After adding the code above I'm getting another error (see below).

P.S I'm also using react-native-firebase. Maybe a collision of dependencies!?

FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

• What went wrong:
  Execution failed for task ':app:transformClassesWithMultidexlistForDebug'.

  Program type already present: co.apptailor.googlesignin.PendingAuthRecovery

os sometimes :

Program type already present: co.apptailor.googlesignin.BuildConfig

LATER EDIT:

Yep, it seems to be a collision of dependencies with react-native-firebase. The build was successful without react-native-firebase.

But cannot find the right build configuration to avoid this. Any ideas?

LATER EDIT:

It seems to have something to do with "multidex true" required by react-native-firebase firestore module.

I had the same problem. I followed @Ghcml advice (above).

1. I deleted the following line from the file \android\appbuild.gradle
   implementation(project(":react-native-google-signin"))

2. I added the following 2 lines to the file \android\settings.gradle

include ':react-native-google-signin'
project(':react-native-google-signin').projectDir = new File(rootProject.projectDir, '../node_modules/@react-native-community/google-signin/android')

[vonovak]

@Bilal-Abdeen the two lines in android\settings.gradle do not need to be there, either.

[Bilal-Abdeen]

@vonovak You are right. Thank you. Only deleting the following line from the file (\android\appbuild.gradle) seems to fix the problem.
implementation(project(":react-native-google-signin"))

@vonovak ,

I have commented all occurrences of 'react-native-google-signin' from both the files app\build.gradle and android\settings.gradle

I am using the following configs in android\app\build.gradle

def enableSeparateBuildPerCPUArchitecture = true
def enableProguardInReleaseBuilds = true

Enabling these gets me the following errors everytime ->

In Android Studio

ERROR: The modules ['@react-native-community-google-signin-android-@react-native-community_google-signin', '@react-native-community-google-signin-android-react-native-google-signin'] point to the same directory in the file system.
Each module must have a unique path.

In React Native Console

Task :app:transformClassesAndResourcesWithR8ForRelease FAILED
R8: Program type already present: co.apptailor.googlesignin.PendingAuthRecovery

[vonovak]

@saileshsahu that seems like a different issue. Please open a new one and add a runnable repro, thanks

try
in settings.gradle:
rootProject.name = 'YourProjectName'
apply from: file("../node_modules/@react-native-community/cli-platform-android/native_modules.gradle"); applyNativeModulesSettingsGradle(settings)
include ':react-native-google-signin'
project(':react-native-google-signin').projectDir = new File(rootProject.projectDir, '../node_modules/@react-native-community/google-signin/android')

include ':app'

but producing the following error
ERROR: The modules ['@react-native-community_google-signin', 'react-native-google-signin'] point to the same directory in the file system.

i'm confused
why is it

dependencies {
    implementation fileTree(dir: "libs", include: ["*.jar"])
    implementation "com.android.support:appcompat-v7:23.0.1"
    implementation "com.facebook.react:react-native:+"
    implementation(project(":react-native-google-signin"))
}

when project is @react-native-community/google-signin since v3 ?

works fine ( implementation(project(":react-native-community_google-signin")) )

dependencies {
    implementation fileTree(dir: "libs", include: ["*.jar"])
    implementation 'com.android.support:multidex:1.0.3' // use latest version
    implementation "com.android.support:appcompat-v7:28.0.0"
    //noinspection GradleDynamicVersion
    implementation "com.facebook.react:react-native:+"  // From node_modules
    implementation(project(":react-native-community_google-signin"))

@vonovak You are right. Thank you. Only deleting the following line from the file (\android\appbuild.gradle) seems to fix the problem.
implementation(project(":react-native-google-signin"))

Indeed, deleting this line seemed to fix the issue in my case.
