Firebase Services not working with Firebase Test Lab devices due to the APK is being re-sign

I am doing a test with Firebase Test Lab but the emulator cannot continue most likely due to having problem with Firebase SDK. The app cannot continue after the splash screen because it need Remote Config to fetch successfully if failed then AlertDialog is shown.

I checked the app-debug.apk SHA and it was the same as what is registered in the Firebase project and Cloud console and I can run it locally on my device.

Solution

  • Your Roboscript fails because the app fails to start properly and thus, Roboscript cannot perform its actions.

    If Remote Config fails to fetch due to your app's APK being re-signed, then you can make Robo try to crawl your app without re-signing the APK by making sure that your app stops when Remote Config fails to fetch without any additional dialogs (shown in your crawl graph). In FTL, when Robo detects that an app could not be crawled after being re-signed, it will attempt to crawl it without re-signing.
