I couldn't figure out how to label this issue, so I've labeled it for a human to triage. Hang tight.

Thanks for filing this issue @gitton. The error message is similar to #944. Our engineering team continues to investigate the issue internally using this bug#144577889. I'll let you know as soon as I have more information.

[gitton]

Thank you for the quick response.

Hi @gitton The issue has been fixed and indentified. The fix compose of better error handling that deals with network exceptions. However, I may not be able provide you with any specifics as to when will the fix be released in production. For now, try to catch the issue manually. Once the fix goes live, you'll not need to update to the new SDK version.

I'll close this when the fix is in prod.

@aguatno AFAIK the code number 7 refers to CommonStatusCodes.NETWORK_ERROR from https://developers.google.com/android/reference/com/google/android/gms/common/api/CommonStatusCodes
Since there also exist other errors which could apply, are you intending to pass us the CommonStatusCode which raised the FirebaseException? Or how about extending CommonStatusCodes like GoogleSignInStatusCodes is doing it? Any ETA on when the fix will be available?

[aguatno]

Thanks for waiting. I got confirmation that this issue can be considered fixed externally. They just need to be using the newest release of Google Play services. SDK upgrade will not be needed.

Closing this issue, please let us know if it's still happening and we can re-open it.
