Google-signin: App crashes on startup after linking this library

[MhdSyrwan]

Hi,
I'm using react-native-firebase and according to their docs, I have to install this library in order to setup google signin.

After I link this library using react-native link react-native-google-signin and build the app, it crashes at startup.

When I check the output of adb logcat AndroidRuntime:E *:E, I get the following:

FATAL EXCEPTION: main

    "react-native-google-signin": "^0.11.0"
  }

Any ideas why this is happening ?

Thanks in advance.

I am experiencing the same error. Bump.

@MhdSyrwan I had a look at the example:

https://github.com/devfd/react-native-google-signin/blob/master/example/android/app/build.gradle

I changed:

implementation(':react-native-google-signin')

To:

implementation(project(':react-native-google-signin')){
exclude group: "com.google.android.gms"
}

Hope that helps.

@uppercase-army After applying the fix, it doesn't crash currently, but it's giving the following error

java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: com.google.android.gms.auth.api.signin.GoogleSignInResult

Meanwhile, implementation "com.google.android.gms:play-services-base:12.0.1" is included in my gradle file afterwards.

@MhdSyrwan

Can you give me a full stack trace? Also when is this error happening, on build or runtime or tapping on Google Sign in?

Also have you compared your android files with the examples one? It's likely there is a small difference between yours and theirs.

[MhdSyrwan]

it's happening at runtime when i start the app.

I will compare my android folder with the example one this evening.

Regarding the stack trace, sorry for the inconvenience, I couldn't get a text version of it (copy button is not working for some reason).

[AndreiCalazans]

Please check out our example app it has been updated and it's working.

If problem still persists please open new issue with a reproducible example so we can debug it.

thank you.

Posting here in case anyone else struggles with it: In my case the proposed "exclude" did not work. This solution seems to solve it: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/49953439/app-crashing-on-start-after-adding-react-native-firebase-in-android

Once I set libraries to version 15.0.0 things worked as expected. Note: I did not use the "force: true" option in build.gradle.

I think the reason I was having those issues is because I'm also using react-native-fcm.

The solution for me was to move the implementation 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-auth:15.0.1' as the last line in the dependencies. 🤦‍♂️
