Flutterfire: [firebase_database] Unable to resolve dependency for

Created on 14 Nov 2019 · 17Comments · Source: FirebaseExtended/flutterfire

I am new to flutter development. I want to use the firebase database. I was able to connect to firebase using the firebase analytics plugin but I was not successful in using the firebase database.

I tried to add the plugins one at a time to know where did the issue come from and now I am sure it is the firebase_database plugin.

I have successfully added the following package:

firebase_core: ^0.4.0+9
firebase_analytics: ^5.0.2
firebase_auth: ^0.14.0+5

but when I add

firebase_database: ^3.1.0

I get the below error
Finished with error: Gradle task assembleDebug failed with exit code 1

This error appears when I run the default flutter application (The counter app) on my Android mobile.
So I open the Android module in Android Studio to get more details about the error.
I got the following error

ERROR: Unable to resolve dependency for ':firebase_database@debug/compileClasspath': Could not resolve android.arch.lifecycle:runtime:1.1.1.

Most helpful comment

Finally I have solved my issue by having this in Project build.gradle.

    dependencies {
        classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.2.1'
        classpath 'com.google.gms:google-services:4.3.3'
    }

Important: Don't update to latest gradle version. Just keep it to 3.2.1

And by adding these in App level build.grade

dependencies {
    implementation "android.arch.lifecycle:extensions:1.1.1"
    testImplementation "android.arch.core:core-testing:1.1.1"
}

Hi @suha-glal
could you please provide your updated flutter doctor -v ?
Thank you

Hi @iapicca ,

I tested the app yesterday and it still didnot work.
So I started fresh today and created a new flutter app with the same configurations.
This time I got the following error in Flutter console

FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

@iapicca Thank you for your help.

Should I just add the below line to android app level gradle file

implementation 'com.google.firebase:firebase-core:16.0.1'

suha-glal on 20 Nov 2019

Hi @iapicca ,

So I have added the below line to android module app level build.gradle file

implementation 'com.google.firebase:firebase-core:16.0.6'

I got the following error as a result:

@iapicca I am also facing same issue.

shah-xad on 25 Nov 2019

Hi @shah-xad,
You should mention @iapicca

suha-glal on 26 Nov 2019

@suha-glal do you have any alternative for now?? As lower versions are also not working..

shah-xad on 26 Nov 2019

Hi @iapicca ,
Hello @shah-xad I did not find alternative solution....I have the same issue lower version donot work ....I had to implement part of the application I am working on using Java (Android) to speed up the data collection process. Once this bug is fixed I can implement the same part using Flutter.

suha-glal on 26 Nov 2019

Finally I have solved my issue by having this in Project build.gradle.

    dependencies {
        classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.2.1'
        classpath 'com.google.gms:google-services:4.3.3'
    }

Important: Don't update to latest gradle version. Just keep it to 3.2.1

And by adding these in App level build.grade

dependencies {
    implementation "android.arch.lifecycle:extensions:1.1.1"
    testImplementation "android.arch.core:core-testing:1.1.1"
}

Hi @shah-xad ,

Can you please share with me your

app-level build.gradle
project-level build.gradle
pubspec.yaml

I added the dependencies you mentioned but the problem is still persistent for me.
