The latest updates to play-services-base and play-services-tasks resolve the issue that can lead to runtime NPEs (NullPointerException) when handling Task<Void> results in Kotlin code. If you're using any of the library versions listed in the December 09, 2021 release, you can avoid the runtime NPEs by explicitly depending on v18.0.1 of play-services-base and play-services-tasks. Add the following to the dependencies section of your build.gradle:
```
implementation 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-base:18.0.1'
implementation 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-tasks:18.0.1'
```
In January 2022, we plan to release new versions of the other artifacts released on December 09 with new POM dependencies on the 18.0.1 versions of play-services-base and play-services-tasks.
The latest update to Firebase includes changes to:
- Firebase Android BoM (Bill of Materials)
- Firebase SDK for Google Analytics
This Firebase release picks up the latest versions of play-services-base and play-services-tasks (v18.0.1) to fix the issue described in the December 09, 2021 release.

For more information, see the Firebase Android SDK Release Notes.

The libraries released with this update (see the "Artifacts released" section below) have known issues that can lead to runtime NPEs (NullPointerException) when handling Task<Void> results in Kotlin code. We strongly recommend that you instead use the latest version of each library (see release notes above).

The latest updates to several libraries include the following change:
- Strict nullability annotations (@NonNull and @Nullable) are being used where previously @RecentlyNonNull and @RecentlyNullable were used. With this change, what once caused a nullness warning will now cause an error when building Kotlin code or using Java null checking frameworks. Similar annotation changes will be incrementally rolled out in future releases of other com.google.android.gms artifacts.
Review the "Artifacts released" section for a full list of affected libraries.
The latest updates to the play-services-base, play-services-basement, and play-services-tasks libraries include the strict nullability annotation changes described above, as well as these additional changes:
- Removed deprecated fitness constants from Scopes.
- Added withTimeout() utilty method to Tasks

In preparation for enforcing strict nullability, we added @RecentlyNonNull and @RecentlyNullable annotations to several SDKs that previously did not explicitly define nullability. This change will cause warnings on null safety violations.

This change provides better Kotlin interoperability and better static null checking for apps that use Java null checking frameworks.

Similar additions of @RecentlyNonNull and @RecentlyNullable will be incrementally rolled out in future releases of other com.google.android.gms artifacts.

The latest updates to play-services-nearby (v18.0.0) include the following changes:
- Added @NonNull and @Nullable annotations in the API surface which may break Kotlin apps that did not previously handle null values in a safe way (see Kotlin documentation about Null-safety).
- Changed ConnectionsClient to be an interface instead of an abstract class.
- Changed ConnectionsClient#MAX_BYTES_DATA_SIZE to be final.
- Added ConnectionInfo#getAuthenticationDigits() to get the 4-digit human-readable authentication token that was provided to both devices.
- Added support for sensitive file transfer with Payload#isSensitive() and Payload#setSensitive(boolean) to restrict other APPs from accessing a shared file.
- Added support for the disruptive upgrade feature. This feature is enabled by default. The client can disable it with AdvertisingOptions.Builder#setDisruptiveUpgrade(boolean) and ConnectionOptions.Builder#setDisruptiveUpgrade(boolean), which prevents the originally connected Wi-Fi network from being disabled or disconnected during the upgrade progress.
- Deprecated Payload.File#close() and Payload.Stream#close().
Updates the Google Mobile Ads Android SDK and Firebase Ads SDK. For more information, refer to the product release notes.

The latest updates to play-services-basement, play-services-tasks, and play-services-base include the following changes:
- In preparation for enforcing strict nullability, we've added @RecentlyNonNull and @RecentlyNullable annotations where the base and basement SDKs previously did not explicitly define nullability. This provides better Kotlin interoperability, as well as better static null checking for anyone using Java null checking frameworks. Similar additions of @RecentlyNonNull and @RecentlyNullable will be incrementally rolled out in releases of com.google.android.gms artifacts.
- When an API call fails due to a connection issue between the app and Google Play services, the failing ConnectionResult is now accessible from the Status of the ApiException.
- In certain situations where a device does not have valid Google Play services, API calls will fail faster instead of waiting for user acknowledgement.
- Added new GoogleApiAvailability#getErrorDialog overloads that accept a Fragment.
- Deprecated Tasks#call methods in favor of TaskCompletionSource.
- Internal updates for other Google Play services APIs.

March 19, 2020

The latest updates to play-services-basement, play-services-tasks, and play-services-base include the following changes:
- Adds "non-semver-breaking" nullability annotations to the API surface
For example, GoogleApiAvailability#makeGooglePlayServicesAvailable now returns a @NonNull Task so that the Kotlin compiler treats it as non-null instead of a platform type. However, the Activity parameter passed to it is not marked @NonNull (even though it is effectively non-null) so that this change does not break Kotlin code that passes in an Activity?.
- Internal updates for other Play services libraries.

