firebase_storage/unauthenticated User is unauthenticated. Authenticate and try again error even in the release build

Question

I'm using firebase_storage and firebase_app_check. I get the error in the following code.

await FirebaseAuth.instance.signInWithEmailAndPassword(email: 'foo@bar.com', password: '********');
FirebaseStorage.instance.ref('images/foo.png').putFile(file)

[firebase_storage/unauthenticated] User is unauthenticated. Authenticate and try again.

I've added the debug secret token to the console and the debug version of the app works fine, however, if I run the release version of the app on a physical Android device I get the error. Why is that so?

I've uploaded both debug and release certificates on the Firebase Project Settings page.

have you added secret token for release version to firebase console ? — Hardik Mehta, Jan 18 '22 at 10:12
i am asking about key hash : https://pasteboard.co/eOYfLCoeDmnI.png this one — Hardik Mehta, Jan 18 '22 at 10:20
Have you keep both SH1, means debug and release one for that app or package name ? — Hardik Mehta, Jan 18 '22 at 10:26
but with the release one is debug one also there on firebase console ? — Hardik Mehta, Jan 18 '22 at 10:38
@HardikMehta Yes, I have both debug and release certificates of both `SHA-1` and `SHA-256` on the console. Please see the updated post, it has a screenshot — iDecode, Jan 18 '22 at 12:12

One more time thanks to the Docs for not providing enough information.

For release mode, in my build.gradle(app):

implementation 'com.google.firebase:firebase-appcheck-safetynet:16.0.0-beta04'

I also need to add in my MainActivity.java:

FirebaseApp.initializeApp(this);
FirebaseAppCheck firebaseAppCheck = FirebaseAppCheck.getInstance();
firebaseAppCheck.installAppCheckProviderFactory(SafetyNetAppCheckProviderFactory.getInstance());

Please do one thing after adding SHA-1 and SHA-256 for release build Re download the google-services.json file and replace it with existing one in your project then do flutter clean and try to run release build and check.
