React-native-firebase: 🔥RNFirebaseInvites - error: cannot find symbol

[wmonecke]

Issue

ON ANDROID ONLY - iOS WORKS FINE
When running ./gradlew assembleRelease I get the following error from RNFirebaseInvites:
(which is a module I am not even implementing)

I see this issues here is very similar, however there was no solution?

And this issue, but solutions include going to v4 which is a no-no

Any help is welcome!

See here: Version supported
Upgrade your RN version would resolve the issue.

Hi, I was following Option 1 of this guide and I have similar issues but I have the right supported versions. Below are the compile error as well as some details.

Try change your compileSdkVersion(buildToolsVersion and gradle if apply) to 28 since getNotificationChannelGroup was added in api 28

[gorvinsky]

Try change your compileSdkVersion(buildToolsVersion and gradle if apply) to 28 since getNotificationChannelGroup was added in api 28

I have made the following changes in android/build.gradle

buildscript {
    ext {
        buildToolsVersion = "28.0.2" // default is "27.0.3"
        minSdkVersion = 16
        compileSdkVersion = 28 // default is 27
        targetSdkVersion = 26
        supportLibVersion = "27.1.1"
    }
    ...
}

Now it can build successfully but it immediately crashed when starting intent.

[mikehardy]

I think you will also want supportLibVersion 28.0.0 - why not the latest?

You aren't specifying play services either, you may want like

buildscript {
    ext {
        buildToolsVersion = "28.0.3"
        minSdkVersion = 16
        compileSdkVersion = 28
        targetSdkVersion = 28
        supportLibVersion = "28.0.0"
        supportVersion = "28.0.0"
        googlePlayServicesLocationVersion = "16.0.0"
        googlePlayServicesVersion = "16.0.0"
        googlePlayServicesVisionVersion = "17.0.2"
        reactNativeVersion = "+"

(yes a couple of those are redundant - this is likely more than you - or I - need but it does run...)

I have tried your suggestion and is still the same. In case you didn't notice, I was following Option 1 of this guide.

[Chenjh1992]

Hard to tell without any crash info..Check your logcat when open the app and you should able to find something.

[gorvinsky]

I was not able to reproduce the bug by creating a brand new project. So I just ditched the old project. Thank you for the responses guys.

Hi :wave:
I have also faced this error in RNFirebaseNotificationManager.java . Can you please guide me to solve this error ?
These are the followings method are missing:

1. notificationChannelGroup.getDescription() ,
2. notificationChannelGroup.setDescription(description)
3. notificationManager.getNotificationChannelGroup(channelGroupId)

[Chenjh1992]

compileSdkVersion rootProject.hasProperty('compileSdkVersion') ? rootProject.compileSdkVersion : DEFAULT_COMPILE_SDK_VERSION This line would use compileSdkVersion=27 instead of DEFAULT_COMPILE_SDK_VERSION = 28

[badarshahzad]

@Chenjh1992 thank you for your response. Yes you are right I can write compileSdkVersion=27 but I get my answer from your point. The react lib using 28 version and root app using 27. I just simply updated the root app version in ext to 28. The problem is solved now.

Thank you everyone for your communication and contribution to this issue.

ext {
//    compileSdkVersion   = 27
//    targetSdkVersion    = 27
//    minSdkVersion       = 16
//    buildToolsVersion   = "27.0.3"

I've fixed this issue in my code just adding these lines in android/app/src/main/java/com/myapp/MainApplication.java:

// this import is for another package
import io.invertase.firebase.messaging.RNFirebaseMessagingPackage;
// this is the import that fixed my issue
import io.invertase.firebase.notifications.RNFirebaseNotificationsPackage;

[ravikiran6763]

this does not help I still have the same error

[unicornRainbows]

me too...

[umair-khanzada]

I'm facing the same issue.

[mikehardy]

This is a closed and very old issue. Please open a new one following the template, but also please make sure you are using compatible versions from the "Getting Started" page on the rnfirebase.io docs site, because I ton't think invites even exists any more in v5.5.x

[abhisri2090]

in my case, I have down graded my react native firebase version from 5.5.1 to 5.2.3 and its working fine.

[mikehardy]

@abhisri2090 no, it's not really working fine. Invites are discontinued and you can't successfully use versions of the underlying SDKs that work on iOS13 and Android 9+. I'm not even sure you can do releases on react-native 0.58+ which are required to target Android SDK 28+ which is required to upload any builds to the Play Store

[alejandroyunes]

i get this error right after installing firebase with the quick start
Task :app:processDebugGoogleServices FAILED

[mikehardy]

@alejandroyunes posting that comment on a solved issue won't get help - please open a new issue following the complete template and double-checking you followed the docs right. Here is an example if you want to see all the integration steps https://github.com/mikehardy/rnfbdemo/blob/master/make-demo-v6.sh

[mahmoudmahdi24]

Try change your compileSdkVersion(buildToolsVersion and gradle if apply) to 28 since getNotificationChannelGroup was added in api 28

I have made the following changes in android/build.gradle

buildscript {
    ext {
        buildToolsVersion = "28.0.2" // default is "27.0.3"
        minSdkVersion = 16
        compileSdkVersion = 28 // default is 27
        targetSdkVersion = 26
        supportLibVersion = "27.1.1"
    }
    ...
}

Now it can build successfully but it immediately crashed when starting intent.

This solution worked for me, Thanks !
