E : Failed to get service from broker. java.lang.SecurityException: Unknown calling package name 'com.google.android.gms'

Question

I had recently integrated FireStore into my Flutter application and got the following error on launch:

java.lang.SecurityException: Unknown calling package name 'com.google.android.gms'.
    at android.os.Parcel.readException(Parcel.java:2016)

Please provide enough code so others can better understand or reproduce the problem. — Community

Welcome to StackOverflow. Without details about your flutter application, what libraries did you include, how did you test (emulator, device, OS version) there isn't enough information for anyone to help. — Morrison Chang

When using Firebase Authentication:

Make sure your Android SDK is up to date. You can do this from Android Studio:

Go to Tools > SDK Manager.
Check the installed SDK components.
If any have updates available, update them.

Updating the SDK resolved the problem for me.

When using Firebase Firestore: I discovered there were conflicting versions of Google Play Services installed. To check this:

Use the following ADB command to list the installed versions:

adb shell dumpsys package com.google.android.gms | grep versionName

In my case, I saw two versions:
versionName=25.08.32
versionName=24.23.35

To fix the conflict:

Open your device Settings.
Go to Apps > Google Play Services.
Reset Google Play Services to the default (base) version.
Run the ADB command again to confirm that only one version remains (in my case, versionName=24.23.35).

After this cleanup, the error disappeared.
