React-native-firebase: Getting could not invode RNFirebaseFirestore.documentSet null No virtual method Set

[thirappusuresh]

Issue

Please find the attached screenshot for exact error. I'm getting this error when I'm trying to set the data to firestore. Following is the code

import firebase from 'react-native-firebase';

export function updateMemberDetails() {
firebase
.firestore()
.collection('communities')
.doc('communityname')
.collection('members')
.doc('memberid')
.set({ field1: 'value1' })
.then(function(docRef) {})
.catch(function(error) {
console.error('Error updating userChannel : ', error);
});
}

I'm calling updateMemberDetails() method from different component. I was able to debug and see that the code is entering the method after that I'm getting could not invode RNFirebaseFirestore.documentSet null No virtual method Set error. It's not going to catch block also

I have the same problem on android but it works fine on iOS. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance

A solution I found: was to revert back to firestore version 17.1.5
dependencies {
// ...
implementation "com.google.firebase:firebase-firestore:17.1.5"
}

@thirappusuresh please can fill out the full issue template, we can't guess what android versions of the SDKs you're running. 🙈

This error occurs though when you're using an incorrect version of the Android Firestore SDK. You should be using 17.1.5 as the docs indicate and as @Josh-Uvi pointed out above.
