Can't build on android anymore

[SandroMoretti]

I was developing my application normally. I was able to build it 10 times today successfully. However, I was compile again and now I can no longer run when the firebase plugin is in the project.

If I remove the plugin the project run.

Im using [email protected] (can't update to 8.0.0)

The following build error occurs:

:app:processDebugResources/home/sandro/.gradle/caches/transforms-1/files-1.1/appcompat-v7-26.1.0.aar/c9104c96e21bf9c9613f4661f4e5d49e/res/values/values.xml:246:5-69: AAPT: error: resource android:attr/fontVariationSettings not found.

Anyone else having the same problem? Thanks.

[igorkurochka]

have been fighting the same issue for three days already

[gkhristian]

Hello @SandroMoretti,

I have been fighting all the day with that issue... My project cannot be updated to Cordova 8 either so I even decided to port to Ionic 4 (it was done with Ionic 3). So, with Cordova 8 and Ionic 4 after many errors I have arrived to the same point... The error that you have posted is related to Android 28, and the reason is because this library uses 'com.google.firebase:firebase-X:+' as a dependency and yesterday Firebase did a breaking release FB June 17 which forces to use Android 28... I have been playing with dependencies to see if I could workaround it but always got another error...

Any help would be appreciated, thanks!

[sshipsey]

Same here. I think It's because the plugin depends on com.google.firebase:firebase-auth:+ which just updated:

https://developers.google.com/android/guides/releases

Dropped support for API <28

[soramister]

Same problem too! I can't build on android anymore.

[tecmovilapp]

I am having the same problem, now I cannot compile the app and get this error:

I'm on a really tight deadline and this breaks my project since it relies entirely on firebase.

[igorkurochka]

looks like this recipe helped me https://github.com/arnesson/cordova-plugin-firebase/issues/1081#issuecomment-503041641

[ghost]

Same problem here. I've tried to update all dependencies with requirements at https://firebase.google.com/support/release-notes/android#20180523, and cordova android to 8.0.0, but with no success. When I remove cordova-plugin-firebase, it works. Here the error I get:

Dependency failing: com.google.android.gms:play-services-tagmanager-api:15.0.2 -> com.google.android.gms:play-services-m
  easurement-base@[15.0.2], but play-services-measurement-base version was 15.0.4.

  The following dependencies are project dependencies that are direct or have transitive dependencies that lead to the art
  ifact with the issue.
  -- Project 'app' depends onto com.google.android.gms:[email protected]
  -- Project 'app' depends onto com.google.firebase:[email protected]
  -- Project 'app' depends onto com.google.android.gms:[email protected]
  -- Project 'app' depends onto com.google.android.gms:[email protected]
  -- Project 'app' depends onto com.google.android.gms:[email protected]
  -- Project 'app' depends onto com.google.android.gms:[email protected]

So can't build with firebase.

This morning I'm already sweating as I saw the gradle downloading new maven files and to my expectations it all went boom!

[Manaspaul623]

Same here. any solution please

[igorkurochka]

Solution I've taken from this comment https://github.com/arnesson/cordova-plugin-firebase/issues/1081#issuecomment-503041641

1. put build-extras.gradle in your project root

def dependencyMap = [
        "com.google.firebase:firebase-core": "16.0.8",
        "com.google.firebase:firebase-iid": "17.1.1",
        "com.google.firebase:firebase-messaging": "17.5.0",
        "com.google.firebase:firebase-config": "16.4.0",
        "com.google.firebase:firebase-perf": "16.2.4",
        "com.google.android.gms:play-services-tagmanager": "16.0.8",
        "com.google.firebase:firebase-auth": "16.2.0"
]

allprojects {
    repositories {
            google()
            jcenter()
            mavenLocal()
    }

    configurations.all {

        resolutionStrategy {

            eachDependency { DependencyResolveDetails details ->
                def group = details.requested.group
                def name = details.requested.name
                def fullName =  group + ":" + name
                print fullName
                if (dependencyMap.containsKey(fullName)) {
                    details.useVersion dependencyMap[fullName]
                }
            }
        }
    }

