Cannot upload photo to firebase storage due to google gms error

I am trying to make an application that captures an image and saves it to Firebase storage.

this is the code that is responsible for uploading the photo

private fun uploadAbsensi(bitmap: Bitmap, currentDate: String, currentTime: String) {
        val userId = "testID" //should have no relevance to the issue
        val absensiRef = db.collection("absensi")
            .document(userId)
            .collection("harian")
            .document(currentDate)

        val storage = FirebaseStorage.getInstance()

        absensiRef.get().addOnSuccessListener { documentSnapshot : DocumentSnapshot ->
            if (documentSnapshot.exists()) {
                Toast.makeText(mainActivity, "Anda sudah melakukan absensi hari ini", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show()
            } else {
                // Upload photo to Firebase Storage
                val storageRef = storage.reference.child("absensi/${userId}/${currentDate}.jpg")
                val baos = ByteArrayOutputStream()
                bitmap.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.JPEG, 100, baos)
                val data = baos.toByteArray()

                val uploadTask = storageRef.putBytes(data)
                uploadTask.addOnSuccessListener {
                    storageRef.downloadUrl.addOnSuccessListener { uri ->
                        // Save attendance data to Firestore
                        val absensiData = mapOf(
                            "userId" to userId,
                            "photoUrl" to uri.toString(),
                            "date" to currentDate,
                            "time" to currentTime
                        )
                        absensiRef.set(absensiData).addOnSuccessListener {
                            Toast.makeText(mainActivity, "Absensi berhasil disimpan", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show()
//                            finish()  // Return after successful attendance
                        }
                    }
                }.addOnFailureListener {
                    Toast.makeText(mainActivity, "Gagal mengunggah foto", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show()
                }
            }
        }
    }

this is my build.gradle (app-level)

plugins {
//    alias(libs.plugins.android.application)
    alias(libs.plugins.kotlin.android)

    id("com.android.application")
    id("com.google.gms.google-services")
}

android {
    namespace = "com.example.if570_f_000000068544_kevinwijayahadinata_uts"
    compileSdk = 34

    defaultConfig {
        applicationId = "com.example.if570_f_000000068544_kevinwijayahadinata_uts"
        minSdk = 24
        targetSdk = 34
        versionCode = 1
        versionName = "1.0"
        testInstrumentationRunner = "androidx.test.runner.AndroidJUnitRunner"
    }

    buildTypes {
        release {
            isMinifyEnabled = false
            proguardFiles(
                getDefaultProguardFile("proguard-android-optimize.txt"),
                "proguard-rules.pro"
            )
        }
    }
    compileOptions {
        sourceCompatibility = JavaVersion.VERSION_1_8
        targetCompatibility = JavaVersion.VERSION_1_8
    }
    kotlinOptions {
        jvmTarget = "1.8"
    }
    buildFeatures {
        viewBinding = true
    }
}

    implementation("com.github.bumptech.glide:glide:4.14.2")






}

and my project-level build.gradle

// Top-level build file where you can add configuration options common to all sub-projects/modules.
plugins {
    id("com.google.gms.google-services") version "4.4.2" apply false
    alias(libs.plugins.android.application) apply false
    alias(libs.plugins.kotlin.android) apply false

}

however, when i try to upload the image to the storage I get this error

Failed to get service from broker.  (Ask Gemini)
                                                                                                    java.lang.SecurityException: Unknown calling package name 'com.google.android.gms'.

                                                                                                        at android.os.Parcel.readException(Parcel.java:2357)
                                                                                                        at android.os.Parcel.readException(Parcel.java:2299)

I have imported every relevant library in the fragment where my uploadAbsensi() function lies (given that there are no errors in the file), and in my firebase I have set the rules to be able to read and write data. I have never created an android app before, so please forgive my lack of knowledge if the solution is simple.