Updated the FIDO2 API according to the latest WebAuthn spec. Developers can use the FIDO2 APIS to strongly authenticate their users with two types of authenticators: external U2F authenticators and the supported device-resident "embedded" authenticator.
Removed constructors from Fido2ApiClient and Fido2PrivilegedApiClient. These classes should be instantiated through the static factories in Fido.
Renamed MakeCredentialOptions and BrowserMakeCredentialOptions to PublicKeyCredentialCreationOptions and and BrowserPublicKeyCredentialCreationOptions respectively.
Augmented RequestOptions with an AuthenticationExtensions member that allows the caller to dictate client-side behavior when conducting a registration or authentication ceremony. Currently, only the FidoAppIdExtension is supported. Over time, more extensions may be supported depending on the use case.
Added Builder for AuthenticatorSelectionCriteria.
Changed Builders for PublicKeyCredentialRequestOptions, BrowserPublicKeyCredentialRequestOptions.
Removed Builders for API response-level objects AuthenticatorAttestationResponse, AuthenticatorAssertionResponse, AuthenticatorErrorResponse.
Added enumerations of RSA and EC2 algorithms from the COSE registry to employ in PublicKeyCredentialParameters.
Added AttestationConveyancePreference, which specifies the level of obfuscation of the attestation object returned in a registration ceremony.
Renamed and restructured the former TokenBindingIdValue to TokenBinding.
Augmented and/or updated other data structures to represent WebAuthn draft WD11. For instance, the "user id" field in PublicKeyCredentialUserEntity has been updated to be a byte[] rather than a String. Please be sure to update your implementation accordingly.

Core libraries minor feature updates.

Minor internal feature updates were made to some core libraries (play-services-auth, play-services-base, play-services-basement, play-services-flags, play-services-stats, play-services-tasks) used by other Google Play services libraries.
The strict interdependencies between the core libraries were relaxed so that minor and patch versions can be used individually. Previously the POM files for these libraries specified their dependencies at exact versions, which complicates resolution of dependencies.
The core library dependency changes necessitated releasing a full set of libraries that have updated versions in their POM dependencies. Non-core libraries do not have any external changes except to update their transitive dependencies.
Bug fixes and internal improvements to firebase-database and firebase-firestore.

Artifacts released on maven.google.com

The following libraries have code changes:
com.google.android.gms:play-services-auth:16.0.1
com.google.android.gms:play-services-base:16.0.1

com.google.firebase:firebase-database:16.0.3

The following libraries have no code changes, only POM dependency updates. The new releases were incremented by a patch version, except when the library was below version 16.0.0. Libraries below 16.0.0 were incremented to 16.0.0 in accordance with the May 23rd note:

May 23, 2018

Version Ranges Removed

Starting with the 15.0.0 release of Google Play services and Firebase, inter-library dependencies were defined using version ranges in the POMs. This affected the build reproducibility of projects using these libraries. As an example, Gradle's dependency resolution will attempt to use the highest available concrete version in a repository, causing uplift of a dependency version without any changes to the project itself.

The use of version ranges was a mistake and has been corrected; Google Play services and Firebase dependencies will no longer use version ranges. However, existing, published library POM files already contain ranges. Thus, all future library updates will need to start outside the dependency ranges of previously published libraries.

Example:

If play-services-bar had a dependency onto play-services-foo with range [15.0.0, 16.0.0), a new release of play-services-foo must begin with 16.0.0 to be outside this range.
Any future releases of play-services-bar will declare a "soft" requirement onto a single version of play-services-foo.
Any future release of play-services-foo will follow SemVer.

Firebase

The latest update to Firebase includes API changes for Cloud Firestore, Cloud Storage, Firebase Authentication, Firebase Realtime Database, and Machine Learning. For more information, see Firebase Android SDK Release Notes.
Firebase now requires the app gradle file to explicitly list com.google.firebase:firebase-core as a dependency for Firebase services to work as expected.

May 8, 2018

Firebase

The latest update to Firebase includes additions to Firebase Performance Monitoring and the release of the ML Kit for Firebase beta. For more information, read the Firebase Android SDK Release Notes.

May 2, 2018

Firebase

The latest update to Firebase includes additions to Firebase Analytics, Firebase Authentication, Firebase Cloud Messaging, Firebase Cloud Storage, Cloud Firestore, Firebase Crash Reporting, and Firebase Performance Monitoring along with independent version numbers. For more information, read the Firebase Android SDK Release Notes.

Play Services updates

Google Play services libraries after 15.0.0 now have independent version numbers which follow SemVer. This change will allow for more frequent, flexible updates by individual components.
The Google Services Gradle plugin has been updated to version 3.3.0 to support this change in versioning. If you do not use this plugin, a standalone plugin, com.google.android.gms.strict-version-matcher-plugin has been released with the same version support functionality. For more details, see versioning guide.

