Faced the same problem when added Firebase dependencies to my project.

java.lang.SecurityException: Unknown calling package name 'com.google.android.gms'

Solve this by updating installed SDKs: Tool -> SDK Manager -> (in my case) Android API 35 ->

Android SDK Platform 35 and Google Play Intel x86_64 Atom System Image <- updating one of this SDK was solve this exception.

UPD1: Ok, solution above help me fix this error with Firebase Authentication, but when I started working directly with Firestore database it appear again.

UPD2: Found solution here for Firestore db gms error:

  1. check installed packages with adb command ( adb shell dumpsys package com.google.android.gms | grep versionName ) if found two versions ->

  2. go to emulator/device settings and reset Google Play Services.

Try these steps:

  1. Check Permissions:

Ensure that you have INTERNET permission, add this line to androidManifes.xml

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />
  1. Update Google Play Services:

Ensure that the Google Play Services library in your app is up-to-date. You can do this by updating the dependencies in your build.gradle file.

implementation 'com.google.android.gms:play-services:17.0.0'

you can check play-servies latest version here

Where'd you see version 17.0.0? I'm looking at maven.google.com/web/… and only see 12.0.1 :)
@opyate updated the answer.
no such implementation as 'com.google.android.gms:play-services'. And how is "com.google.firebase:firebase-bom:33.12.0" relevant here? I already have that and Im getting this error.

As of August 2025, @munsif even if you get the correct version you will get class dublicate error when compiling.

This is the tried and proven fix:

Do not use this lib:

implementation 'com.google.android.gms:play-services:17.0.0'

This is the correct lib:

implementation("com.google.android.gms:play-services-maps:17.0.0")

Why you ask? This will not cause dublicate errors.

By this type check the latest version.
