React-native-firebase: [RN 0.60.4] Redbox: The [[DEFAULT]] firebase app has not been initialized!

[fungilation]

Issue

After upgrading RN to 0.60 from 0.59.9, I'm getting on Android on app launch, redbox: The [[DEFAULT]] firebase app has not been initialized!

I've tried all logical permutations of android configs I can think of, pasted below.

iOS works fine, issue is only on Android.

Can you see anything in the logs? The com.google.gms.google-services plugin does spit out errors if it can't find the JSON file, or can't read it.

[fungilation]

Where would that log be? apply plugin: 'com.google.gms.google-services' has been in my app's build.gradle before RN 0.60 upgrade for a long while, that line and firebase config hasn't changed.

If you mean adb logcat "*:E", I can look again but I did use that to fix crash on app launch issues before getting to the red screen in app I'm getting now.

Also note that I've tried rm -rf node_modules ; yarn already, no difference when it comes to redbox.

[taschik]

I have exactly the same issue on iOS.

[auchaphon]

Same issue

but I my version is react-native-firebase": "^5.5.4" and "react-native": "0.59.9",

[fungilation]

Ok, I found the fix.

In android/build.gradle:
classpath 'com.google.gms:google-services:4.2.0' // 4.1.0 does not work!

android/app/build.gradle:

// WORKAROUND for com.google.gms:google-services:4.2.0: https://github.com/invertase/react-native-firebase/issues/1676#issuecomment-441243419
com.google.gms.googleservices.GoogleServicesPlugin.config.disableVersionCheck = true

and in MainApplication.java, appropriate packages added. All except main RNFirebasePackage as that's done by RN 0.60's autolink:

      packages.add(new RNFirebaseAnalyticsPackage());
      packages.add(new RNFirebaseAuthPackage());
      packages.add(new RNFirebaseRemoteConfigPackage());
      packages.add(new RNFirebaseDatabasePackage());
      packages.add(new RNFirebaseFirestorePackage());
      packages.add(new RNFirebaseMessagingPackage());
      packages.add(new RNFirebasePerformancePackage());
      packages.add(new RNFirebaseStoragePackage());

[mikehardy]

I haven't been able to reproduce this in my demo, perhaps I am doing something different from others, or I am doing exactly what @fungilation does, but if anyone wants to see the end result of a react-native-firebase install is (that appears to work) clone this repo and run this script - you can inspect the install steps and see the final product to see if doing the same works for you https://github.com/mikehardy/rnfbdemo/blob/master/make-demo.sh

[lupelius]

One more thing to say about @fungilation s answer which fixed my issue (thanks a lot!) is, place the com.google.gms.googleservices.GoogleServicesPlugin.config.disableVersionCheck = true
underneath
// For react-native-firebase // https://rnfirebase.io/docs/v5.x.x/installation/android#2.-Setup-google-services.json apply plugin: 'com.google.gms.google-services'

[lathsamee]

Where to put it in android/app/build.gradle? sir

[mikehardy]

Like this - the dependency is added in the dependencies block, apply is at the very tail of the file https://github.com/mikehardy/rnfbdemo/blob/master/make-demo.sh#L35

[lathsamee]

thank you sir

[ckOfor]

//Put this on bottom of file android/app/build.gradle
apply plugin: 'com.google.gms.google-services'
