[imax531]

Step 1: Are you in the right place?

• yes

Step 2: Describe your environment

• Android device: N/A
• Android OS version: N/A
• Google Play Services version: 11.8.0
• Firebase/Play Services SDK version: 11.8.0
• FirebaseUI version: 3.2.0
• Android Studio version: 3.0.1

Step 3: Describe the problem:

When trying to add auth-ui gradle dependency, gradle sync fails with the following error:

Failed to resolve: firebaseui-android.internal:lintchecks:unspecified

Steps to reproduce:

1. Open a new project with Android Studio
2. Add to the application build.gradle file the following lines:
   dependencies { // ... implementation 'com.google.firebase:firebase-auth:11.8.0' implementation 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-auth:11.8.0' implementation 'com.firebaseui:firebase-ui-auth:3.2.0' //... }
3. Sync gradle

Observed Results:

The sync failed with the error message
Failed to resolve: firebaseui-android.internal:lintchecks:unspecified

Expected Results:

The sync should have succeeded

Relevant Code:

build.gradle (Module: app)

apply plugin: 'com.android.application'

android {
    compileSdkVersion 27
    defaultConfig {
        applicationId "com.roytmax.myapplication"
        minSdkVersion 21
        targetSdkVersion 27
        versionCode 1
        versionName "1.0"
        testInstrumentationRunner "android.support.test.runner.AndroidJUnitRunner"
    }
    buildTypes {
        release {
            minifyEnabled false
            proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
        }
    }
}

dependencies {
    implementation fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])
    implementation 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:27.0.2'
    implementation 'com.android.support.constraint:constraint-layout:1.0.2'

    implementation 'com.google.firebase:firebase-auth:11.8.0'
    implementation 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-auth:11.8.0'
    implementation 'com.firebaseui:firebase-ui-auth:3.2.0'

    testImplementation 'junit:junit:4.12'
    androidTestImplementation 'com.android.support.test:runner:1.0.1'
    androidTestImplementation 'com.android.support.test.espresso:espresso-core:3.0.1'
}

builde.gradle (Project: MyApplication)

// Top-level build file where you can add configuration options common to all sub-projects/modules.

buildscript {

    repositories {
        google()
        jcenter()
    }
    dependencies {
        classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.0.1'


        // NOTE: Do not place your application dependencies here; they belong
        // in the individual module build.gradle files
    }
}

allprojects {
    repositories {
        google()
        jcenter()
    }
}

task clean(type: Delete) {
    delete rootProject.buildDir
}

Misc:

• I attempted to use compile instead of implementation but the problem persists.

    compile 'com.google.firebase:firebase-auth:11.8.0'
    compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-auth:11.8.0'
    compile 'com.firebaseui:firebase-ui-auth:3.2.0'
````
* The sync succeeds with `com.firebaseui:firebase-ui-auth` versions 3.1.2 and 3.1.3.
* I attempted to use the entire library, but the same error occurs

compile com.firebaseui:firebase-ui:3.2.0
```

• Syncing other sections of the firebase ui (storage/database/firestore) works just fine with version 3.2.0.

Shucks! We really need to be more careful about our modules... working on a fix right now. In the meantime, this should work:

compile('com.firebaseui:firebase-ui-auth:3.2.0') {
    exclude module: 'lintchecks'
}
