React-native-firebase: RNFirebase core module was not found natively on Android, ensure you have correctly added the RNFirebase and Firebase gradle dependencies to your `android/app/build.gradle` file

• The react.gradle file registers a task for each build variant (e.g. bundleDebugJsAndAssets
• and bundleReleaseJsAndAssets).
• These basically call react-native bundle with the correct arguments during the Android build
• cycle. By default, bundleDebugJsAndAssets is skipped, as in debug/dev mode we prefer to load the
• bundle directly from the development server. Below you can see all the possible configurations
• and their defaults. If you decide to add a configuration block, make sure to add it before the
• apply from: "../../node_modules/react-native/react.gradle" line.

Does anyone help me resolve it? i don't know why don't it work?

[mikehardy]

Not sure why this isn't working for you but I would never use a version of the module that old (4.3.8). With react-native 0.59.x (but why 0.59.9 vs 0.59.10?) I would use 5.5.6, exactly like so: https://github.com/mikehardy/rnfbdemo/blob/master/make-demo-rn59.sh

[DucSilva]

5.5.6
i used [email protected] follow your suggestion but it's still this! i don't know that why don't it work?

[mikehardy]

How did the demo work out for you? Did the demo construction script run correctly in your environment and start? I will assume it did since I just re-tested make-demo-rn59.sh last night, which shows you have something going on in your project setup. The important part of the demo construction script is it shows the exact steps to integrate firebase in the correct order, with a functioning project at the end. There are a million ways it can go wrong so I can't spend much time finding each one, but the script demonstrates explicitly one way to do it right - I'd follow along the comments and compare each part of your project making it as similar as possible.

Same issue here

[meftunca]

@mikehardy Strangely, this error only happens when I use the safari browser. Not in Chrome.

[mikehardy]

@meftunca I can't imagine how that is related to the original issue here. If you're having a problem please open a new issue carefully filling out the full template

[meftunca]

Hi, like I said, it doesn't mean anything to me, Mike. I got this error in the Safari browser and it doesn't matter to me. Chrome is also working properly and I decided to use Chrome to avoid wasting time with these errors.

If you want detailed information, I can send the details.

[ScreamZ]

After reading the getting started guide (an not only the one about app) I solved this issue. Don't forget to clean most caches lile ./gradlew clean

Can you share me the getting startded guide?

[ScreamZ]

@DucSilva

Start with: https://invertase.io/oss/react-native-firebase/quick-start/existing-project

Then follow each plateform instruction in the Next section. Don't forget to clean your android build and app/build folders first before rebuild.
