Worked on the firebase/firebase-android-sdk repository to address a critical issue with WebSocket handshake headers required for App Check enforcement in the Gemini Live API. Using Kotlin and Ktor for backend development, implemented logic to pre-fetch headers in a suspend context and apply them synchronously within the WebSocket session configuration, ensuring the X-Firebase-AppCheck header is included during handshake. Added comprehensive unit tests to verify correct header inclusion and maintained code quality by ensuring compatibility with the existing test suite. Validated the solution through end-to-end testing, confirming that liveModel().connect() functions correctly when App Check is enforced on AI Logic.

April 2026 monthly summary focusing on key accomplishments for firebase/firebase-android-sdk. Delivered critical WebSocket handshake header support to honor App Check enforcement for Gemini Live API, ensuring upstream Live operations remain functional when App Check is enforced. Implemented pre-fetching of headers in the suspend context and applied them synchronously inside the Ktor webSocketSession, and added unit tests to validate header inclusion. Performed end-to-end validation by locally building the SDK and verifying liveModel().connect() succeeds with App Check enforced on AI Logic. Maintained code quality through formatting and test suite compatibility.
