Firebase Authentication for Android Credential Manager

[emmernme]

Hey! While trying to fix an issue with app switching for authentication, I stumbled upon the deprectation of GoogleSignInOptions and related classes, in favor of the new Credential Manager API (https://developer.android.com/identity/sign-in/credential-manager-siwg).

I'll try to implement this in my project switching fork.

Would you be willing to create a PR? I hope there are not too many changes. I can't keep up with the reviews at the moment. 😅

I'll try! It should only affect the GoogleAuthProviderHandler of the Firebase Authentication plugin, so hopefully noy too many changes, no :)

Indeed, I've received this on my Google PlayStore inbox:

You're utilizing legacy Google Sign-in APIs, which are deprecated and planned to be removed in 2025. For details on migrating to Sign in with Google via Credential Manager, read our migration guide.

Any ideas on there this will be updated on capacitor-firebase?

Yes, we will work on this.
