Plugin with id 'com.google.firebase.firebase-perf' not found

Question

In implementing the 'Performance' feature of Firebase, I got the following error attempting to sync the Gradle:

Plugin with id 'com.google.firebase.firebase-perf' not found.

I implemented it following instructions here: https://firebase.google.com/docs/perf-mon/get-started-android. In particular it directs you to specify the classpath dependency to com.google.firebase:perf-plugin in your root-level (project-level) Gradle file, not he app-level:

Here are my Gradles, app-level left, project-level right:

more than 1 year and the firebase-perf did not update or mentioned anything related to this issue. It is really something bad – Electrodynamometer

Answer 1

Despite the red box warning not to put the perf-plugin in the app-level Gradle, putting it there allowed syncing and compiling, but with all sorts of new red warnings in the compile build log:

Not including the plugin at all still gave me something in my performance tab a couple weeks after adding just the implementation line:

implementation 'com.google.firebase:firebase-perf:19.0.9'

The better of these two Performance implementation solutions, to just leave the plugin out vs the gains of adding it to the app-level Gradle, despite apparent dependency conflict risks and build exceptions, I'd be open to views.

If you don't add the plugin, then it won't do automatic monitoring of HTTP requests as advertised. So, that's not exactly a "fix". If you have a problem with the plugin, you should report that to Firebase support directly. support.google.com/firebase/contact/support – Keewatin

Answer 2

Please add Performance plugin in your dependency class-path

`classpath 'com.google.firebase:perf-plugin:1.3.1'  // Performance Monitoring plugin`

This was helpful for me! Why would it change name when using .kts?? – Moir

Answer 4

The configurations Firebase gave us to do are the following:

App Gradle: Project Gradle:

Solution to fix the problem:

1. Remove id("com.google.firebase.firebase-perf") from plugins section in Project Gradle.
2. Instead, add classpath("com.google.firebase:perf-plugin:1.4.2") to buildscript/dependencies in Project Gradle, like below:
