React-native-firebase: Firebase dependency updates are required to fix gradle v4+ builds

[IljaDaderko]

Issue

Google recently released gradle versions 3.3.0 and 3.3.1 that had bug in them related to multiple build types (like dev conflicting with prod etc...) they afterwards released gradle v4.0.0 and v4.0.1 with fixes, but these presented their own errors for outdated dependencies

In my case error was

The library com.google.android.gms:play-services-measurement-base is being requested by various other libraries at [[15.0.4,15.0.4]], but resolves to 15.0.2. Disable the plugin and check your dependencies tree using ./gradlew :app:dependencies.

None of my dependencies are using it, after inspecting my dependency tree via

$ ./gradlew app:dependencies

I found out that this particular module is coming from firebase-auth

+--- com.google.firebase:firebase-auth:15.1.0
|    +--- com.google.android.gms:play-services-base:[15.0.1,16.0.0) -> 15.0.1 (*)
|    +--- com.google.android.gms:play-services-basement:[15.0.1,16.0.0) -> 15.0.1 (*)
|    +--- com.google.android.gms:play-services-flags:[15.0.1,16.0.0) -> 15.0.1
|    |    +--- com.google.android.gms:play-services-base:[15.0.1] -> 15.0.1 (*)
|    |    \--- com.google.android.gms:play-services-basement:[15.0.1] -> 15.0.1 (*)
|    +--- com.google.android.gms:play-services-tasks:[15.0.1,16.0.0) -> 15.0.1 (*)
|    +--- com.google.firebase:firebase-analytics:[15.0.1,16.0.0) -> 15.0.2
|    |    +--- com.google.android.gms:play-services-basement:[15.0.1,16.0.0) -> 15.0.1 (*)
|    |    +--- com.google.android.gms:play-services-measurement-base:[15.0.2] -> 15.0.2

I created a stack-overflow issue and basically only suggestion was to make sure that firebase modules are up to date.

Looking at last 2 updates from firebase: https://firebase.google.com/support/release-notes/android#20180523 I updated ones I have inside my projects app/build.gradle to all the latest ones, but error persisted, I believe because these are not upgraded in react-native-firebase ? Fix was to use gradle 3.2.1 for now.

A side question: do we need to specify these firebase packages in react-native-firebase, i.e. will they not be inherited from parent project?

Environment

1. Application Target Platform: Android

1. Development Operating System: macOS High Sierra, Gradle v4

1. Build Tools: Android Studio 3

1. React Native version: 0.55.4

1. RNFirebase Version: 4.2.0

1. Firebase Module: Auth (I think many others)

@IljaDaderko @MariaSyed @openGeeksLab I've just pushed up support for this on a build-issues branch. There are a few other things that need looking at on the iOS side before this can be merged and released, but if you'd like to give it a try, you can do the following:

npm install --save https://github.com/invertase/react-native-firebase#build-issues

You'll need to update a few things:

1) android/build.gradle:

i) classpath 'com.google.gms:google-services:4.0.1'
ii) Make sure google() appears above jcenter() in both buildscripts and allprojects

2) android/app/build.gradle:

Update Android libs to the latest specified here: https://firebase.google.com/support/release-notes/android#20180523

Note that firebase-ads:16.0.0 does not actually exist, you'll need to stick on 15.0.1.

[vmahishi]

I had the same issue, the culprit is Firebase-Core as well in addition to Auth as pointed out by @IljaDaderko

[DeepaSriramRR]

Hi, I am facing the same issue. Is there any update on this ? I am working on the build-issues branch which fixed the issue in android and want to know when it will be pushed to release. I would also like to know about the iOS status.

[aMarCruz]

@DeepaSriramRR , as a temporal workaround you can disable version check of the Google plugin.

At the end of your android/app/build.gradle:

com.google.gms.googleservices.GoogleServicesPlugin.config.disableVersionCheck = true

[chrisbianca]

This has now been merged and will be part of our next release.

[juanxme]

remove com.google.gms.google-services plugin

[ms502040]

this is working - last libs form google
(earlier than the pullrequest to merge google have new libraries)
~~gradle
dependencies {
// compile fileTree(include: ['*.jar'], dir: 'libs')
api "com.facebook.react:react-native:+" // From node_modules
api "com.android.support:support-v4:$supportVersion"
compileOnly('com.crashlytics.sdk.android:crashlytics:2.9.3@aar') {
transitive = true
}
// compileOnly "com.google.android.gms:play-services-base:15.0.1"

[hegelstad]

@chrisbianca can you confirm if it is a part of 4.3.0?

