I recently started using flutterfire_ui's SignInScreen, and it was working great for Android and Web, but not iOS. For some reason, when I clicked on "Sign in with Google", it would crash the app, and throw this debug info:

I tried looking at the repo's GitHub issues but there was nothing.

However, as it crashed in Debug mode, I noticed that some human-readable error message was briefly displayed. So I used QuickTime and started a screen recording. I clicked "Sign in with Google", and crashed the app. Then I watched the recording again. Here's the error it captured:

Unhandled Exception: PlatformException(google_sign_in, Your app is missing support for the following URL schemes: com.googleusercontent.apps....

It looked familiar, so I searched for that string in my project. I also went into the Firebase Console to check. It turns out I was initializing SignInScreen with a Google Client ID specific to Web. Instead, I should have passed the platform specific Google Client ID. So I fixed my initialization from:

final String googleClientId = 'some hard coded string';

SignInScreen(
  auth: auth,
  providerConfigs: [
    GoogleProviderConfiguration(
      clientId: googleClientId,
    )
  ],
  ...

to

final String googleClientId = kIsWeb
    ? [web specific Google Client ID]
    : (Platform.isAndroid
        ? DefaultFirebaseOptions.android.androidClientId
        : DefaultFirebaseOptions.ios.iosClientId);


SignInScreen(
  auth: auth,
  providerConfigs: [
    GoogleProviderConfiguration(
      clientId: googleClientId,
    )
  ],
  ...

And it started working for all platforms. Btw, if the Google Client ID used was the one for Web, why did it even work with Android in the first place? I have no idea.

March 2023 update

I am using flutterfire_cli version 0.2.7, and I have encountered a new bug. In this version, the CLI tool generates the wrong firebase_option objects: the androidClientId String is in the ios map, not in the android one, so for now I have to use DefaultFirebaseOptions.ios.androidClientId or it'll throw a null pointer exception.
