Firebase-android-sdk: Run firebase on Device without Google play service.

[wangjiejacques]

What feature would you like to see?

For now, my app is not able to run on devices without google play service, it is not ideal, as a lot of my users use android device without google play service.

@wangjiejacques thanks for the feedback. Actually all of the SDKs that have been open-sourced in this repository _should_ work on devices without Play services, although we don't extensively test that use case.

Can I ask which Firebase services you're not able to use on devices without Play services? I assume Firebase Authentication, which is the most commonly requested.

@samedson yes, you are right, when I try to login with phone number, it shows me title: Update Google Play services, Message: XX won't run unless you update Google Play services.

Has the same issue. The notification always show "update Google play service" message even I didn't call any firebase init function.

I will not receive any notification after remove firebase performance library

I am going to close this issue since there's nothing that can be done in this repo to fix it. That said, we are definitely aware of this request and working to make more of our SDKs available for devices without Play services!
