Android Firebase: cannot resolve method in firebaseAuth

My Android Studio project was working fine until I updated a plugin accidentally in a pop-up suggestion. After that "Firebase Auth" methods are not working. For example:

fAuth = FirebaseAuth.getInstance();
fUser = fAuth.getCurrentUser();

I get the error "cannot resolve method getCurrentUser in firebaseAuth". Similarly, in the following code:

ref.child(fAuth.getUid()).child("Orders").child(orderId).orderByChild("orderStatus")
            .addValueEventListener(new ValueEventListener() {.....}

I get error "cannot resolve method getUid in firebaseAuth". Following is my build.gradle file.

dependencies {
implementation 'androidx.appcompat:appcompat:1.6.0'
implementation 'com.squareup.picasso:picasso:2.8'
implementation 'com.google.android.material:material:1.7.0'

I get these errors in my whole project.

    I am answering my own question here. I tried many solutions, but then I got to know I had used a wrong dependency.

    implementation 'com.google.firebase:firebase-admin:9.1.1'

    After I have removed it, my project is working.

    Hope it will help others.

    You’re getting the following error:

    cannot resolve method getUid in firebaseAuth

    Most likely at the following line of code:

    ref.child(fAuth.getUid())...

    Because the fAuth object is an object of type FirebaseAuth, a class does not contain any method called getUid(). If you need the UID of the authenticated user, you have to call .getCurrentUser() first. In code that would be:

    ref.child(fAuth.getCurrentUser().getUid())...
