‘"Default FirebaseApp failed to initialize because no default options were found" error and conflict between Admob and Firestore

Hello everyone,

When I installed Admob and Firestore packages, I was getting the error ‘property#android.adservices.AD_SERVICES_CONFIG@resource=@xml/gma_ad_services_config in com.google.android.gms:play-services-measurement-api:22.1.2 collides with another value’ in the apk build process. As a result of my research, I added the following to the AndroidManifest.xml file to prevent collision:

	<property
        android:name="android.adservices.AD_SERVICES_CONFIG’
        android:resource="@xml/gma_ad_services_config’
        tools:replace=‘android:resource’ />

I added the lines and got the apk build process without any problems. However, although there is no problem in displaying ads, I noticed that I could not use the Firestore service. In my checks with Android Logcat, I saw that the error ‘Default FirebaseApp failed to initialize because no default options were found.’ was received.

The content of unityLibrary\build.gradle is as follows:

> ...
> dependencies {
>     implementation fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])
> // Android Resolver Dependencies Start

I would appreciate your help.

I solved the problem. I was using Unity version 6000.0.23f1. I switched to version 6000.0.27f1. During the apk build process
property#android.adservices.AD_SERVICES_CONFIG@resource=@xml/gma_ad_services_config in com.google.android.gms:play-services-measurement-api:22.1.2 collides with another value
error was persisting. I added the following lines to Plugins/Android/AndroidManifest.xml file and Firestore and Admob worked smoothly:

<manifest
    ...

    <application
        ...

        <property
            android:name="android.adservices.AD_SERVICES_CONFIG’
            android:resource="@xml/gma_ad_services_config’
            tools:replace=‘android:resource’ />
        
        ...
    </application>

    ...
</manifest>

In short, my problem was caused by Unity version 6000.0.23f1.
