Nativescript-plugin-firebase: Unable to build application when adding firestore

[antonio-costa]

I've been using MLKit with vue-cli-template without any problems, but now I've added firestore and the app doesn't build.
I've followed this to add firestore:

In case you're upgrading and you have the firebase.nativescript.json file in your project root, edit it and add: "firestore": true. Then run rm -rf platforms && rm -rf node_modules && npm i

I've tried to start another project with only MLKit and it works, only stops working when I add Firestore. Finally, if I remove Firestore (after installing it) the app will stay broken, even if I set "firestore": false, delete node_modules and run 'npm run clean'.

This is the output the console gives (error is in bold):

I am having exactly same issue

[makesitenow]

Same. Had to revert all the way down to 5.3.1 for it to work. Using vue-cli.

[EddyVerbruggen]

Anyone want to share a repo (and steps to reproduce) with the issue?

[makesitenow]

https://bitbucket.org/makesite/schools-nativescript-vuejs/src/master/

1. Update the plugin to 6.5
2. npm run clean
3. npm run watch:android

[EddyVerbruggen]

@makesitenow I'm pretty close to finding the issue, will post an update here.

[EddyVerbruggen]

@makesitenow I don't have write access to your repo, so can you apply this patch, run rm -rf node_modules; npm i and try again?

vue-patch.txt

[makesitenow]

Thanks!! Still writes an error:
Skip com.google.errorprone.annotations.IncompatibleModifiers
Error: java.lang.NullPointerException
But then the projects builds and runs on device.
I assume the vue cli template is just dated?
Thanks again

[EddyVerbruggen]

I saw that message as well but no idea what it means/causes it.

[kurmivivek295]

Was that problem solved? I am also getting the same error. I am using Angular.

[makesitenow]

@kurmivivek295 It recently returned for me. I updated the plugin to its latest version, updates tns core and so forth, and it started working again.

[EddyVerbruggen]

Share a repo and I might take a look.

[carlosdelfino]

I haven't released the code yet because it's too messy, despite the error:

Skip com.google.errorprone.annotations.IncompatibleModifiers
Error: java.lang.NullPointerException

it works almost perfectly, I'm just having functional issues as reported in the issue #1392, not if it's related.

I can zip and email you.

[olegjo]

I had the same issue. By adding multiDexEnabled true under defaultConfig in app.gradle resolved the issue.
