FirebaseAuth class now missing "getCurrentUser()" method?

Question

Firebase used to work just fine yesterday, but I opened my project this morning just to find that the FirebaseAuth class now has no reference whatsoever to the FirebaseUser class. I cannot find the getCurrentUser() method.

The Google doc still shows that it exists in the class, though!

My imports in that class:

import com.google.firebase.auth.AuthCredential;
import com.google.firebase.auth.AuthResult;
import com.google.firebase.auth.FirebaseAuth;
import com.google.firebase.auth.FirebaseUser;
import com.google.firebase.auth.GetTokenResult;
import com.google.firebase.auth.GoogleAuthProvider;

The build.gradle:

api 'com.google.firebase:firebase-auth:16.0.2'
implementation 'com.firebaseui:firebase-ui-auth:4.1.0'
implementation 'com.google.firebase:firebase-core:16.0.1'
implementation 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-auth:15.0.1'
implementation 'com.google.firebase:firebase-admin:6.3.0'

And yes:

I have apply plugin: 'com.google.gms.google-services' in my build.gradle
My app's build.gradle has repositories { google() jcenter() } in it
I have Clean my project without getting errors
I have restarted AndroidStudio

Current errors in my app (seem to have appeared out of nowhere since yesterday):

The getCurrentUser() method doesn't exist anymore in my FirebaseAuth class (which is imported). Same for its signInWithCredential(...), signOut(), createUserWithEmailAndPassword(...) and signInWithEmailAndPassword(...) methods.
The isEmailVerified() method doesn't exist anymore in my FirebaseUser class anymore
When trying to Make Project, I get this error: Annotation processors must be explicitly declared now. The following dependencies on the compile classpath are found to contain annotation processor. Please add them to the annotationProcessor configuration. - auto-value-1.4.jar (com.google.auto.value:auto-value:1.4) Alternatively, set android.defaultConfig.javaCompileOptions.annotationProcessorOptions.includeCompileClasspath = true to continue with previous behavior. Note that this option is deprecated and will be removed in the future. See https://developer.android.com/r/tools/annotation-processor-error-message.html for more details..
build.gradle's implementation 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:27.1.1' is now highlighted as an error (All com.android.support librairies must have the same version specification)

My full build.gradle :

apply plugin: 'com.android.application'

Please help? I've spent days building this class and now it doesn't work.

Note that `firebase-admin` is intended to be used in a server, not an Android app. See https://stackoverflow.com/a/42103063/4815718 — Bob Snyder, Jul 19 '18 at 21:02
**Removing `firebase-admin` from the `build.gradle` and pressing `Sync now` solved the issue**! Weird: I've even put it back in there just to test it out and the project was fine. (I've since then removed it again. I had been wondering if that was only required on the server-side.) While you're here, would you mind me asking: am I supposed to put my `firebase-adminsdk.json` and `google_services.json` in my server's Java project? And which `keys/secrets` will my server need in order to decrypt/verify the third part of the `idToken JWT` ? Thank you !! — payne, Jul 19 '18 at 21:25
I don't have the experience to help with the other issues. Best to ask a new question. — Bob Snyder, Jul 19 '18 at 21:33
I [already have](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/51413567/confusion-on-how-to-use-idtoken-properly), and you actually answered one of my listed questions in there, hence me taking a chance on you right here. Thanks anyways. :) — payne, Jul 19 '18 at 21:39

The method still exists. Android Studio probably got confused, maybe because something in your project .idea folder got corrupted.

Try quitting Android Studio, deleting the .idea folder at the root of your project, then import the project into Android Studio again.

The method exist with a little modification.

Try using it FirebaseUser user = FirebaseAuth.getInstance().getCurrentUser();
