Any fix or workaround for this?

[shubham-2710]

Any update on this ?

[biancaFarcas]

I was not able to solve this problem, so I had to find another library

[Solly74]

Thanks @biancaFarcas which library are using now?

[Solly74]

Adding the following in the build.gradle file compiles for me.

android {
    configurations.all {
        resolutionStrategy.force 'com.google.code.findbugs:jsr305:3.0.0'
    }
}

see fix

[shuffledex]

it doesn’t work for me. I have the same error and can't compile. any suggestion?

[mikehardy]

Pin your versions in main build.gradle https://github.com/invertase/react-native-firebase-starter/blob/master/android/build.gradle#L3

then reference them everywhere else like so https://github.com/react-native-community/react-native-device-info/blob/master/example/android/app/build.gradle#L143

basically any time I see "resolutionStrategy" in a gradle file, and it's not because there are two legitimately different implementations you can choose from (like camera with mlkit or basic) it tells me that gradle versions haven't been pinned so modules don't know what to use and you get clashes

[biancaFarcas]

@Solly74 now I am using react-native-push-notification as I only needed react-native-firebase for notifications module.

[ydhn]

I faced the exact same error with my project.
I can't explain why but after using npm instead of using yarn, I was able to build successfully.
probably could not be a solution but hope it would work for you.

[timomeara]

any progress on this? i'm close to dumping firebase :/

[mikehardy]

This isn't a problem, as near as I can tell. @timomeara did you follow my recommendations? it builds, it works...but you have to pin the dependencies in your gradle config

[timomeara]

This isn't a problem, as near as I can tell. @timomeara did you follow my recommendations? it builds, it works...but you have to pin the dependencies in your gradle config

thanks mike- i did fix it, but pinning the deps didn't help. i basically started from scratch :)

Adding the following in the build.gradle file compiles for me.

android {

resolutionStrategy.force 'com.google.code.findbugs:jsr305:3.0.0'
}
}

see fix

Just to be specific build.gradle of react-native-firebase

[diegocalero0]

Put this line
implementation "com.google.code.findbugs:jsr305:3.0.2"

in node-module/react-native-firebase/android/build.gradle into dependencies block

[mikehardy]

Put this line
implementation "com.google.code.findbugs:jsr305:3.0.2"

in node-module/react-native-firebase/android/build.gradle into dependencies block

No, don't do that. It's dangerous advice. Why? That change will be overridden every time you install packages, and it will just fail immediately if your CI is building clean (as it should). Don't ever modify node_modules directly or advise others to do so.

If you must fiddle with node_modules, use "patch_package".

In this case, the gradle resolution strategy suggestions in your apps build.gradle are sufficient

[mikehardy]

There is a valid workaround on this issue, and in general I don't believe this module is responsible. Here's a demo from react-native init through a running app, no problem: https://github.com/mikehardy/rnfbdemo

[gogoku]

@mikehardy can you please provide an example for pinning the dependency ?

[mikehardy]

already in the thread - https://github.com/invertase/react-native-firebase/issues/1954#issuecomment-492737681

[gogoku]

Thanks for the quick reply
@mikehardy I was not able to get what has to be pinned exactly,
I have not stated com.google.code.findbugs:jsr305 as a dependancy in ap pgradlew file

[mikehardy]

gradle handles dependencies recursively. can you imagine if you specified each dependency without gradle handling it? You probably depend on more than 100 projects.

But if you have resolution conflicts between different versions of the same recursive dependency (like jsr305) then you have to instruct gradle to pin the dependency even though it wasn't specified by you

Gradle education is beyond the scope of this project though - the comment above should work, and if not gradle has ample documentation, with company Q&A on stackoverflow

[sujayjaju]

Adding this to app/build.gradle dependencies made it work for me

implementation('com.squareup.okhttp3:okhttp:3.12.1') { force = true }
implementation('com.squareup.okio:okio:1.15.0') { force = true }
implementation('com.google.code.findbugs:jsr305:3.0.2') { force = true}

[ccorcos]

@mikehardy I really appreciate your help here. I think most of us are Android n00bs.

I tried pinning versions in a variety of ways and either got the same errors or more errors 🤦‍♂

Would you mind being _really specific_ about what I should do to fix this issue?

I've tried adding things to android/build.gradle and android/app/build.grade, but I'm not sure I was doing any of it right.

For example, I was hunting around in React Native 60 and found these versions:

OKHTTP_VERSION=3.12.1
api("com.google.code.findbugs:jsr305:3.0.2")
api("com.squareup.okhttp3:okhttp:${OKHTTP_VERSION}")
api("com.squareup.okio:okio:1.15.0")

Among other things, I tried adding this to my android/app/build.grade and it did nothing.

    implementation('com.squareup.okhttp3:okhttp:3.12.1') { force = true }
    implementation('com.squareup.okio:okio:1.15.0') { force = true }
    implementation('com.google.code.findbugs:jsr305:3.0.2') { force = true}

Another thing I tried is inside android/build.gradle adding the following to dependencies, but this caused more errors.

        classpath 'com.google.code.findbugs:jsr305:3.0.2'

I also tried in android/app/build.gradle but this didnt do anything either.

android {
    configurations.all {
        resolutionStrategy.force 'com.squareup.okhttp3:okhttp:3.12.1'
        resolutionStrategy.force 'com.squareup.okio:okio:1.15.0'
        resolutionStrategy.force 'com.google.code.findbugs:jsr305:3.0.2'
    }
}

I'd really appreciate any help -- I've been spinning my wheels all day and exhausted all of the google searched I can think of 🙏

[ccorcos]

I tried deleting react-native-firebase and everything worked so its definitely something to do with the library.

I did some search in this library and I couldn't find anywhere that the okhttp dependency was specified...

[mikehardy]

'. /gradlew :app:deoendencies" is how you can debug gradle resolution the problem is in between rnfb and some other library

[ccorcos]

FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

* What went wrong:
Task 'deoendencies' not found in project ':app'. Some candidates are: 'dependencies'.

Sounds like a type-o somewhere but I can't find this anywhere in my project or node_modules... 🤔

[ccorcos]

Oh that was in the command! lol 🤦‍♂

[ccorcos]

./gradlew :app:dependencies results in BUILD SUCCESSFUL

I'm trying to track down this one single error that I get when I sync with gradle files.

@ccorcos no idea, I can't reproduce. You might make a new sample project from react-native init on github that reproduces the problem and share it. All I know is that some one is saying they want findbugs:jsr305 strictly as 3.0.0 and someone else wants 3.0.2 so it's failing. Which library is doing that? no idea from the information provided

Well I think I figured it out https://github.com/facebook/react-native/issues/12309

+--- com.facebook.react:react-native:+ -> 0.20.1

I was installing react-native from a fork that has a small fix for iOS share extensions and the /android directory wasn't built...

Anyways, it works now! Thanks for the help 😄
