Use Firebase Auth on Devices without Google Play Services
Blog post from Firebase
Firebase Authentication for Android version 20.0.0, available through Firebase Android BoM version 26.0.0, removes its dependency on Google Play services, allowing developers to use Firebase services such as Cloud Firestore, Realtime Database, and Cloud Storage on Android devices without Google Play services. Developers can adopt the change by updating their Gradle dependencies and recompiling, and can remove prior non-GMS workarounds. For Phone Number Authentication, Firebase uses Android SafetyNet on devices with Google Play services to verify legitimate requests, while falling back to reCAPTCHA when SafetyNet is unavailable or a device raises suspicion checks. Developers using phone authentication should enable the SafetyNet API and test both verification paths, including the ability to force the reCAPTCHA flow during testing.
