WARNING: If you would like to try out the Google Sign In feature, you will need to reconfigure your client apps in the Connection Settings to re-sync the Firebase configurations. You will also need the Android Beta to use this feature. The Google Sign In feature is mostly useful for new users performing the setup. If you've already installed BlueBubbles, you did this process manually. Now, it's automated.
