Firebase Firestore Backend Failure in SSL library, usually a protocol error error:140740B5:SSL routines:SSL23_CLIENT_HELLO:no ciphers

I am getting this error while running Firestore data fetch in android 4.4.2

I have tried adding the TSL 1.2 support for the app but it is still not fixing the issue with Firestore.

I was running into the exact same problem in Android 4.4.

For me, it was Google Play Service being out of date. I found in my logs:

 Google Play services out of date.  Requires 12451000 but found 4325036

You can solve this by going into the Google Play Store, and installing the update for Google Play services.
