Is it necessary to have google-services.json in every single android project even if I don't want to opt for firebase BaaS or firebaseAuth? I am facing a problem. I am not able to install app-debug.apk on any android device and I am getting a warning message "Blocked by Play Protect Play Protect doesn't recognize this app's developer". I don't want to spend $25 to get registered as an android developer as I am just learning the app development. Please note I am not planning to release the app on Play Store. Is there any workaround? Thanks.

@RobertoManfreda I have setup android studio just 2-3 days ago and the debug.keystore is only 2 days old. I think the solution provided here[Debug app blocked by play protect](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/51344169/debug-app-blocked-by-play-protect) doesn't ease my trouble. – Jayram Kumar Feb 10 '21 at 14:44

Did you tried to invalidate cache and restart? Then rebuild the project from build apk(s) entry – Roberto Manfreda Feb 10 '21 at 14:47

Are you using any other firebase dependencies? – Sarah Khan Feb 10 '21 at 16:53

1@SarahKhan The problem was resolved. I had not signed the app! Thanks for concern. – Jayram Kumar Feb 10 '21 at 17:28
