I think they all depend on the app module, did you install that one as well?

[mezalejandro]

Hello @mikehardy yes i first installed @react-native-firebase/app
package.json: @react-native-firebase/app": "6.0.1"

[mikehardy]

but you said analytics was 6.0.3? :thinking: - to be clear, I'm not on to anything in particular but want to make sure this stuff is nailed down first

[mezalejandro]

is that I was looking for what the problem was, and I was changing the version

[mezalejandro]

Now,
install everything again
"@react-native-firebase/analytics": "^6.0.3", "@react-native-firebase/app": "^6.0.3",

And execute cd android && ./gradlew clean

FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

• Where:
  Build file '[email protected]' line: 59

• What went wrong:
  A problem occurred evaluating project ':@react-native-firebase_analytics'.

  Project with path ':@react-native-firebase_app' could not be found in project ':@react-native-firebase_analytics'.

[mikehardy]

That is really weird. It seems like an auto-linking failure.

Maybe missing this line? https://github.com/invertase/react-native-firebase/blob/master/tests/android/settings.gradle#L6

[mezalejandro]

I have these line

`

[mikehardy]

Ok I'll admit I'm stumped. Seems like a project setup failure but I obviously can't pinpoint it. Does running an example app work for you like from here? npx @react-native-community/cli init --template=@react-native-firebase/template <name>

[mezalejandro]

I run npx @react-native-community/cli init --template=@react-native-firebase/template testapp and installed @react-native-firebase/app and analitycs and its working

[mikehardy]

Well I'm happy to hear that worked, but I'm sad to say all it really proves is the problem is somewhere - unknown where - in your project. The task now is a tedious comparison between all the android-related files to find it

[mezalejandro]

I changed react-native version from 0.60.4 to 0.60.5 and re-install react-native-firebase/app and analytics and its working

[mikehardy]

Just in time for 0.61.3 to be released today ;-). That's an upgrade I actually recommend too - it's very easy, and the fast refresh is actually fast refresh vs 0.60.x. Glad you got this working!
