FirebaseUI-Android: Sign-in intent gets suck and never launched

Describe your environment

• Android device: Samsung Note10 Plus
• Android OS version: 12
• Google Play Services version: _____
• Firebase SDK version: 26.3.0
• FirebaseUI version: 7.1.1

Step 3: Describe the problem:

Some users reported the authentication picker activity is not loaded. When they tap on the button which launches the sign-in intent they get stuck.

Steps to reproduce:

I couldn’t replicate it on my device.

Observed Results:

I guessed it might be related to Google Smart lock, so I asked the users to remove the credentials or app or even disable it but they didn’t help.

Relevant Code:

  private void onLoginButton(View view) {
      ...
      startActivityForResult(buildSignInIntent(), RC_SIGN_IN);
      ...
  }

  @NonNull
  private Intent buildSignInIntent() {
      List<AuthUI.IdpConfig> selectedProviders = new ArrayList<>();
      selectedProviders.add(new AuthUI.IdpConfig.EmailBuilder().build());
      selectedProviders.add(new AuthUI.IdpConfig.FacebookBuilder().build());
      selectedProviders.add(new AuthUI.IdpConfig.GoogleBuilder().build());

      AuthUI.SignInIntentBuilder builder = AuthUI.getInstance().createSignInIntentBuilder()
              .setLogo(AuthUI.NO_LOGO)
              .setTheme(R.style.AppTheme)
              .setIsSmartLockEnabled(!BuildConfig.DEBUG /* credentials */, true /* hints */)
              .setAvailableProviders(selectedProviders);

      AuthMethodPickerLayout customLayout = new AuthMethodPickerLayout
              .Builder(R.layout.fragment_register)
              .setGoogleButtonId(R.id.custom_google_signin_button)
              .setEmailButtonId(R.id.custom_email_signin_button)
              .setFacebookButtonId(R.id.custom_facebook_signin_button)
              .setTosAndPrivacyPolicyId(R.id.custom_tos)
              .build();

      builder.setAuthMethodPickerLayout(customLayout);

      builder.setTosAndPrivacyPolicyUrls(Constants.TermsOfUseURL, Constants.PrivacyPolicyURL);

      return builder.build();
  }
