React-native-firebase: Attempted to use firebase module that's not installed on your android project- firebase.storage()

[phuzarski]

I have an error why I try call **firebase.storage()** anywhere in the app. What is more firebase.auth(), firebase.database()working fine.

I did gradlew clean, reinstalled all from package.json. Nothing help.

This bellow should be fine because auth and database work fine, but I paste it.

My build.gradle file

dependencies {
    compile project(':react-native-image-crop-picker')
    compile(project(':react-native-firebase')) {
        transitive = false
    }
    compile project(':react-native-fetch-blob')
    compile project(':react-native-fbsdk')
    implementation project(':react-native-image-crop-picker')
    implementation project(':react-native-fbsdk')
    implementation 'com.facebook.android:facebook-android-sdk:[4,5)'
    implementation project(':react-native-firebase')
    implementation fileTree(dir: "libs", include: ["*.jar"])
    implementation "com.android.support:appcompat-v7:27.1.1"
    implementation "com.facebook.react:react-native:+"  // From node_modules

    implementation(project(':react-native-firebase')) {
        transitive = false
    }

    implementation('com.crashlytics.sdk.android:crashlytics:2.9.1@aar') {
        transitive = true
    }

    implementation "com.google.android.gms:play-services-base:12.0.1"
    implementation "com.google.firebase:firebase-core:12.0.1"
    implementation "com.google.firebase:firebase-auth:12.0.1"
    implementation "com.google.firebase:firebase-database:12.0.1"

Please follow the installation instructions: https://rnfirebase.io/docs/v4.0.x/storage/android

You need to include the firebase-storage dependency in your build.gradle.

I am having similar issue with messaging, I am not using pods with linked the framework manually

@chrisbianca I don't know why people are down voting you. I was stuck by hours trying to get out of this error and the solution was install the firebase analytics part.

Thank you man!

stuck her too
i triple check the installation doc

[mikehardy]

I saw this once when I did not follow the installation doc.
In your android application java did you actually include/initialize things?

I solved the issue using:

new RNFirebaseNotificationsPackage()

into my MainApplication.java

[Anuskhan]

app/build.gradle
implementation "com.google.firebase:firebase-storage:15.0.2"

MainApplication.java

import io.invertase.firebase.RNFirebasePackage;
import io.invertase.firebase.auth.RNFirebaseAuthPackage; // <-- Add this line

public class MainApplication extends Application implements ReactApplication {
// ...

@Override
protected List<ReactPackage> getPackages() {
  return Arrays.<ReactPackage>asList(
      new MainReactPackage(),
      new RNFirebasePackage(),
      new RNFirebaseAuthPackage() // <-- Add this line
  );
}

};
// ...
}

I am stuck on this error and unable to solve it for 2 weeks, Please help me. I even installed react-native-firebase-auth

[BilalS10]

Im facing the same issue as @Jahanzai6 .
Tried everything given on this thread.
Included the dependencies in build.gradle as well as the main.application.java.
But still showing the same error.
Can someone please help here

[Jahanzai6]

haven't find the solution yet

[optimistic-coder]

i have same issue

[Jahanzai6]

i have same issue

I have found the solution,
if u r using react native version 0.60 then u have to add package in the MainApplication.java in following way.
packages.add( new RNFirebaseAuthPackage());

After adding this package if ur app is still not working then uninstall ur app from emulator and reinstall .....Then everything will work

For react-native-firebase modules on RN59 follow the pattern here https://github.com/mikehardy/rnfbdemo/blob/master/make-demo-rn59.sh

You can see what you have to do for each one in that script. You also have to add the pod in the Podfile for iOS of course

this is the right solution for whoever is using react-native 0.60+

@creativemind1 - an infinite number of ways to go wrong, maybe try generating a throwaway example by cloning this repo and running this script (assuming you are trying react-native-firebase v5 + react-native 0.60+?): https://github.com/mikehardy/rnfbdemo/blob/master/make-demo.sh

[creativemind1]

I'm using "react-native-firebase": "~5.6.0", "react-native": "https://github.com/expo/react-native/archive/sdk-36.0.1.tar.gz",. I'm using Expokit and in iOS all is fine but just have trouble with android. I wanted to clone your repo but again I thought as I'm using Expokit there might be some glitch somewhere..
