Connecting Meta Quest 3 project failed to recognise firebase realtime database

I was working on a project with firebase and found conflicts when trying to build to quest. The database works as designed when run in Unity, and there's a problem merging manifests when I go to build to quest.

I get one of these: 

A failure occurred while executing  com. android. build. gradle.tasks. ProcessLibraryManifest $ ProcessLibWorkAction

I haven't figured it out yet and there are some concerning posts about whether firebase will work with quest on the github for the firebase unity sample project. If I can make it work I'll follow up. If anyone at Meta would care to chime in, it would certainly be appreciated!
