Same here. Tried to use cordova-play-services-gradle-release plugin (with + and 15.+) without success.

[jordanorc]

+1 Same problem here.. any suggestion?

[ejlodero]

The library com.google.android.gms:play-services-measurement-base is being requested by various other libraries at [[16.5.0,16.5.0], [16.4.0,16.4.0]], but resolves to 16.5.0. Disable the plugin and check your dependencies tree using ./gradlew :app:dependencies.

i think this error is related to this.

[sahyun1]

@ejlodero I get the same error. I wonder why this is happening as this plugin is not updated since last year

[pbejarano]

@ejlodero I get the same error, I am looking in my graddle but I dont see that dependencies, some body found something?

[urjunior87]

Same here, when trying to build android.

After a search at google I found following answer: https://medium.com/android-school/firebaseinstanceidservice-is-deprecated-50651f17a148

as the FirebaseInstanceIdService deprecated.

Here is a quick fix if you guys can't wait for new plugin update release. https://forum.ionicframework.com/t/ionic-4-cordova-run-android-firebase-error-all-of-a-sudden/163204/23

Same problem here

This is due to the firebase updates on April 05. Here https://firebase.google.com/support/release-notes/android#update_-_april_02_2019, I found the last working versions and adjusted my project.properties accordingly like so

cordova.system.library.4=com.google.firebase:firebase-core:16.0.8 cordova.system.library.5=com.google.firebase:firebase-messaging:17.5.0 cordova.system.library.6=com.google.firebase:firebase-config:16.4.1 cordova.system.library.7=com.google.firebase:firebase-perf:16.2.4

Here all dependencies are locked to the specific version (Update - April 02, 2019) instead of +, which would get you the latest version thus breaking the build process.

Now I can build successfully! Hope it helps!

where will you find project.properties

[pvillaverde]

Thanks @fjckls , it worked!! @pluckannfeel you can find it on platforms/android/project.properties

[hellkith]

@fjckls I've tried your fix, and the Gradle sync will work but building the app still throws the errors for as given by topic starter where it cannot find the methods from Firebase.

I succeeded in rewrite platforms/android/app/build.gradle and platforms/android/project.properties by @fjckls's method.

i got two errors,

Failed to resolve: com.google.firebase:firebase-messaging:17.5 Failed to resolve: com.google.firebase:firebase-config:16.4

i got two errors, Failed to resolve: com.google.firebase:firebase-messaging:17.5 Failed to resolve: com.google.firebase:firebase-config:16.4

you forgot to add the final bit of it. messaging = 17.5.0 config = 16.4.1

exactly, my reply was wrong but yeah thats what i put, still error

[jetwitaussi]

Using ionic v1 you can update:

plugins/cordova-plugin-firebase/plugin.xml

<framework src="com.google.android.gms:play-services-tagmanager:15.+" />
<framework src="com.google.firebase:firebase-core:15.+" />
<framework src="com.google.firebase:firebase-messaging:15.+" />
<framework src="com.google.firebase:firebase-config:15.+" />
<framework src="com.google.firebase:firebase-perf:15.+" />

(add "15." before "+")

and file plugins/cordova-plugin-firebase/src/android/build.gradle

compile 'com.google.firebase:firebase-auth:15.+'

(same add "15." before "+")

then remove android platform and readd it

i'm not convinced it's the best fix so i won't do a PR, but at least it fixes the problem for now, hope it helps!
