Googleplayservicescomponents: Xamarin.Firebase.Firestore 71.1705.0 Stills not working

[JPZV]

Xamarin.Android Version (eg: 6.0):

9.4.1.0

Operating System & Version (eg: Mac OSX 10.11):

Windows 10 Build 18362

Google Play Services Version (eg: 8.4.0):

71.1610.0

Describe your Issue:

This is a continuation from #239 which wasn't fixed at all.
Everytime when you try to make any type of call to Firestore, the App will crash with the below exception. The important part is that, according to the stack trace, the "io.opencensus.tags.Tags" class is missing.

Steps to Reproduce (with link to sample solution if possible):

1. Create a simple Android Xamarin project.
2. Add all principal Firebase modules and Google Play Services nugets.
3. Initializing Firebase with Google JSON file.
4. Make any type of call to Firestore (like retrieving a document).
5. Now the app should crash with the exception below.

Also you can download the file from This comment

Include any relevant Exception Stack traces, build logs, adb logs:

interesting

[moljac]

our tooling incorrectly reported transitive dependencies.

opencensuse artifacts are being bound.

[moljac]

Seems that our dependency detection tool has some issues with transitive dependencies.

opencensus libraries are telemetry libraries used by google.

The highest priority is to finish those bindings ASAP.

Duplicates

Xamarin.Firebase.Firestore 71.1705.0 since Preview3 doesn't work #239

https://github.com/xamarin/GooglePlayServicesComponents/issues/239

Firebase Firestore version 71.1705.0 not working #233

https://github.com/xamarin/GooglePlayServicesComponents/issues/233

[guillermo-gerard]

Is there any workaround to make this working? I'm working on a big project and we are stuck because of this issue. I'm not able to downgrade to a lower version because if I do that, other parts of the project stop working

[akamud]

Same problem here. Since Azure Mobile Apps won’t be available after November 11th, this was our fallback. There will probably be more people in the same scenario.

[moljac]

@akamud @guillermo-gerard @xamarindevelopervietnam @JPZV

TL;DR: I'm actively working on this issue!

Details:

new versions of firebase have dependencies on newer versions of gRPC (Xamarin.Google.Grpc nugets) which introduced new dependencies (io.opencensus and grpc-context).

I finished binding OpenCensus

https://www.nuget.org/packages/Xamarin.Io.OpenCensus.OpenCensusApi/
https://www.nuget.org/packages/Xamarin.Io.OpenCensus.OpenCensusContribGrpcMetrics/

but grpc-context is not trivial (tons of errors I'm working through)

I beg for your patience.

[KennyDizi]

thanks for your update @moljac !
hope you will finish ASAP!

[moljac]

Doing my best.

[KennyDizi]

any progress?

[moljac]

A lot, but hit some blockers on CI during samples builds

@JPZV @xamarindevelopervietnam @akamud @guillermo-gerard

The issue should be fixed in version 71.20190927

Packages:

• Xamarin.Firebase.Firestore 71.1705.1

Please update your packages and provide us feedback here (or even close the issue if issue is fixed)
Thanks

@moljac

It's works, but I had to install Guava (Xamarin.Google.Guava v27.1.0) otherwise Firestore will throw this exception:

This is a well known issue before version 71, but, in this case, Guava is not listed as Dependency in Nuget. It should be nice to add it as Dependency in the next update.

Also, note that neither v27.1.0.1 nor v27.1.0.2 worked for me (both threw me the same exception as if I didn't install Guava)

[KennyDizi]

thank for the update @JPZV

[JPZV]

Also, feel free to close this issue as the main problem (opencensus) was fixed correctly. I will not close it yet because I don't know if you want to use this for a reference about Guava.

[moljac]

@JPZV Thanks for info.

Added dependency. Must tag and wait Azure builds. So, expect fix tomorrow