[Salakar]

@hegelstad yes it will be part of v4.3.0

[hegelstad]

@Salakar I'm severely struggling with this issue. Using yarn add https://github.com/invertase/react-native-firebase#build-issues doesn't seem to work.

Do you have a minimal example of which versions that works together?

These are my deps:

dependencies {
    implementation (project(':react-native-firebase')) {
      transitive = false
    }
    implementation "com.google.firebase:firebase-core:16.0.1"
    implementation "com.google.firebase:firebase-auth:16.0.2"
    implementation "com.google.firebase:firebase-firestore:17.0.2"
    implementation "com.google.firebase:firebase-messaging:17.1.0"

    implementation (project(':react-native-maps')) {
      exclude group: 'com.google.android.gms', module: 'play-services-base'
      exclude group: 'com.google.android.gms', module: 'play-services-maps'
    }

    implementation "com.google.android.gms:play-services-base:15.0.1"
    implementation "com.google.android.gms:play-services-maps:15.0.1"

    implementation project(':react-native-wheel-datepicker')
    implementation project(':react-native-vector-icons')

    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 'me.leolin:ShortcutBadger:1.1.21@aar'
}

buildscript {
    repositories {
        maven {
          url 'https://maven.google.com'
          name 'Google'
        }
        jcenter()
    }
    dependencies {
        classpath 'com.google.gms:google-services:4.0.1'
        classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.1.2'
        // NOTE: Do not place your application dependencies here; they belong
        // in the individual module build.gradle files
    }
}

allprojects {
    repositories {
        maven {
          url 'https://maven.google.com'
          name 'Google'
        }
        maven {
            // All of React Native (JS, Obj-C sources, Android binaries) is installed from npm
            url "$rootDir/../node_modules/react-native/android"
        }
        mavenLocal()
        mavenCentral()
        jcenter()
    }
}

EDIT: My issues disappear when I remove react-native-maps from the dependencies. I'll investigate further.
EDIT2: It builds when edit node_modules/react-native-maps/lib/android/build.gradle:

def DEFAULT_GOOGLE_PLAY_SERVICES_VERSION    = "12.0.4"

to:

def DEFAULT_GOOGLE_PLAY_SERVICES_VERSION    = "15.0.1"

However i get a new error: RNFirebaseFirestore.documentGet got 5 arguments, expected 5.

Any ideas? I am running this version of RNFirebase: yarn add https://github.com/invertase/react-native-firebase#build-issues

EDIT3: Fixed it by bumping react-native-firebase's messaging dep to 17.1.0.
compileOnly "com.google.firebase:firebase-messaging:17.1.0"

[yeomann]

ok, I had something similar scenario, my current react native firebase is: "react-native-firebase": "^4.3.8", basically my all configs are somewhat similar to @hegelstad but I was still getting this error,

FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

* What went wrong:
Execution failed for task ':app:dependencies'.
> The library com.google.android.gms:play-services-basement is being requested by various other libraries at [[10.2.4,10.2.4], [15.0.1,15.0.1]], but resolves to 15.0.1. Disable the plugin and check your dependencies tree using ./gradlew :app:dependencies.

The error basically address that some other module is also relaying on Google play service, and it might have a default version which is conflicting with the one react-native-firebase is using. This is same situation explained above by @hegelstad that react-native-maps were having a default version which was causing the issue.
Obviously idle solution won't be relying on going on each module and modifying there build.gradle
so, the simple solution is actually this

ext {
    buildToolsVersion = "27.0.3"
    minSdkVersion = 19
    compileSdkVersion = 27
    targetSdkVersion = 27
    supportLibVersion = "27.1.1"
    googlePlayServicesVersion = "15.0.1" // <-- this line here tell other modules to overwrite and use this instead of default
}

add above ext{} in build.gradle. If you are installing latest react-native with 0.56.0 then you will be having already ext{} with targeting SDK of 26. If the issue by change still persists, then add following at the end of same build.gralde

subprojects {
    afterEvaluate {project ->
        if (project.hasProperty("android")) {
            android {
                compileSdkVersion 27
                buildToolsVersion '27.0.3'
                supportLibVersion = "27.1.1"
                googlePlayServicesVersion = "15.0.1" //<-- life save line? 
            }
        }
    }
}

[mowbell]

I suggest you first check it:
invertase/react-native-firebase#1155 (comment)
And verify in your graddle.properties, to remove it:
org.gradle.configureondemand=true
Taken of:
https://proandroiddev.com/bundling-react-native-during-android-release-builds-ec52c24e200d
It works for me

[vikrantnegi]

@yeomann @mowbell This does resolve the sync issue but this forces google maps to use google play services version of 15.0.1 which is causing the app to crash on startup. Google maps uses google play services version of 10.0.1 and works normally.

