Lost connection to device

I'm using

firebase_core: ^1.20.0 firebase_messaging: ^12.0.1

After Doing Flutter Clean and Deleting Build Folder it shows

error when communicating with firebase installation , server api , Http response [ 403 forbidden:

Although im not using any vpn

I've tried many solutions like creating new firebase project via flutterfire and still showing me the same errors

Any Solutions ? and thanks

You can try with older version of Firebase_core package. I got solution from that. — Renik Shiroya, Aug 08 '22 at 08:42
Also, Please ensure that version is changed in pubspec.lock file in project. — Renik Shiroya, Aug 08 '22 at 08:43
@RenikShiroya how to ensure that ? i usually do flutter clean and pub get is that enough? — Wissam Sbenaty, Aug 08 '22 at 08:48
No, When you changed the version and run fultter pub get. After that, Please check the version of Firebase_core in pubspec.lock because sometimes there is still old version — Renik Shiroya, Aug 08 '22 at 08:50
@RenikShiroya you were right ! firebase_core in pubspec.lock still 1.20.0 should i change it manually to new version or deleting the file and generating new one is better ? — Wissam Sbenaty, Aug 08 '22 at 08:55
@AliIzadyar im in syria and i can tell you after trying alot ... its now forbidden for android devices to get token for the first time without vpn ... this problem has appeared for 3 days .. so i think we can do nothing about that — Wissam Sbenaty, Aug 10 '22 at 07:15
Yeah I now realize that is the exact problem. I live in Iran and this problem is reported by others too — Ali Izadyar, Aug 13 '22 at 04:03

I found the issue. I’m living in Syria, and it has become forbidden to call getToken for the first time without a VPN, at least for Android devices.

This occurs when one of the dependancies of firebase is out of date. You Should update all the firebase packages to their newest version in the pubspec.yaml . (If you do not need to use a specific version for deployment). You can check out the newest versions on pub.dev

Firebase SDKs depend on a new internal infrastructure service, called FIS (the Firebase Installations Service) since February 27 2020 and it's now required to connect to this API to register client's device and get a token. So, Firebase will request something like this (https://firebaseinstallations.googleapis.com/v1/projects/$project_identifier/installations/?key=$api_key) to do so. After investigating you can see that this process it done by google-play-services and called from Firebase-Plugin as shown here :

https://github.com/firebase/firebase-android-sdk/blob/c6cc8c5d4a00518033a6f281486c9610b821e1c4/firebase-messaging/src/main/java/com/google/firebase/messaging/GmsRpc.java#L260

So, I Think if you can edit the plugin to send the requests to a proxy server then to the FIS API you can go around this issue.

Unfortunately,I can confirm that the FIS API now gives 403 error in Syria.

Hope google resolve this issue soon...
