Step 1: Get Your SHA-1 Key

The method to retrieve your SHA-1 key depends on how you’re developing your app:

For Debug SHA-1 (Android Studio)

  1. Open a terminal in Android Studio.
  2. Run the following command: ./gradlew signingReport
  3. Look for SHA1 under the debug section.

For Release SHA-1 (Production APK)

  1. If using a release keystore, run: keytool -list -v -keystore path-to-keystore.jks -alias your-key-alias -storepass your-store-password -keypass your-key-password
    • Replace path-to-keystore.jks with your actual keystore file path.
    • Replace your-key-alias, your-store-password, and your-key-password with your credentials.

For Play Store (If Using App Signing by Google Play)

  1. Go to Google Play Console.
  2. Navigate to Setup > App Integrity.
  3. Copy the SHA-1 certificate fingerprint.

Step 2: Add SHA-1 Key in Firebase Console

  1. Go to Firebase Console.
  2. Select your project.
  3. Click on the settings icon ⚙️ > Project settings.
  4. Go to the “General” tab.
  5. Scroll down to “Your apps” and select the Android app you registered.
  6. Under “SHA certificate fingerprints,” click “Add Fingerprint.”
  7. Paste the SHA-1 key you obtained earlier.
  8. Click Save.

Now your app should be able to authenticate users using Google Sign-In! 🚀
