Nativescript-plugin-firebase: Failed to apply plugin [id 'com.google.gms.google-services']

[Daxito]

I am trying to use this plugin, but I get this error on "tns run android", any idea? any clue is appreciated.

• What went wrong:
  A problem occurred evaluating root project 'MyApp'.

Failed to apply plugin [id 'com.google.gms.google-services']
For input string: "+"

Thank you!

[EddyVerbruggen]

Do you have other plugins that use com.google.gms.google-services as well?

[Daxito]

I dont think so, I was using google maps before but I removed it, you think there are some remaining of it? I removed the platform and added it back in and still the issue.
These are my current plugins:

Thanks

[EddyVerbruggen]

Can you search the entire project for "com.google.gms.google-services:+"? or "com.google.gms:google-services:+" perhaps.

[Daxito]

Yes, found those, in the build.gradle file per your instructions.
Your demo app works, so I am going to start removing plugins and try to isolate the problem, I will check why one app works and the other one does not.... weird.

[Daxito]

The problem was that I had this other plugin installed https://github.com/NativeScript/push-plugin, and also my gradle had this other dependency compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-gcm:+' needed by the same plugin (that I am trying to replace with this one btw)
I add and remove Platforms to resolved issues a lot, it is not easy to automate the modification of the build.gradle right?

Thanks!

[EddyVerbruggen]

Nah it's not.. it would be possible but may be a little brittle. Think automatically running a node script upon install which add the required bits to the file. No rocket science of course..

[Daxito]

cool!
Thanks

And what should I do when I want to actually use a google maps plugin alongside firebase, and I get the same error as described above. tns platform add/remove android is not helping.

[EddyVerbruggen]

@rossbg that's documented here

@Daxito I am getting below error Please help

A problem occurred evaluating root project 'android'.
Failed to apply plugin [id 'com.google.gms.google-services']
For input string: "8+"

I placed classpath 'com.google.gms:google-services:3.0.0' under dependencies in buildscript in build.gradle

compile "com.google.android.gms:play-services-gcm:9.8+" in dependencies

apply plugin: 'com.google.gms.google-services' as last line in build.gradle

Every time I change + sign to 9.8.0 or 7.5.0 in com.google.android.gms:play-services-gcm:9.8.0 but after doing ionic build android it become com.google.android.gms:play-services-gcm:9.8+

The gradle dependency auto update to 9.8+ everytime. Kindly help. Struggling long time

[Daxito]

@ManiSJ I don't know if the ionic build is modifying that part, maybe you should also check your gradle file under the App_Resources/Android?

[ManiSJ]

@Daxito Build was successful after removing classpath 'com.google.gms:google-services:3.0.0' and adding classpath 'com.google.gms:google-services:1.3.0-beta1'

I think there is one more change needs to be done. Took me some time to figure this out.
This file should be changed (platforms/android/configurations/nativescript-admob/include.gradle)
From:

dependencies {
    compile "com.google.android.gms:play-services-ads:+"
}

To:

dependencies {
    compile "com.google.android.gms:play-services-ads:$googlePlayServicesVersion"
}

And of course this should be applied:

I am getting the same error.

In my Project added push plugin and google analytics plugin..i tried all the above solution but that not working,

[HamzaLJ]

Same here, not fixed yet !!
It seems that two cordova plugins are using the same library, that's why it throws the error, I don't know how it can be fixed!

[ryanlangton]

I'm trying to use ad-mob with this plugin and this is a problem. I can fix it by manually updating the include.gradle file but this doesn't work for a release build as this file is rebuilt.

[amit777]

I have the same exact issue as @abducbk . Cordova 7.0.1. phonegap-push-plugin 2.0.0. Will hack away and report if am able to fix it.

[EddyVerbruggen]

@abducbk @amit777 @HamzaLJ THis is not a Cordova plugin.

[tobiasmuecksch]

I've been able to fix it by following the answer in this Stackoverflow question: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/39280469/cordova-fcm-build-error-failed-to-apply-plugin-id-com-google-gms-google-ser

[manojdcoder]

Thank you @tobiasmuecksch It solved my issue too.

@EddyVerbruggen I had used "11.2.+" only as you have suggested in ReadMe. But until I change it to "11.2.2" I was still getting same issue (side note, I'm using Google Maps plugin in my Project).

[sudhan-ionic]

Mostly this error occurs due to while adding google-maps and push-notification plugin in a project.I don't think the problem is coming from this plugin. It's probably another plugin that is using the + to include dependencies. I hope this link helpful to you https://techionichybride.blogspot.co.id/2017/10/failed-to-apply-plugin-id.html

Hello,
I am creating application in NativeScript and i am using
"nativescript-google-maps-sdk": "2.5.0", and "nativescript-plugin-firebase": "5.1.7" in my project and both uses google services.
I am getting the same error after installing firebase plugin in my project.
Error is -

Failed to apply plugin [id 'com.google.gms.google-services']
For input string: "+"

Can anyone please help me to solve this?

[manojdcoder]

Its recommended to use 11.8.0 (from readme), same solved issues with my apps earlier.

[bettsjj]

I have just added admob to my firebase application. Now I am getting this error.

...node_modules/nativescript-plugin-firebase/platforms/android/include.gradle' line: 73

• What went wrong:
  A problem occurred evaluating script.
  > Failed to apply plugin [id 'com.google.gms.google-services']
  > For input string: "+"

Following the instructions, I have tried adding to the app.gradle

project.ext {
googlePlayServicesVersion = "11.8.0"
}

Can anyone please help me resolve the issue?

[bettsjj]

Resolved own issue.

https://github.com/EddyVerbruggen/nativescript-plugin-firebase/blob/master/docs/ADMOB.md

What about the nativescript-admob plugin?

There's currently no functional difference between the AdMob features in the Firebase plugin and nativescript-admob.

The main advantage of using the version in the Firebase plugin is to avoid a gradle build conflict in the Android build you may encounter when including both plugins in your app.
