Can't see "My Registries" window after i implement Firebase Scoped Registry!

After I implement the Google LLC Scoped Registry with the URL: “https://unityregistry-pa.googleapis.com” and Scope “com.google”
to connect unity to Firebase, i cannot see the “My Registries” window, which is needed to implement Firebase Authentication and all the firebase Referrences. I tried doing this on multiple LTS versions of Unity like 2020.3.5f1, 2020.3.3f1, 2020.3.15f2, and even 2020.1.17f1. Still nothing. I managed to find the “My Registries” window in 2020.3.3f1 once a few months ago, but now i can’t get it to work. My “google-services.json” file is correct so that is not the problem. Also i get the Warining “File C:\Users\MyName.android\repositories.cfg could not be loaded.
System.Threading.ThreadHelper:ThreadStart ()”

to get the bug–
start a firebase app and try with this tutorial that i followed “Firebase & Unity | Login & Register | Advanced Account Tutorial #1 - YouTube

For anyone who comes across this answer, or the blog post Managing the Firebase Unity Plugin, the easy way


Google is no longer supporting or serving UPM packages

discussion can be found in this github issue:


The Solution

is to use git urls, as mentioned by this original comment, as well as my own update:

You can still use the git urls, but the only way I was able to make them work was by manually modifying manifest.json, I was not able to use any form of github url in the unity editor gui (note the use of git+https://):

{
    "dependencies": {
    ...
    "com.google.external-dependency-manager": "git+https://github.com/GameWorkstore/com.google.external-dependency-manager#1.2.172",
    "com.google.firebase.app": "git+https://github.com/GameWorkstore/com.google.firebase.app#9.1.0",
    "com.google.firebase.auth": "git+https://github.com/GameWorkstore/com.google.firebase.auth#9.1.0"
  }
}