April 12, 2018 - Version 15.0.0

Known Issues with version 15.0.0

If you are using the Android Plugin for Gradle version 2.2.0 or lower, you may encounter the following error:

Error: more than one library with package name 'com.google.android.gms'

To resolve the issue, update to a more recent version of the plugin.

Highlights from the v 15.0.0 release:

Play Services updates

A new version of the com.google.gms.oss.licenses.plugin Gradle plugin is now available. Please update as only this latest version works with Google Play services 15.0.0 and beyond. This is the last version of the plugin to support Android Studio 2.x. Starting with the next version, the plugin will support Android Studio 3.x only.
All references to com.google.android.gms.R classes have been replaced by component specific references; for example, com.google.android.gms.ads.R. If you use these classes directly in your code, you may need to update your code to be compatible.
Starting with 15.0.0, there will no longer be an updated offline Javadoc (the Google Play services artifact in Android Studio’s SDK Manager).
Starting with 15.0.0, there will no longer be a play-services alias target to pull in all Google Play services components. This has been recommended against for some time.

Added the UnifiedNativeAd class, which can contain either an app install ad or a content ad.
Updated the Native Ads Advanced API to support UnifiedNativeAd:
- Added the UnifiedNativeAdView and UnifiedNativeAdAssetNames classes.
- Added the UnifiedNativeAd.OnUnifiedNativeAdLoadedListener interface.
- Added the forUnifiedNativeAd() method to the AdLoader.Builder class.
- Made several updates to the mediation API, making it possible for adapters and custom events to return instances of UnifiedNativeAd.

Auth

Added the KEY_EXTRA_ACCOUNT_TYPE constant to the AccountTransfer class, which lets packages know which account type should be addressed.

Cast

Deprecated the AppVisibilityListener class.
Deprecated RemoteMediaClient.Listener class. Use the new RemoteMediaClient.Callback class instead.
Fixed a crash in TracksChooserDialogFragment and made several changes to its constructor and creator.
Introduced the MediaQueue API as a replacement for existing media queue mechanism. Use the new MediaQueueRecyclerViewAdapter and MediaQueueArrayAdapter classes to access MediaQueue in recycler views and list views, respectively.
Tapping cast remote control notifications now take users to the Google Home app or the corresponding Cast app, depending on if the Cast app supports joining the session automatically.
Ads Support Update:
- Cast Sender API now supports loading VAST ads.
- Added "Skip Ad" button and countdown text UI elements.
Added a version of CastContext.getSharedInstance() that doesn't require Context as parameter.
Fixed an IllegalStateException crash in CAF.
Added DEVICE_CONNECTION_SUSPENDED to CastStatusCodes for PendingResult.
For more details, see Google Cast release notes.

Firebase

The latest update to Firebase includes additions to Firebase Authentication and Firebase Cloud Storage. For more information, see Firebase Android SDK Release Notes.

Fitness

Deprecated the fromLocationRequest() method of the SensorRequest class. Use SensorRequest.Builder to build SensorRequest instead.

Google Cloud Messaging

Deprecated the GoogleCloudMessaging, GcmPubSub, GcmReceiver, GcmListenerService, InstanceID, and InstanceIDListenerService classes. Use FirebaseMessaging instead.

Games

Deprecated the getChurnProbability(), PlayerStats.getHighSpenderProbability, getSpendProbability(), and getTotalSpendNext28Days() methods from the PlayerStats class.

Instant Apps

Removed InstantApps.API. Use InstantApps.getInstantAppsClient() instead.

Nearby

Deprecated NearbyConnections-related internal states.

Wallet

Deprecated the Payments class. Instead, use Wallet.getPaymentsClient() to get an instance of the new PaymentsClient class.

March 28, 2018 - Version 12.0.1

Issues fixed in 12.0.1:

Fixes issue that caused spurious Android lint errors claiming GoogleSignIn and CredentialsClient were internal-only.
Adds missing minSdkVersion in -license artifacts to prevent automatic inclusion of READ_PHONE_STATE and READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE permissions.
Restores unique package names for runtime linked -license artifacts which affected some build systems' (e.g. Ionic Pro) compatibility issues.
Restores some fields names that were obfuscated in 12.0.1, namely the value() method of @PropertyName annotations in firebase-firestore and firebase-database.

March 20, 2018 - Version 12.0.0

Known Issues with version 12.0.0

-license POM dependencies have no minSdkVersion / targetSdkVersion set, which means that the implied targetSdkVersion is 1. This adds READ_PHONE_STATE and READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE permissions for apps using 12.0.0.
-license POM dependencies cause "more than one library with package name ‘com.google.android.gms.license'" issues in Ionic Pro.
@PropertyName annotations for firebase-database and firebase-firestore have their value() method obfuscated. This means your app will not build if you use @PropertyName.
An annotation causes spurious lint errors claiming GoogleSignIn and CredentialsClient are internal-only. These can safely be ignored.

