Flutterfire: [all] Flutter Android build fails with firebase dependencies.

[erluxman]

I am using Android Studio 3.5 stable

java -version 1.8

and this is the issue :

I have project gradle like this :

buildscript {
    repositories {
        google()
        jcenter()
    }

    dependencies {
        classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.3.0'
        classpath 'com.google.gms:google-services:4.3.0'
    }
}

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

rootProject.buildDir = '../build'
subprojects {
    project.buildDir = "${rootProject.buildDir}/${project.name}"
}
subprojects {
    project.evaluationDependsOn(':app')
}

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

App gradle like this :

def localProperties = new Properties()
def localPropertiesFile = rootProject.file('local.properties')
if (localPropertiesFile.exists()) {
    localPropertiesFile.withReader('UTF-8') { reader ->
        localProperties.load(reader)
    }
}

def flutterRoot = localProperties.getProperty('flutter.sdk')
if (flutterRoot == null) {
    throw new GradleException("Flutter SDK not found. Define location with flutter.sdk in the local.properties file.")
}

def flutterVersionCode = localProperties.getProperty('flutter.versionCode')
if (flutterVersionCode == null) {
    flutterVersionCode = '1'
}

def flutterVersionName = localProperties.getProperty('flutter.versionName')
if (flutterVersionName == null) {
    flutterVersionName = '1.0'
}

apply plugin: 'com.android.application'
apply from: "$flutterRoot/packages/flutter_tools/gradle/flutter.gradle"

android {
    compileSdkVersion 28

    lintOptions {

        versionName flutterVersionName
        testInstrumentationRunner "android.support.test.runner.AndroidJUnitRunner"
        multiDexEnabled true
    }

    buildTypes {
        release {
            // TODO: Add your own signing config for the release build.
            // Signing with the debug keys for now, so `flutter run --release` works.
            signingConfig signingConfigs.debug
        }
    }
}

flutter {
    source '../..'
}

Same here, when trying to actually run (not build, it does actually build) the _firebaseAuth.signInWithCustomToken(token: token) method, it goes like this:

On the other hand I can't even manage to build in iOS:

[idurvesh]

I am facing it as well. It stops recognizing the GradleException inside of a build.gradle

[ghost]

I had a similar error. Adding this at the bottom of android/app/build.gradle solved the problem temporarily for me, maybe it will work for you too:

apply plugin: 'com.google.gms.google-services'
com.google.gms.googleservices.GoogleServicesPlugin.config.disableVersionCheck = true

[NoamDev]

Hey @erluxman, try changing classpath 'com.google.gms:google-services:4.3.0'
in your project gradle.build to classpath 'com.google.gms:google-services:3.2.1'

let me know if it worked for you

I tried that but I get this error
A problem occurred evaluating project ':app'.

[erluxman]

in your project gradle.build to classpath 'com.google.gms:google-services:3.2.1'

let me know if it worked for you

Did not work

[NoamDev]

Yeah, I wasn't sure it'll work.
I have another idea, try to add in the end of depndencies(){}
those two lines

implementation 'firebase-core:16.0.9'
implementation 'com.google.firebase:firebase-firestore:19.0.0'

[erluxman]

Yeah, I wasn't sure it'll work.

implementation 'firebase-core:16.0.9'
implementation 'com.google.firebase:firebase-firestore:19.0.0'

Did not help :(

[Babiosik]

I have similar problem with firebase_auth. On line
await _auth.signInWithCredential(credential)
app crashed with error java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Unsupported value: null

[NoamDev]

@erluxman
I'm sorry, my mistake, could you try this instead?
If it doesn't work, could publish the new android build log so I can know if the problem was partially solved?

implementation 'com.google.firebase:firebase-core:16.0.9'
implementation 'com.google.firebase:firebase-firestore:19.0.0'

[lakwsh01]

With same problem when import firebase_database
classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.2.1'
classpath com.google.gms:google-services:3.2.1

and in
gradle.properties add
android.useAndroidX=true
android.enableJetifier=true

Seems everything goes to normal.

[samdx]

Hey @erluxman, try changing classpath 'com.google.gms:google-services:4.3.0'
in your project gradle.build to classpath 'com.google.gms:google-services:3.2.1'

let me know if it worked for you

Cloned an old repo, and this really helped.

[iapicca]

Hi @erluxman
did the proposed solution fix the issue?
If didn't and you are still experiencing this issue
with the latest version of Flutter and FlutterFire plugin
can you please provide your updated flutter doctor -v
and your and your flutter run --verbose/flutter build --verbose ?
Also, to better address the issue, would be helpful
if you could post a self contained app on github
or the steps to reproduce it.
Thank you

[iapicca]

Hi @erluxman
does the proposed solution fix the issue?

[erluxman]

That solution fixed my issue even without having to put manual dependencies to app.gradle file.

Thanks a lot.

[wa11breaker]

Try changing the minimum target SDK version from v16 to v21.

[hridoy100]

worked for me after adding these lines....
1. Inside app folder in file build.gradle
- add 'multiDexEnabled true' inside 'defaultConfig'

```
defaultConfig {
multiDexEnabled true
}

-  Then, 

dependencies {
implementation 'com.google.firebase:firebase-analytics:17.2.0'
implementation 'com.google.firebase:firebase-firestore:19.0.0'
implementation 'com.android.support:multidex:1.0.3'
}

2. The main problem arises with dependency version added in the `build.gradle` file located **outside** of `app` folder...Generally **firebase** tells to add dependency like this:

dependencies {
classpath 'com.google.gms:google-services:4.3.2'
}

but the conflict is with the version **4.3.2** as the line before it in my project is 
` classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.2.1'`
So, it conflicts with this **tools** version.
- So, change it to this:

dependencies {
classpath 'com.google.gms:google-services:3.2.1'
}

3. If you're using android X, don't forget to add the following lines in `gradle.properties` file..

android.useAndroidX=true
android.enableJetifier=true
```
Now, I hope your project will run.

[ArtfulDodgerB92]

For me the issue with this error, and why it is so difficult to find a solution for it is that it is wrong. It took me weeks to resolve this issue because the error has absolutely 0 to do with firebase being incompatible with androidx and everything to do with my key file (your .jks file). For me, the file path was incorrect, and correcting this made everything work again like magic.

It is likely that if you are tearing your hair out over this issue, that this is not even an issue. Have a look at your key store file and make sure everything is correct with it. If the app runs perfectly fine, but will not build, there are only two files involved that are different. Your google-services.json and your keystore file.

Absolutely terrible error reporting.

Hi all
are you still experiencing the issue with the latest stable version of flutter
and the latest version of firebase?
thank you

Hey 👋

Our rework of the the FlutterFire plugins to depend on a shared 'core' (which controls the versions of the Firebase SDKs used on Android) as part of the FlutterFire roadmap was published over a week ago with a ton of fixes and new features.

Please could you try the new versions and see if this is still an issue? Additionally the documentation site now covers Android installation, https://firebase.flutter.dev

If this is still an issue then please submit a new up to date GitHub issue.

For help migrating to the new plugins please see the new migration guide: https://firebase.flutter.dev/docs/migration
