Why does Firebase.auth.currentUser becomes invalid when I insert implementation 'com.google.firebase:firebase-admin:6.13.0' into Gradle?

Question

Why does val user = Firebase.auth.currentUser (which .currentUser) become invalid when I insert implementation 'com.google.firebase:firebase-admin:6.13.0' into Gradle?

Before importing implementation 'com.google.firebase:firebase-admin:6.13.0':

After importing implementation 'com.google.firebase:firebase-admin:6.13.0', auth's method become admin's method. It seems Firebase-admin conflicts with FirebaseAuth. Why?

CurrentUser only exists in the Firebase Android SDK. You cannot use both Android SDK and Admin SDK together. They have conflicting packages/classes. Specifically, you cannot use the Admin SDK in an Android or any client-side application.