[yeomann]

sorry but you might have something else. I am having no issue here @vikrantnegi also its not necessary that react native maps will just depends upon version 10. if you read the source of react native maps, you can see ternary statement saying use default if app doesn't specify google play service version

[linux08]

Issue persist when integrating along with react-native google maps ,@vikrantnegi found a fix yet

[Victorams]

Having the same problem described by @vikrantnegi . App freezes on startup when the sync issue is solved by setting GooglePlayVersion to 15.0.1. I use google maps due to some other library on my project.

[vikrantnegi]

@linux08 @Victorams Yes the issue get fixed by setting googlePlayServicesVersion = "15.0.1".

worked for me after adding the following code to android/build.gradle

maven { url 'https://maven.google.com' name 'Google' }

[Braden1996]

Can't get this working either :(
If I add com.google.gms.googleservices.GoogleServicesPlugin.config.disableVersionCheck = true, the build succeeds but can't connect to my firebase project 🤔

[arivanandan]

In app/build.gradle, I used

    implementation "com.google.firebase:firebase-core:16.0.3"
    implementation "com.google.firebase:firebase-messaging:17.3.0"
    implementation "com.google.android.gms:play-services-base:15.0.1"
    implementation "com.google.android.gms:play-services-location:15.0.1"

ATM, I believe the tutorials specify 16.0.1 for firebase-core and 17.1.0 for firebase-messaging.

Go to https://firebase.google.com/docs/android/setup and scroll to the bottom and match the Available Libraries section.

(This apart from the googlePlayServicesVersion mentioned above.)

[mcorner]

I know this issue is closed, but I wanted to leave my own strategy for solving this problem so that perhaps it helps someone or someone can tell me a simpler way. If google is listening, you have little idea of the pain this has caused....

We use a large number of libraries that depend on google services and firebase. We don't control those libraries, and some are not well maintained. We could fork them all, but that is it's own form of terrible. The only way we could get everything to work together is three things:

1. Exclude the google and firebase modules from being included by modules in your app gradle. For instance a few:

    implementation(project(':react-native-fcm')) {
      exclude group: "com.google.firebase"
    }
    implementation(project(':tipsi-stripe')) {
        exclude group: "com.google.android.gms"
    } 
    implementation(project(':react-native-google-sign-in')) {
        exclude group: "com.google.android.gms"
    }

1. Reinclude the ones you need, for instance:

    implementation 'com.google.firebase:firebase-core:16.0.3'
    implementation 'com.google.firebase:firebase-messaging:17.3.2'
    implementation 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-auth:16.+'
    implementation 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-wallet:16.+'
    implementation 'com.google.firebase:firebase-auth:16.+'

1. Fix all the "is being requested by various other libraries" resolution problems with a custom resolver in your top level gradle file. For instance:

allprojects {
  repositories {

  configurations.all {
    resolutionStrategy {
      force 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-basement:15.0.1'
      force 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-tasks:15.0.1'
      force 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-base:15.0.1'
      force 'com.google.firebase:firebase-analytics:16.0.3'
      force 'com.google.firebase:firebase-iid:17.0.2'
      force 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-ads-lite:15.0.1'
      force 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-ads:15.0.1'
      force 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-gass:15.0.1'
      force 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-wallet:16.0.0'
      }
    }

Without 1) you get conflicts where the same library is being included twice. I think you get duplicate symbols and the like.

Without 2) your program will fail at runtime because it can't find the libraries it needs.

Without 3) it will fail to compile with messages like "The library com.google.android.gms:play-services-basement is being requested by various other libraries at [[15.0.1,15.0.1]]..." My impression is that this error is coming from google's own gradle plugin. Gradle's dependency tree doesn't show these dependencies once you exclude them and that error comes from google?

