React-native-firebase: Could not invoke RNFirebaseMessaging.subscribeToTopic

[ocir1927]

I have this problem: when calling method subscribeToTopic or unsubscribeToTopic this error prompts.
I mention that i have used methods from firebase.messaging() like request permissions and also received a notification sent from console.
Tried changing versions of dependencies in build.gradle in many ways, and nothing.

build.gradle:

dependencies {
implementation fileTree(dir: "libs", include: ["*.jar"])
implementation "com.android.support:appcompat-v7:23.0.1"
implementation "com.facebook.react:react-native:+"

implementation project(':react-native-firebase')

implementation "com.google.android.gms:play-services-base:15.0.1"
implementation "com.google.firebase:firebase-core:16.0.1"
implementation "com.google.firebase:firebase-auth:15.1.0"
implementation "com.google.firebase:firebase-functions:16.0.1"

implementation(project(":react-native-google-signin")){         
    exclude group: "com.google.android.gms"
}
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 project(':react-native-vector-icons')
implementation 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-maps:15.0.1'
implementation 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-auth:15.0.1'
implementation "com.google.firebase:firebase-firestore:15.0.0"
implementation "com.google.firebase:firebase-messaging:15.0.2"
implementation 'me.leolin:ShortcutBadger:1.1.21@aar'

I am having the same issue after updating.
This commit is the problem.
By matching the version I am using with this, it started to work again

https://github.com/invertase/react-native-firebase/commit/dae0645006bc732480731731909547b86448905a

@wasedaigo
After updating what?
What version do you use?

[wasedaigo]

I mean, after updating the version of react-native-firebase, I started to have the same issue. To fix the problem I needed to modify build.gradle of my Android project.

I think firebase-messaging needs to be 17.0.0 as in this commit https://github.com/invertase/react-native-firebase/commit/dae0645006bc732480731731909547b86448905a

I've change all my dependencies as those in the commit, still same issue.
Have you made any other changes?
Can you share your build.gradle?

[wasedaigo]

dependencies {
    implementation project(':react-native-iap')
    implementation project(':react-native-firebase')
    implementation project(':react-native-exit-app')
    implementation project(':react-native-device-info')
    implementation project(':react-native-sound')
    implementation fileTree(include: ['*.jar'], dir: 'libs')

Hi all,

Please see the versions of the SDK's listed on the v4.3.0 release notes - these have been tested to work; https://github.com/invertase/react-native-firebase/releases/tag/v4.3.0 and should solve this issue if matched up correctly.

Thanks!
