React-native-firebase: Could not resolve all files for configuration error while setup in android

[prateek3255]

I followed all the steps as stated in the android installation guide but still, I am continuously facing this error

Could not resolve all files for configuration ':react-native-firebase:debugCompileClasspath'.
> Could not find firebase-messaging.jar (com.google.firebase:firebase-messaging:15.0.2).
  Searched in the following locations:
      https://jcenter.bintray.com/com/google/firebase/firebase-messaging/15.0.2/firebase-messaging-15.0.2.jar

Here are my build.gradle files look something just like this -

android/build.gradle

buildscript {

        classpath 'com.google.gms:google-services:3.2.1'

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

allprojects {

        mavenLocal()
        jcenter()

I have gone through the issues of people facing similar bugs but still nothing seems to be working out.

Thanks for the help in advance ;)

I am running into the same issue

[gabsschneider]

I fixed this error after some few changes, don't know which one had the actual impact though. Here are my gradle files:

project/build.gradle

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

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

            // jitpack repo is necessary to fetch ucrop dependency
            maven { url "https://jitpack.io" }
        }
    }
}

Apparently moving the google() to the top of the repositories fixes some issues I was facing, according to this answer. It did for me.

As I said, I don't know exactly what made it work, but I hope it helps you!

@gabsschneider thank you!

for me the line with "com.google.android.gms:play-services-base:15.0.1" from file project/app/build.gradle needed to be replaced. That's what f*cked up my project.

Thank You!

[prateek3255]

Thank you! @gabsschneider It worked for me!

[gabsschneider]

@cristianonescu @prateek3255 you're welcome!

Thank You!!! @gabsschneider I had the same issue!

Hi, I am also trying to add the react-native-firebase but looking at this example https://rnfirebase.io/docs/v4.3.x/auth/phone-auth#signInWithPhoneNumber I am not sure where to add firebase configuration

var config = {
apiKey: "",
authDomain: ".firebaseapp.com",
databaseURL: "https://.firebaseio.com",
projectId: "",
storageBucket: ".appspot.com",
messagingSenderId: "",
};
firebase.initializeApp(config);

Can you please tell me the steps to do PhoneNumber authentication?

thank you

Thanks @gabsschneider !!
Moving the google() to the top of the repositories fixed my issue.
