I see there is an issue when you combine this library with firebase (bom 31.5.0 but happens with various newer/older versions of firebase bom).
This library uses protobuf (whether you use it or not) and firebase uses protobuf too. But quite some time ago they made changes to use protobuf-javalite (I think). In any case you cannot mix protobuf-java with protobuf-javalite hence the compile error when merging dependencies.
I'm not using the protobuf parts of this wrapper but this library depends on it.

Steps to repro:
Build and observe compile errors (there are two)
