[Nibot1]

Step 1: Are you in the right place?

• For issues or feature requests related to the code in this repository file a Github issue.
  
  
  
  • If you are filing an issue about FCM in the background make sure to read #4 and #89 first!
  
  
• For general technical questions, post a question on StackOverflow tagged appropriately.
• For general Firebase discussion, use the firebase-talk google group
• For help troubleshooting your application that does not fall under one of the above categories, reach out to the personalized Firebase support channel

Step 2: Describe your environment

• Android device: Samsung Galaxy S7
• Android OS version: 7.0
• Google Play Services version: 11.0.47
• Firebase/Play Services SDK version: 11.0.47

Step 3: Describe the problem:

The app Buildig makes an error with no error message

Steps to reproduce:

1. Use Android Studio with Gradle Plugin 3.0.0-alpha1 instead of 2.3.1
2. Try to run the App

Observed Results:

Gradle error like this:

Configuration on demand is an incubating feature.
Configuration 'compile' in project ':app' is deprecated. Use 'implementation' instead.
Configuration 'androidTestCompile' in project ':app' is deprecated. Use 'androidTestImplementation' instead.
Configuration 'testCompile' in project ':app' is deprecated. Use 'testImplementation' instead.

Expected Results:

That it Runns the App without an error

Relevant Code:

build.gradle(Module: app):

buildscript {
    repositories {
        jcenter()

    }
    dependencies {
        classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.0.0-alpha1'
        classpath 'com.google.gms:google-services:3.1.0'
        classpath 'com.google.firebase:firebase-plugins:1.1.0'



        // NOTE: Do not place your application dependencies here; they belong
        // in the individual module build.gradle files
    }
}

allprojects {
    repositories {
        jcenter()
    }
}

task clean(type: Delete) {
    delete rootProject.buildDir
}

Can you try running ./gradlew --stop and then building again? I think some running gradle daemons may be causing this (fixed it for me)

@samtstern
This doesn't work for me
but it throws an other error
Error:Execution failed for task ':app:packageInstantRunResourcesDebug'. org.gradle.tooling.BuildException (no error message)

[samtstern]

Which sample are you trying to build? Also can you get a more detailed error message?

[seventhmoon]

by just adding classpath 'com.google.firebase:firebase-plugins:1.1.0' in project gradle, we will receive following when build.
Error:java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: com.google.common.util.concurrent.MoreExecutors.directExecutor()Ljava/util/concurrent/Executor;

[Nibot1]

Google has sent me the following bug fix:
We've got it to work by replacing classpath 'com.google.firebase:firebase-plugins:1.1.0' with the following:

classpath ('com.google.firebase:firebase-plugins:1.1.0') {
exclude group: 'com.google.guava', module: 'guava-jdk5'
}

This crash occurs when there are different guava dependencies and will be fixed in the next plugin version.

[samtstern]

Looks like @Nibot1 found the fix for this issue a while ago. Closing, thanks!

[seventhmoon]

I think that is just a workaround. And this issue should be closed only if confirmed fixed in the next release.

[samtstern]

@seventhmoon the issue is closed here for a few reasons:

• The issue is not something that can be fixed by changing code in this repository
• We generally don't try to fully support pre-release software in our quickstarts

However we agree with you that this is not "solved" and we are certainly tracking it internally
