Flutterfire: [cloud_firestore] The plugin cloud_firestore could not be built due to the issue above.

Created on 29 Jan 2020 · 18Comments · Source: FirebaseExtended/flutterfire

I've got this strange bug: if I use

cloud_firestore: ^0.13.0+1
flutter_downloader: ^1.4.0

then the project compiles and runs with this error:

Note: Some input files use or override a deprecated API.
Note: Recompile with -Xlint:deprecation for details.

If I remove flutter_downloader (because I'm actually not using it) then I get:

FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

* What went wrong:

i got the same problem. The message is not acurrate.
i fixed the problem by replacing all the build.gradle with "compileSdkVersion 27" to "compileSdkVersion 28" in the .pub-cache folder
i used this command for finding in mac for findind those files

find $HOME/App/flutter/.pub-cache -name build.gradle -type f -exec grep -l "compileSdkVersion 27" {} \; | grep -v 'example'

I solved this problem here. Just change gradle version in build.gradle

I put this version: classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.4.2'

I agree the message is misleading. I was able to resolve the issue by updating my gradle version at
/android/build.gradle to

classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.3.0'

It's not clear what the right version should be though. This problem emerged for me when I added a new package to my pubspec.yaml. I first looked for a build.gradle in that new package, but it didn't have one. Then I looked at the changes made to pubspec.lock and found that some transitive dependency packages were added to my project. I then looked at each of the transitive dependency projects for a build.gradle and found one that had a newer gradle version. Mine was 3.2.1 and the one I found was 3.3.0

any news?

rignaneseleo on 21 Apr 2020

changing the classpath to either 3.3.1 or 3.4.2 is not working for me

himanshuMaheshwari2311 on 21 Apr 2020

firebase_core: ^0.4.0+9
firebase_analytics: ^5.0.2
cloud_firestore: ^0.12.9+5

upgrading to these versions helped me fix the issue

In my case setting launch_background.xml color was used as hashtag. So reverted back the code. can be a problem in android manifest too inside /app/src.

Simply remove a piece of tag code in your XMLs and it will get all fixed up without a hurdle.
The error is a result of some messed up XML files (corrupted, unreadable, not compilable)

Thank me later. I do the same each time (y)

In my case, I received this error, but up above in the log had this:


FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

* What went wrong:

Execution failed for task ':flutter_twitter:verifyReleaseResources'.

Removing that package resolved the problem for me

i'm about to lose my mind about 3 day in the same error any news pls !!

I'm trying to figure out what is the root cause while building my flutter app.

try this command and it will tell you what happen here.

flutter -v build appbundle
// or
flutter -v build appbundle --flavor 'your_flavor_name' // if you're using flavor for your flutter.

FYI, my setting is like this.

// android/build.gradle
...
classpath 'com.google.gms:google-services:4.3.3'
...

// android/app/build.gradle
...
minSdkVersion 21
...

I hope it help you.

Hey, as part of our on-going work for #2582, we've reworked Firebase Firestore (#2913) which should resolve some previous build issues - this has now been merged into master. We'll look at publishing some prereleases in the next few days which it would be good if you could try. Thank you
