API-Key restrictions may need to be updated with new version of Firebase Android SDKs.

What happened?

The following SDKs updates introduce a dependency on the Firebase Installations API, a new infrastructure service for Firebase:

  • Analytics
  • Cloud Messaging
  • Remote Config
  • In-App Messaging
  • A/B Testing
  • Performance Monitoring
  • ML Kit
  • Instance ID

As a result, API restrictions you may have applied to API keys used by your Firebase applications may have to be updated to allow your apps to call the Firebase Installations API.

What do I need to do?

Before upgrading your application(s) to the latest SDK version, please make sure that the API key(s) used in your application(s) are whitelisted for the Firebase Installations API:

  1. Open the Google Cloud Platform Console.
  2. Choose the project you use for your application(s).
  3. Open APIs & Services and select Credentials.
  4. Click Edit API Key (pencil icon) for the API key in question.
  5. Scroll down to the API restrictions section.
  6. From the dropdown menu, add the Firebase Installations API to the list of permitted APIs, and click Save.
  7. If the radio button shows Don't restrict key, you may be looking at the wrong API key.
    You can check which API key is used for the Firebase Installations API by looking at the service usage page for your project.

Note: Verify your fix by checking if you can see successful 200 requests increasing on the Firebase Installations API request metrics page.
Note: If you cannot find the Firebase Installations API in the list of APIs, you might first have to enable the API for your project (to do so click here).
