Firebase Token retrieval failed: AUTHENTICATION_FAILED

Hello there,

I'm a Flutter newbie. I've followed the instructions and it works perfectly in iOS simulator but not my Pixel 2 API 28 simulator and the following error shows:

I then tried to use API 24 and the AUTHENTICATION_FAILED is gone but my google play service is outdated.

Does anyone encounter the same problem with Android simulator?

There may be issues with Android Emulator. Try logging into play services first in the emulator.

Another try is to use a physical device.

I think this is mainly related to the packages being 2+ years old. See #41