}

2. put this hook code in your scripts/copy_build_extra.js

#!/usr/bin/env node

const fs = require('fs')
fs.copyFileSync("./build-extras.gradle", "./platforms/android/build-extras.gradle");

3. configure hook in config.xml inside android platform

<platform name="android">
  <hook src="scripts/copy_build_extra.js" type="after_prepare" />
</platform>

4. reinstall platform to activate the hook

cordova platform rm android
cordova platform add android

worked for me, hope will do for you too

[dann95]

this is the best solution, with less "hacks" to do: https://github.com/arnesson/cordova-plugin-firebase/issues/1081#issuecomment-503135862 (requires cordova-android@8)

[SandroMoretti]

Thank you @igorkurochka , really work again.

PS: I'm using cordova 6.5 and Android 7.1.4, so don't need to update to android 8 like dann told.

[dann95]

@SandroMoretti i guess is good if you can update, do it.. cause this plugin will generate more headaches, since april im using a fork of the plugin, to solve a build issue, i was using cordova-android@7, seems some library that is dependency of this plugin is no more suporting API < 28, so its good to use cordova-android@8 that uses API 28...

[SandroMoretti]

@dann95 , I know. I tried update. I don't know why, but I can't update my cordova.

Npm just install cordova 6.5 here. Maybe is my outdated system (ubuntu 14). Someday I will reserve my day to upgrade my OS then I update cordova and android platform. Thank you.

[dann95]

your Cordova cli is installed globally, you must remove it globally. "-g" xD

Before cordova-plugin-firebase directory was 93,9 MB, now 1,30 MB. Before cordova-plugin-cocoapod-support was not installed, now it is.

Same for you also?

[SandroMoretti]

@pegasx cocoapod-support not installed for me.

[pegasx]

@pegasx cocoapod-support not installed for me.

Sorry, you did not install dpa99c's solution. So question is for @dann95.

Before cordova-plugin-firebase directory was 93,9 MB, now 1,30 MB. Before cordova-plugin-cocoapod-support was not installed, now it is.

Same for you also?

[dann95]

[dann95]

cocoapod must be for "swift" it has been installed in my linux too, will investigate why

[dann95]

about the size, idk what was the size before, but it seems to work.

[heidji]

this solution worked for me, but I had to create a new project and copy all my files into that new project because using the steps in the link made more problems on the existing repository ...

[bipoza]

Thank you @igorkurochka , working again.

[uifox]

@igorkurochka Thanks for your fix. It works on my end too. My understanding is that the below list is the dependencies of the firbase plugin. Shouldn't these be defined by the plugin itself? Adding these to the android project using an external cordova hook looks like a workaround, but not a solution. Is there a chance to create a pull request to get the exact versions of the dependencies defined in the master repo? Thanks.

def dependencyMap = [
        "com.google.firebase:firebase-core": "16.0.8",
        "com.google.firebase:firebase-iid": "17.1.1",
        "com.google.firebase:firebase-messaging": "17.5.0",
        "com.google.firebase:firebase-config": "16.4.0",
        "com.google.firebase:firebase-perf": "16.2.4",
        "com.google.android.gms:play-services-tagmanager": "16.0.8",
        "com.google.firebase:firebase-auth": "16.2.0"
]

[uifox]

@SandroMoretti True is that @igorkurochka fixed the issue but this is more of a workaround and not a solution. The versions of the plugin's dependencies should be defined by the plugin and not the cordova app. This fix may become unreliable, should the dependencies of the plugin change.

I suggest reopening this issue.

Hi @igorkurochka , I'm still facing this type of issue, can you please help me in that platforms/android/app/src/main/java/org/apache/cordova/firebase/FirebasePlugin.java:9: error: cannot find symbol import android.support.v4.app.NotificationManagerCompat;

[dann95]

@pankajPizone have you deleted the gradle cache?

rm -rf ~/.gradle/

[pankajPizone]

@dann95 from android folder?

[dann95]

the "~" means your home , so it will clear something like

/home/myusername/.gradle/

[pankajPizone]

OK @dann95 i'm trying it
