The firebase-admin package contributes 151.7 MB of dependencies

[REQUIRED] Step 2: Describe your environment

• Operating System version: macOS 14.6.1 (23G93)
• Firebase SDK version: 5.4.0
• Firebase Product: messaging
• Python version: 3.11.8
• Pip version: Poetry (version 1.8.3)

[REQUIRED] Step 3: Describe the problem

We recently performed an audit of our dependencies and firebase-admin is by far larger than anything else, clocking in at around 151.7 MB, including its transitive dependencies, according to the measuring approach we used (see below).

All we want is the Cloud Messaging part but I guess we're getting the kitchen sink and the house as well. ;)

Steps to reproduce:

Install just firebase-admin in a fresh virtualenv and look at the size of installed artefacts. We used the python-package-size tool to measure this but it can be done manually.
