Cordova-plugin-firebasex: Unable to (re-)add android@latest platform

Created on 20 Jun 2019  路  16Comments  路  Source: dpa99c/cordova-plugin-firebasex

Describe the bug
I had to remove my android platform and I'm currently unable to re-add it. At least the 'cordova platform add android@latest` doesn't complete successfully.

This is the relevant part of my package.json:

Any help would be really much appreciated! If I try to switch back to android 7.x, the build will fail as well (because of dependencies for this plugin, as mentioned here: https://github.com/arnesson/cordova-plugin-firebase/issues/1081#issuecomment-503135862)

That comment was the reason to give your fork a try.

remove these lines from config.xml and package.json:

    "cordova-plugin-firebase": "git+https://github.com/dpa99c/cordova-plugin-firebase.git",
    "cordova-plugin-cocoapod-support": "git+https://github.com/dpa99c/cordova-plugin-cocoapods-support.git",

than execute:

cordova plugin add cordova-plugin-firebasex
dann95 picture dann95 on 20 Jun 2019

@dpa99c have changed the name of plugins, now they are distributed via NPM with different name, so you must update the name.

dann95 picture dann95 on 20 Jun 2019

Removing cordova-plugin-firebase and cordova-plugin-cocoapod-support and adding cordova-plugin-firebasex should resolve this.
I'll update the documentation to make this clearer.

@dann95 and @dpa99c Thanks you for your support! First I ran the following:

 ~> cordova plugin rm cordova-plugin-firebase --force ; cordova plugin add cordova-plugin-firebasex
Plugin "cordova-plugin-firebase" is not present in the project. See `cordova plugin list`.
Installing "cordova-plugin-firebasex" for ios
Plugin dependency "[email protected]" already fetched, using that version.
Dependent plugin "cordova-plugin-cocoapod-supportx" already installed on ios.
Adding cordova-plugin-firebasex to package.json
Saved plugin info for "cordova-plugin-firebasex" to config.xml

That resolves in this dependencies:

  },

And this corresponding entry in the config.xml:
<plugin name="cordova-plugin-firebasex" spec="~2.0.6" />

But somethings seems to be broken. As soon as I try to remove another plugin (to update it), this error occurs:

~> cordova plugin rm cordova-plugin-native-keyboard  --force
Cannot find plugin.xml for plugin "cordova-plugin-firebase". Please try adding it again.

Looks like the renaming didn't work as expected? I also wonder if the ionic-native wrapper (@ionic-native/firebase": "3.9.2") is working with the renamed package?

Some system information:

Ionic:

   Ionic CLI          : 5.0.2 (/usr/local/lib/node_modules/ionic)
   Ionic Framework    : ionic-angular 3.9.2
   @ionic/app-scripts : 3.0.0

Cordova:

   Cordova CLI       : 8.1.2 ([email protected])
   Cordova Platforms : ios 4.5.5
   Cordova Plugins   : cordova-plugin-ionic-webview 4.0.1, (and 24 other plugins)

Utility:

   cordova-res : 0.3.0
   native-run  : 0.2.5

System:

   Android SDK Tools : 26.1.1 (/Users/svzi/Library/Android/sdk)
   ios-deploy        : 1.9.2
   NodeJS            : v8.11.3 (/usr/local/bin/node)
   npm               : 5.6.0
   OS                : macOS Mojave
   Xcode             : Xcode 10.2.1 Build version 10E1001
````
Platform android is missing, because I can't add it...

@svzi looks like a reference to cordova-plugin-firebase is stuck somewhere in your project:
check in package.json, config.xml, plugins/, plugins/fetch.json, node_modules/

dpa99c picture dpa99c on 20 Jun 2019

@dpa99c Thanks, I found it in the plugins/fetch.json and removed it. After that I deleted the node_modules folder, but that didn't change anything. I'm still unable to remove another plugin or add the android platform back. Still the same error messages as shown before. :-(

svzi picture svzi on 20 Jun 2019

I would get drastic then:

rm -Rf node_modules plugins platforms
npm install
cordova platform add android@latest

always when removing plugins, do:

rm -rf platforms/ plugins/ node_modules/
cordova plugin remove name-of-plugin

than also check on config.xml and package.json to be sure.

About your instant crash, i'm not home now to be able to check, any news about it?

@dpa99c yeah, we need to write better instructions to ppl who wants to use this plugin.

@dann95 No news about that crash. I can build for iOS and run it on my device. I can even build, sign and upload to App Store Connect. But Android seems to be a mess. No matter what I tried so far.

I admit that I also tried https://github.com/wizpanda/cordova-plugin-firebase-lib, but without luck. I didn't even get this far. But looking at the issues at the aforementioned plugin, I felt way better supported here with you guys, so I switched back and tried everything I could... But that seems to be not enough. :-(

@svzi I've just published [email protected] to npm which also migrates references in project.properties and AndroidManifest.xml - please give it a try as it should resolve the runtime crash above.
