react-native-firebase [🐛] Android build failed

"@react-native-firebase/auth": "^20.0.0", "react-native": "0.72.6",

Deprecated Gradle features were used in this build, making it incompatible with Gradle 9.0.

after: ./gradlew build --warning-mode all

I saw that the sourceCompatibility is JavaVersion.VERSION_11 but line 1620 from /xx/xx/xx/@react-native-firebase/auth/android/src/main/java/io/invertase/firebase/auth/ReactNativeFirebaseAuthModule.java is in java 17 like this: if (exception instanceof FirebaseAuthUserCollisionException collEx) and it should be if (exception instanceof FirebaseAuthUserCollisionException) { FirebaseAuthUserCollisionException collEx = (FirebaseAuthUserCollisionException) exception; }

i am also getting this error

Same here, using expo 49 SDK and react-native 0.72.4? I use Java 17 with gradle 7.4.2 is automatically picked during build (instead of gradle 8). Does someone know how to update gradle version using expo ?

I solved it thanks to your help :)

Jun 03 '24 04:06 devdongwoo

How did you fix it?

Jun 03 '24 07:06 ducsilva

your "ReactNativeFirebaseAuthModule.java" file change from " if (exception instanceof FirebaseAuthUserCollisionException collEx){ // exisiting code }" to " if (exception instanceof FirebaseAuthUserCollisionException) { FirebaseAuthUserCollisionException collEx = (FirebaseAuthUserCollisionException) exception; // exisiting code } "

Sorry, My English has a lot of flaws. Did you understand?

Jun 03 '24 12:06 devdongwoo

I think you forgot a variable and a comma on your corrected line: FirebaseAuthUserCollisionException collEx = (FirebaseAuthUserCollisionException) exception;

Jun 03 '24 13:06 r-aurejac

I did the same as you and installed this patch package

Jun 03 '24 14:06 ducsilva

thanks to you, my corrected line is fixed

Jun 03 '24 16:06 devdongwoo

We are also having this issue, patching for the moment till a more permanent fix 😊

Jun 05 '24 04:06 Shervanator

Interesting, that line of code was a recent fix yes, I didn't realize it broke support for JDK11 - and I'll admit I thought everyone had moved to JDK17+ now (we test with JDK21 and 17, for what it's worth - and why this was invisible to me/us - https://github.com/invertase/react-native-firebase/blob/d849667a1b3614c4a938c1f2bea892758831b368/.github/workflows/tests_e2e_android.yml#L82 - with 21 local on my machine for testing)

If someone wanted to propose a PR, I could happily merge it

Gosh same issue is still now resolved by this thank you

Also faced the same error after installing firebase auth gradle: 8.0 jdk: 17 react-native: 0.72.0 @react-native-firebase/auth: 20.1.0,

I'm also have this problem after I have installed the firebase auth.

gradle: 8.0.1 jdk: 17 react-native: 0.72.0

This saved my day thanks!

Dude don't worry about the English. You're a lifesaver!

"@react-native-firebase/app": "^19.2.2", "@react-native-firebase/auth": "^19.2.2", "@react-native-firebase/dynamic-links": "^19.3.0", "react-native": "0.72.7", "react-native-fbsdk-next": "^13.0.0",

I tried above solution but its not working . it cause errors in other packages IDK why.What i have to do next -> any idea

Jul 10 '24 13:07 Vidhun-Coderz

My Solution is

node_modules@react-native-firebase\auth\android\src\main\java\io\invertase\firebase\auth\ReactNativeFirebaseAuthModule.java

Remove : if (exception instanceof FirebaseAuthUserCollisionException collEx) { AuthCredential updatedCredential = collEx.getUpdatedCredential(); Log.d(TAG, "link:onComplete:collisionFailure", collEx); // If we have a credential in the error, we can return it, otherwise fall // through if (updatedCredential != null) { Log.d(TAG, "link:onComplete:collisionFailure had credential", collEx); promiseRejectLinkAuthException(promise, collEx, updatedCredential); return; } }

i use jdk 17 and it still causes this issue. anyone have the same problem?

Jul 25 '24 08:07 NooryA

This is a documentation issue at this point. We ought to specify what minimum JDK + iOS versions are required for RNFB here: https://rnfirebase.io/platforms

See this comment for why

Aug 12 '24 14:08 russellwheatley

@NooryA

I suspect you think you are running JDK17 but you are actually building with some lower JDK. This may seem improbable but it's the only plausible explanation for a build failure when using a language feature that is not available in JDK < 17 and is available in JDK >= 17

@russellwheatley --> suggest adding this along with docs as a hard fail / fast fail in build files:

https://github.com/ankidroid/Anki-Android/blob/91b984a6a12a5d511945e5f7bcf62347f6d0a7fe/build.gradle.kts#L96-L111

I had the same issue despite having the right JDK and everything. It was driving me mad.

But then I simply upgraded React Native from 0.74.5 to 0.75.3 by following the upgrade helper, and it somehow suddenly began working. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Thanks a lot for this.

Thank you for your contributions.

For anyone still seeing this error and you are 100% sure you are running JDK 17 your problem is probably that you are running a react native version that uses AGP android gradle tools 7.* and below.

React native firebase defaults to using jdk11 for any version of AGP below 8.

Check

https://github.com/invertase/react-native-firebase/blob/main/packages/app/android/build.gradle#L84-L89

So stop pulling your hair and just use the patch package solution above or upgrade to a version of react native that uses android gradle tools 8 >.

@nrtrjmly Interesting! that's a subtle interaction - missed that in previous analysis of this problem. AGP8+ has been in use long enough that I hadn't tested back far enough to attempt AGP<=8

Indeed it is kind-of-a-bug to have 11 listed for source compatibility since the code is no longer compatible with it. That should have been bumped to 17 at the same time the JDK17+ source feature was added

Jan 14 '25 17:01 mikehardy

Thanks a lot for this solution

@devdongwoo is it correct than to run this command?

yarn patch-package @react-native-firebase/auth

It creates a patch package file which is a bit different. Thx again!!
