How to hide "InstanceID Token:" box that my Android app displays when loading

I started to use Firebase for push notifications and in order to do that, I had to upgrade several Google libraries. Everything works correctly for me now but one thing that I noticed was that when my app loaded, on the first screen it was displaying a box that said InstanceID Token: and it displayed a token. I do not want that box and I have not written anything in the code for that box and token to appear. Where does it come from? Is it something that Firebase or maybe a Facebook plugin or another plugin does automatically? How can I remove that? I searched for System.out.println() statements and InstanceID Token: keywords in my source code, trying to find what could be making that box to appear, but I could not find anything. It was not happening to my app before the upgrades to Firebase for push notifications. Anyone experiencing a similar situation and knowing how to fix it?

Note: It appears for about 2 seconds when the app is loading and then it disappears by itself. See the screenshot below:

Any hints will be helpful. Thank you.

Solution

  • You probably have a Toast displaying the Instance ID. Search for something like Toast.makeText.