We will provide an updated 12.0.1 release to address these issues soon.

Highlights from the Google Play services 12.0.0 release:

Ads
- Added the trackViews() method to the NativeAdMapper class. The method replaces the now-deprecated trackView() method of the same class.
Auth
- Deprecated the Auth.AuthCredentialsOptions class in favor of the new CredentialsOptions class.
Cast
- Improved Ads support:
  - Added the setAdBreakClips() and setAdBreaks() methods to the MediaInfo.Builder class to provide a way to send ad break and clip info in a media load request.
  - Updated the AdBreakInfo.Builder class and added the AdBreakClipInfo class to facilitate new break- and clip-sending methods.
- Added support for new voice cast APIs:
  - Added the setCredentials() and setCredentialsType() methods to the MeadiaLoadOptions.Builder class and the getCredentials() and getCredentialsType() methods to the MediaLoadOptions class. The methods allow you to set and get application-specific credentials with load requests.
  - Added the getEntity() method to the MediaInfo class. The entity represents a deep link for media loading from Google Assistant.
- Fixed a bug where calling CastContext.getSharedInstance() on devices with out-of-date versions of Google Play services caused a crash. Outdated Google Play services versions still cause the method to fail, so clients should check for an appropriate version.
Fido
- The Fast Identity Online 2.0 (Fido2) API is now available to early access partners. Since the API is still early-access, breaking changes can be made without warning. For the sake of your app's stability, don't rely on this API until it's more generally available.
Firebase
- The latest update to Firebase includes additions to Firebase Authentication, Firebase Cloud Messaging, Firestore, and Firebase Functions. For more information, see Firebase Android SDK Release Notes.

Location
- Added the ActivityTransition class to help apps differentiate between different physical activities users undertake, for example walking, running, or driving.
- Added the BoundsMode interface to allow the getAutocompletePredictions() method to enable searches with bounds restrictions.
Maps
- Added the StreetViewSource class, which lets you restrict Streetview searches to outdoor-only results.
- For a full list of features, bug fixes, and other notes, see the Maps Android API Release Notes.
Nearby
- Deprecated the GoogleApiClient-based Messages and Connections interfaces. Use the new GoogleApi-based clients, MessagesClient and ConnectionsClient instead.

December 18, 2017 - Version 11.8.0

Wallet
- Updated the isReadyToPay() method to offer a option for an extra check that ensures the user has an existing payment method.
Wearable
- Updated the Wearable API for the new GoogleApi-based clients, which automatically manage connections to services and require less boilerplate code to use:

- API calls return Task<ResultType> instead of PendingResult<ResultWrapper>
- ChannelClient.ChannelCallback replaces ChannelApi.ChannelListener.
- WearableOptions.Builder.setLooper() replaces GoogleApiClient.Builder.setHandler() to set the thread for listener callbacks in the new API Client classes.

For more information about the latest Wearable API release, see the Android Wear Release Notes page.

Existing users of GCM can continue to use GCM without interruption, though we strongly recommend upgrading to the new and simplified Firebase Cloud Messaging (FCM) APIs, so that users can benefit from future releases of new features and enhancements. To learn more, see Migrate a GCM Client App for Android to Firebase Cloud Messaging.
Mobile Vision
- A service required by Mobile Vision is now disabled due to an issue with that service. This will prevent users who have not already used face or barcode detection from using those features. We do not recommend adding new Mobile Vision features to your app until this issue is fixed.
- For apps that already use Mobile Vision features, check FaceDetector.isOperational() or BarcodeDetector.isOperational() to confirm detector readiness before using the face or barcode detector.
Auth

GoogleAuthUtil has moved to the -auth API split in the Google Play services SDK. If your app uses GoogleAuthUtil.getToken() you may see an error similar to the following:

Error:(xx, xx) error: package com.google.android.gms.auth does not exist

Error:(xx, xx) error: cannot find symbol variable GoogleAuthUtil

If you need to access the REST API on Android, include the -auth split in your build.gradle file:

compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-auth:9.0.1'

Otherwise, we recommend migrating your app to the Google Sign-In API to incorporate the latest improvements in security and user experience into your app. To learn more, see our guide to Google Sign In best practices.

Known Issues with version 9.0.0

If your app uses AdMob and also uses ProGuard post-processing, your app won't be able to serve ads to devices without the Google Play services APK unless you adjust your ProGuard configuration or update your app to use the Google Play services version 9.0.1 SDK. To ensure that ads are served to these devices after your app is updated to use the Google Play Services 9.0.0 SDK, add the following keep option to your ProGuard configuration file:

-keep public @com.google.android.gms.common.util.DynamiteApi class * { *; }
