list -v -keystore "I:\AndroidProject\Busnet\example.jks" -alias example -storepass example -keypass example
Add the fingerprints from the play store.
Replace the google-services.json.
It worked for me.
I started getting this all of a sudden when running integration tests on a local emulator. Turns out it had something to do with the hotel wifi I was on. I tethered to my phone and it started working again.
sometimes it's too simple to be realized.
in my case, that happened because of missing INTERNET CONNECTION

I am getting this error of Firebase auth but error is not going to solve in any way

I modified Q-municate powered by QuickBlox (which is open source) GitHub code and I put my own credentials to Firebase authentication but I am getting this error. I put all credentials, but still, I do not know what the error is.
I put all these credentials but it's still giving an error and also mentioned in the image about the error.
Project ID:
APP ID:
Package name:
These things I put in the project. Can anybody tell what the error mentioned in image is?
In current version of Q-municate (2.5) you need just add new parameter devFirebaseAuthProjectId=\"xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx\" to file q-municate-android/Q-municate_app/gradle.properties. Value for this parameter you can get in Firebase Developer Console, see screenshot: Additionally check SHA1 for your debug key in Firebase Developer Console.

Error when uploading apk to playstore, apk name not valid

I developed my very first android app but when i'm uploading to the Play Store I get the following error:
error
For those not speaking dutch," upload failed, the name of your apk has to be the following format 'com.example.myapp'. I'm guessing I didn't do this but I have no idea how to fix this. I'm using Android Studio 0.6.1
I did search the web but couldn't find a fix.
It is the name of the package of your app i.e bundle identifier. Also example cannot be used in it. For more info: Android - Package Name convention
change the package name
(com.example) is invalid.
use (com.xyz).
xyz means any thing u like but not example

Failed to run aapt dump badging:AndroidManifest.xml is corrupt

I am new to android.
i get this error when i try to upload update of my app to google play.
Failed to run aapt dump badging:W/ResourceType(19538): Bad resource table: header size 0x708b or total size 0x2f2432a is larger than data size 0x1ce1c
ERROR: AndroidManifest.xml is corrupt
i tried ALMOST VERYTHING google fixes.but nothing works.
please help.
It gave me that 'uploading in debuggable mode' thiny too but i managed to fix it.
sorry about my bad english.
I went through the same problem recently (with the very similar error message) and I also had a lot of trouble to solve, but finally I got it like this:
I used the PhoneGap Builder to generate the APK (so I recommend using the same one); Remembering that to test manages the APK with the same blank key (it's the default markup);
After generating, I used Apk-Signer (https://shatter-box.com/knowledgebase/android-apk-signing-tool-apk-signer/) to generate the key (.keystore) - this package serves, too , To sign and align the application; However, for that case I used ONLY to generate the key;
Go back to the Phone Gap, in the Android options, select 'add a key ...', then select your keystore generated in APK-Signer, and activate the rebuild;
Ready! Now just download the APK, go to google play and be happy.
I ran into a similar problem not so long ago it turned out to be an issue with #+id
A similar question has been asked before and got me through my problem, I will link the post as it is very informative.
Android style Resources compile (aapt) failing : Bad resource table: header size 0xc
Hope this helps you, wish you the best of luck.
I'm new to android too, and I had the same problem, and what worked for me was as simple as :
Zipalign the apk file by a tool called "Advanced APK tool" (download it from xda forum)
then reupload apk file to store without any problem detected,
Best of luck!
Try using a latest version of aapt, from your Android SDK directory,
<Android_SDK_directory>/build-tools/<build_tools_version>/aapt
