+ * This service was previously used for session management but has been effectively made a no-op as
+ * part of the architectural changes introduced in
+ * [PR #7318](https://github.com/firebase/firebase-android-sdk/pull/7318). It is retained to prevent
+ * `ClassNotFoundException` for older clients that might still have this service declared in their
+ * AndroidManifest.xml or for systems attempting to restart a previously running instance of this
+ * service.