The solution here: https://github.com/invertase/react-native-firebase/issues/1155#issuecomment-410886346 only works if every underlying module you are using respects that config variable, which many (most?) do not.

There must be an easier way!!!

[mpalmerlee]

@mcorner I was hitting the same The library com.google.android.gms:play-services-basement is being requested by various other libraries at [[15.0.1,15.0.1]]... issue after adding the react-native-google-signin package, after checking back through the setup instructions it recommends adding the ext section to the build.gradle file like this:

ext {
    googlePlayServicesVersion   = "15.0.1"
}

Once I did that all the mismatched dependency errors went away.

https://github.com/react-native-community/react-native-google-signin/blob/master/android-guide.md#choose-dependency-versions-optional

[gagangoku]

@mcorner 💯
Thank you for the detailed steps. Every time I have to add firebase as a dependency in any project, i spent 3+ days just getting it to build. Google really needs to fix their shit.

It would be a huge help if you could just tell me what versions would work for me. These are the modules i need to use:
react-native-firebase
react-native-maps
react-native-share
react-native-code-push
appcenter-crashes
appcenter-analytics
appcenter
react-native-vector-icons

Questions:
com.google.firebase:firebase-messaging : what version to use ?
com.google.firebase:firebase-core : what version to use ?

in android/build.gradle:
classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:' : what version to use ?
classpath 'com.google.gms:google-services:' : what version to use ?

[mcorner]

@mpalmerlee That is only going to work in limited cases, where all of your modules respect that variable. Some do (stripe and google-signin seem to), but we use several libraries that do not.

@gagangoku I think the key is that you used: com.google.gms.googleservices.GoogleServicesPlugin.config.disableVersionCheck = true // Its sad that i had to resort to this

Which does seem dangerous, but may be doing the same thing I did in the end anyway.

I agree, Google has made this super hard.

[gagangoku]

@mcorner : agreed.

[mhmoafi]

I have this error with
implementation 'com.google.firebase:firebase-core:16.0.4'
implementation "com.google.firebase:firebase-auth:16.0.3"
but new fbAuth
implementation "com.google.firebase:firebase-auth:16.0.4"
it is work fine for me

[niranjanbprajapati]

I am facing the issue i have reported at here

If some one can help it would be great stuck at this badly. its basically conflicts in react-native-maps vs react-native-firebase as if i remove maps it will work fine.

[jonatslab]

still having this issue..

[arepageek]

I was having this issue and after testing i just change on build.gradle

from:

allprojects {

  repositories {

    mavenLocal()

    jcenter()
    maven {

      // All of React Native (JS, Obj-C sources, Android binaries) is installed from npm

      url "$rootDir/../node_modules/react-native/android"

    }
    google() 
   }
} 

to

allprojects {

  repositories {

    mavenLocal()

    maven {

      // All of React Native (JS, Obj-C sources, Android binaries) is installed from npm

      url "$rootDir/../node_modules/react-native/android"

    }
    google()
    jcenter()
   }
}

and now its working

[AndrewHenderson]

This resolved it: https://stackoverflow.com/a/51213879/933711

Move jcenter() to the bottom of repositories in android/build.gradle.

buildscript {
    ext.kotlin_version = '1.2.50'
    repositories {
        google()
        maven {
            url 'https://maven.google.com/'
            name 'Google'
        }
        jcenter()
    }

and

allprojects {
    repositories {
        google()
        jcenter()
    }
  }

[jasan-s]

What resolved this error for me was to add the following to the bottom of android/app/build.gradle
right after apply plugin: 'com.google.gms.google-services'

// ...
apply plugin: 'com.google.gms.google-services'

// THE FOLLOWING CODE IS NEEDED TO GET FIREBASE ANDROID SDK WORKING
configurations.all {
    resolutionStrategy {
        force 'com.android.support:support-v4:27.1.0'
    }
}
com.google.gms.googleservices.GoogleServicesPlugin.config.disableVersionCheck = true

It would be nice to add this to the Docs

[blogui91]

@mpalmerlee thank you!!! that did the trick

[Ajaykumar02]

com.google.gms.googleservices.GoogleServicesPlugin.config.disableVersionCheck = true

Instead of above line use,
googleServices { disableVersionCheck = true } if your google services version is >4.0 'com.google.gms:google-services:4.3.2'
