† RIP: PROJECT IS DEAD †

No more support anymore, no one working on it.

Facebook logins stopped working on Android devices.

Google "on tap login" stopped working.

No real localisation system (only one language at a time).

Barely compatible with new versions of firebase (you need to use legacy import that does not support tree shaking).

Lost my time trying to use it, if can spare yours...

Are there any replacements available? Is there a better option if I want to add google sign-in to my web app? @Felwin @hittten

They really need to remove it from the docs. Or at least version the docs (something also sorely needed). It's pretty sloppy.

I'd been using FirebaseUI on a large Vue-based application for some years, and finally gave in to replacing it, since Guest login stopped working. I was expecting it to be a lot of work, but in the end, I followed the documentation from here, and since the project auth providers were already set up, it was less than a couple of days work to re-implement the flows and create a better looking UI (at least, more consistent with the rest of our app). There are libraries springing up as linked in other comments, but since most of the work is done via the firebase/auth package, it's really not that much to replace.

The whole firebase offering is classic Google hot mess of a shish kebab. The website now says to use service workers? Sure ... but why are these official examples still out there? what's the suggested way to start new project?

This is what you end up with when you have slobs work on a project. The Firebase team is long overdue for some serious "reshuffling". And by "reshuffling" I mean replacing unmotivated team members with people who are passionate about their work.

Docs should definitely not recommend FirebaseUI as a first pass solution. Frustrating to try to build my MVP fast but then fall into FirebaseUI issues.
