(Please list the full steps to reproduce the issue. Include device logs, Unity logs, and stack traces if available.)
I'm getting an exception:
E/firebase: Unable to find Method com/google/firebase/remoteconfig/FirebaseRemoteConfig.activateFetched (signature '()Z', instance). Please verify the AAR which contains the com/google/firebase/remoteconfig/FirebaseRemoteConfig class is included in your app.
things seemed to be working with firebase version 6.16.1 before today but today things stopped working and I think it's related to new firebase arr files that are being used:

new files:

    <file>Assets/Plugins/Android/com.google.firebase.firebase-abt-20.0.0.aar</file>
    <file>Assets/Plugins/Android/com.google.firebase.firebase-analytics-18.0.0.aar</file>
    <file>Assets/Plugins/Android/com.google.firebase.firebase-auth-20.0.0.aar</file>
    <file>Assets/Plugins/Android/com.google.firebase.firebase-config-20.0.0.aar</file>
    <file>Assets/Plugins/Android/com.google.firebase.firebase-iid-21.0.0.aar</file>
    <file>Assets/Plugins/Android/com.google.firebase.firebase-messaging-21.0.0.aar</file>

old files:
```
Assets/Plugins/Android/com.google.firebase.firebase-abt-19.1.0.aar
Assets/Plugins/Android/com.google.firebase.firebase-analytics-17.6.0.aar
Assets/Plugins/Android/com.google.firebase.firebase-auth-19.4.0.aar
Assets/Plugins/Android/com.google.firebase.firebase-config-19.2.0.aar
Assets/Plugins/Android/com.google.firebase.firebase-iid-20.3.0.aar
Assets/Plugins/Android/com.google.firebase.firebase-messaging-20.3.0.aar

This seems similar to the issue with crashlytics: https://github.com/firebase/quickstart-unity/issues/758
Why does it use a higher version of the arr file than the one that is supported by the unity sdk?

[lfg-ryan]

It looks like it should be calling 'activate' instead of 'activateFetched'.

We keep running into these issues where the Unity package is calling old deprecated functions.

Does anyone have a work around?

[lfg-ryan]

As mentioned this seems to be the same issue as

#758

In this case. Unity RemoteConfig package is expecting 19.2.0. I assume that no longer exists. it resolves to 2.0.0 which removed the deprecated call 'activateFetched'.

Going to try the same workaround as 758. I will again note these workarounds prevent us from using tools like Unity Cloud Build so we need to find a long-term solution to this kind of error.

[cszhongit]

I meet the same question.It's too bad.

Putting this file in a folder called Editor should solve the problem for now.

this is a great answer ,it's useful for me .Thank you!

Y'all have done an excellent job identifying the symptom: firebase-config has somehow gotten pinned to 20.0.0. Then, because of changes to remote config on Android, we should be calling activate rather than activateFetched. This should not happen though, and in my testing it does not with the combination of Firebase plugins mentioned in the OP. There are a lot of you running into this though, so I really want to try to work out what's happening.

For my first two questions:

1. can any of you reproduce it in the test app?
2. if you force resolve dependencies, is it still occuring (I noticed that @lfg-ryan posited that maybe 19.2.0 doesn't exist and it automatically upgraded. This is not currently the issue, but maybe it was a temporary one?).
   

I see that all reporters are using the Package Manager to manage Firebase. Are you also all resolving dependencies into Assets/Plugins/Android or are some of you using the mainTemplate.gradle. Can you try adding a mainTemplate.gradle and gradleTemplate.properties (you need both) then resolving again (you'll need to restart Unity in some cases to build).

If you look in mainTemplate.gradle, you should see versions and what Dependencies.xml file requested the version in question. Can you confirm that you're seeing firebase-config:20.0.0 rather than 19.2.0 as I am, and tell me what Dependencies.xml file is bringing it in (in my sample, RemoteConfigDependencies.xml):

    implementation 'com.google.firebase:firebase-config:19.2.0' // Assets/Firebase/Editor/RemoteConfigDependencies.xml:13
    implementation 'com.google.firebase:firebase-config-unity:6.16.1' // Assets/Firebase/Editor/RemoteConfigDependencies.xml:20

Finally, in the "Android Resolver Settings" window, if you're still running into issues, can you turn on "Verbose Logging". Then force resolve the dependencies and paste your Unity editor log?

EDM4U should print out debug information that can help us track down the issue.

@mgrogin

I'm afraid that this does seems to be similar to #758 where some other packages forced EDM4U to bump up the version. I installed all Firebase plugins you mentioned and was not able to reproduce the issue. Therefore, I suspect this is related to other packages, such as IronSource.

Could you provide the text in the windows when you click on Assets > External Dependency Manager > Android Resolver > Display Libraries? This gives us insight about all the dependencies EDM4U is trying to resolve.

In general, when you are using Gradle 5, which is the one EDM4U is using now, com.google.firebase:firebase-config:19.2.0 means any version above 19.2.0 and less than but not including 20.0.0. That is, normally it should not resolve to 20.0.0 unless EDM4U kept finding version range conflict and change com.google.firebase:firebase-config:19.2.0 to com.google.firebase:firebase-config:+. You probably should see similar log as well.

Your script which change com.google.firebase:firebase-config:19.2.0 to com.google.firebase:firebase-config:[19.2.0] should make it work for Firebase. However, you may disable some other packages, which may expect higher version of Android libraries. Not necessary to be firebase-config, but something like GMS libraries or Play libraries.

I would recommend you to downgrade other packages instead.
