Flutterfire: [cloud_firestore] Compatibility issues Api 21-

[kroikie]

Cloud Firestore has some Compatibility issues with other plugins from firebase&google
when i add cloud firestore alone ,, it builds and run perfectly
when i just add other plugins ex: auth , gSignIn
app doesn't start on kitkat for example
but starts on lolipop+

Steps to re produce error:
1- New project package name (com.debug.flutterbugs)
2- added in pubspec.yaml

  cloud_firestore: ^0.7.4
  firebase_auth: ^0.5.18
  google_sign_in: ^3.0.4

3- enabled multidex by adding in App gradle

multiDexEnabled true

4- applied firebase instructions here
5- Just added imports to the main.dart

import 'package:firebase_auth/firebase_auth.dart';
import 'package:google_sign_in/google_sign_in.dart';
import 'package:cloud_firestore/cloud_firestore.dart';

Run app on kitkat and lolipop devices

The issue at https://github.com/flutter/flutter/issues/20801 has been closed and moved here. Future collaboration on this issue will be done here.

Hi @Saifallak
If 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 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

Hi @iapicca
I have this issue.
To reproduce it:

-Add package cloud_firestore: (latest version - 0.12.10+2) in pubspec.yaml
-run default app in device with api smaller of 21

flutter run --verbose.txt
flutter_doctor.txt
logcat.txt
flutter build --verbose.txt

The androidx.core: core package contained a bug related to compatibility with olds api's (compat), fixed in version 1.10-beta01: https://developer.android.com/jetpack/androidx/releases/core#1.1.0-beta01 (*Fixed exception when loading font on devices running API Level 20 and lower)

Apparently the FirebaseApp.class is using androidx.core 1.00 package in the dependencies, what would cause the bug reported in this issue.

Hi @MP00 and @Saifallak

Hey, as part of our on-going work for #2582, this has been resolved in our Firebase Firestore rework (#2913) - which has now been merged into master. We'll look at publishing some prereleases in the next few days. Thank you
