Sign in with email: NEXT button does not work

[hlumca]

Android Studio: Flamingo | 2022.2.1 Patch 1
OS: Windows 10
I am running into a problem at
https://firebase.google.com/codelabs/firebase-android#5
When I run my code in the emulator, I get a screen that has a red "Sign in with email" button. In the Sign In screen, I enter [email protected]. When I click on the NEXT button, I see the progress bar flash under the title. However, I am still on the screen that is prompting for email. I was expecting a prompt for the password. How can I determine what is wrong?

A temporary fix is to comment out the if (BuildConfig.DEBUG) line and its closing bracket. There's a couple dozen different packages your IDE might try to import BuildConfig from, and it seems like none of them work. Will update if I find one that does, though!

BuildConfig is local to YOUR app (in this case, the codelab). For that functionality, you need to specify "buildConfig = true" (without the quotes) under buildFeatures in the app/build.gradle.kts file. Sync the project with Gradle files, then rebuild project.
You can now use "if (BuildConfig.DEBUG)" as intended =)
