I made the basic version of my app which included Firebase Authentication and before I connected the app with firebase, I tested the app in the Android Emulator. I got the following error and then I fixed few things on my own.
-connected the firebase
-added the dependency
classpath 'com.google.gms:google-services:4.2.0'

Still the following error is encountered -

/AndroidRuntime: FATAL EXCEPTION: main
    Process: com.example.bottomnav, PID: 2049
    java.lang.RuntimeException: Unable to start activity ComponentInfo{com.example.bottomnav/com.example.bottomnav.login}: java.lang.IllegalStateException: Default FirebaseApp is not initialized in this process com.example.bottomnav. Make sure to call FirebaseApp.initializeApp(Context) first.

I have used the Firebase tool in my earlier projects and I am under the impression that using the in-built firebase tool within the Android Studio does everything automatically. So, is there any step that I may have skipped?

for me, the issue was using google service plugin version 4.3.9. just change

        classpath 'com.google.gms:google-services:4.3.9'

to

       classpath 'com.google.gms:google-services:4.3.8'

You probably did not add the google-services plugin to your build.gradle. It's more than just a dependency. According to the documentation, you also have to add:

apply plugin: 'com.google.gms.google-services'

The answer is very simple you should add a classpath 'com.google.gms:google-services:4.3.8' in dependencies of built.gradle and then add id 'com.google.gms.google-services' in built.gradle(app) that's all.

Initialize firebase on the first activity onCreate() or in application class before performing any action with firebase FirebaseApp.initializeApp(this)

Add id 'com.google.gms.google-services' in the plugins of build.gradle and you won't have an issue.
