add public void onNewToken(String s) in MessagingService can fixed the issues

Suddenly, I face the same error too, running on android device.

maybe use

        <!--<intent-filter>-->
          <!--<action android:name="com.google.firebase.INSTANCE_ID_EVENT"/>-->
        <!--</intent-filter>-->
    <!--</service>-->

and add public void onNewToken(String s) in MessagingService

[TomYan2255]

add public void onNewToken(String s) in MessagingService can fixed the issues

But error is located in this file:- \node_modules\react-native-fcm\android\src\main\java\com\evollu\react\fcm\InstanceIdService.java file

hide InstanceIdService.java don't used the class :)

[haripermadi]

It working again after I follow @ravishankar3961 , thanks. It is because depreciated method

[haripermadi]

but my push notifications not working

[MITDD6338]

@thisisbalaG Same error happening with me

[ravishankar3961]

but my push notifications not working

@haripermadi were you able to generate token ?

[haripermadi]

but my push notifications not working

@haripermadi were you able to generate token ?

yes, I can generate the token. I used this for a chatting feature using qiscus sdk. When I test sending push notif from firebase console, it is working properly, but when I test using my chat it doesn't work.

[MITDD6338]

@ravishankar3961 I can change this code in my project my App Successfully build but App install in my device has stopped this app

so can We Help me

[duydatpham]

It working again after I follow @ravishankar3961 , thanks. It is because depreciated method

someone help me :|

[suraneti]

@ravishankar3961 It working again with notification push tested.

[NomanGul]

Thanks @ravishankar3961 It's working now!

[danhnguyeen]

I have same problem. It worked before. But now, It shown the error. After trying @ravishankar3961 's solution, I can build without error now. But I tried to send the notification, it doesn't work

[PriyaPatne9]

Thanks for the help @ravishankar3961. Your solution resolved the error but my app is crashing on launch without any error.

[rohit75]

Solution resolved the error for me also but app crashes on start

[vinay340]

Thanks @ravishankar3961 .Your solution works but application started crashing on launch.

[danhnguyeen]

ah, I confirm that @ravishankar3961 's solution is worked for me. Many thanks

[ayansGit]

Thanks @ravishankar3961 . The Solution did worked, you saved the day..!! 👍 The FirebaseInstanceIdService class is deprecated, So FirebaseMessagingService and onNewToken really worked !! Thanks again.

[Krutarth-Dave]

@ravishankar3961 After doing the changes, I am getting this Error and Build fails.

• What went wrong: Execution failed for task ':app:transformClassesAndResourcesWithProguardForPreqaRelease'.

Job failed, see logs for details

[vinay340]

Hello everyone , Below is the crash log i am getting when app launches.

E/AndroidRuntime: FATAL EXCEPTION: main Process: com.appID, PID: 18120 java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: Failed resolution of: Lcom/google/firebase/auth/FirebaseAuth; at com.google.firebase.auth.FirebaseAuthRegistrar.getComponents(Unknown Source) at com.google.firebase.components.ComponentRuntime.(com.google.firebase:firebase-common@@17.0.0:56) at com.google.firebase.FirebaseApp.(com.google.firebase:firebase-common@@17.0.0:478)

How to solve the above issue?

[souravkrj]

getToken() is also deprecated as written in documentation so what to do? should we use getInstanceId() as written

[theodorusyoga]

@ravishankar3961 @haripermadi just facing this error around 3 hours ago, previously was running just fine. I tried @ravishankar3961's solution and the build succeed.

Notification received on background, but not on the foreground. For background notification, click_action is also not working. Probably the best time to switch to react-native-firebase?

[brianinator]

The @ravishankar3961 's solution worked but it not the right way as a build server will not get the fix. It needs to be added upstream to react-native-fcm.

change firebase version in below files: ${project}\android\app\build.gradle

...
//implementation 'com.google.firebase:firebase-core'
//implementation 'com.google.firebase:firebase-messaging'
implementation 'com.google.firebase:firebase-core:16.0.8'
implementation 'com.google.firebase:firebase-messaging:17.6.0'
...

and ${project}\android\gradle.properties At the bottom of file add

firebaseCoreVersion=16.0.8
firebaseMessagingVersion=17.6.0

[Gabsys]

change firebase version in below files: ${project}\node_modules\react-native-fcm\android\build.gradle,

...
//def DEFAULT_FIREBASE_CORE_VERSION           = "+"
//def DEFAULT_FIREBASE_MESSAGING_VERSION      = "+"
def DEFAULT_FIREBASE_CORE_VERSION           = "16.0.3"
def DEFAULT_FIREBASE_MESSAGING_VERSION      = "17.6.0"
...

and ${project}\android\app\build.gradle

...
//implementation 'com.google.firebase:firebase-core'
//implementation 'com.google.firebase:firebase-messaging'
implementation 'com.google.firebase:firebase-core:16.0.3'
implementation 'com.google.firebase:firebase-messaging:17.6.0'
...

Hmmm... my ${project}\node_modules\react-native-fcm\android\build.gradle originally didn't have def DEFAULT_FIREBASE_CORE_VERSION = "+" def DEFAULT_FIREBASE_MESSAGING_VERSION = "+" this 2 line.

At which part should I add the new lines?
