I tested apache-airflow-providers-google==19.4.0rc2 using the official Airflow 3.1.3 Docker image.

• Provider installed successfully
• Core Google operators imported without errors

From my testing, the remaining open linked issue did not affect installation or basic runtime behavior.

[dejii]

My change #60679 works fine ✅

[KamranImaaz]

Changes made in #60380 and #59866 are working as expected.
