FirestoreException - Could not find TLS ALPN provider - no working netty-tcnative

Question

I have a desktop app made in Java/Kotlin with Firebase (specifically Firestore realtime) connection.

It works properly in my notebook (Windows via Parallels) and in some others Windows tested. But, in some pcs I always get an error:

com.google.cloud.firestore.FirestoreException: java.lang.IllegalStateException: Could not find TLS ALPN provider; no working netty tcnative, Conscrypt, or Jetty NPN/ALPN available.

I tried some jar`s creation variations and nothing helped me.

It's my current build.gradle connection:

plugins {
    id 'java'
    id 'org.jetbrains.kotlin.jvm' version '1.3.21'
}

jar {
    manifest {
        attributes 'Main-Class': 'main.LoginActivity'
    }
}

// java -cp Y:\Desktop\nwebprint\out\artifacts\nwebprint_main_jar\nwebprint.main.jar main.LoginActivity

group 'nwebprint'
version '1.0-SNAPSHOT'

sourceCompatibility = 1.8

repositories {
    mavenCentral()
}

version = '1.0'
sourceCompatibility = 1.7
targetCompatibility = 1.7

//create a single Jar with all dependencies
task fatJar(type: Jar) {
    manifest {
        attributes 'Implementation-Title': 'Notary Web Service',
                'Implementation-Version': version,
                'Main-Class': 'main.LoginActivity'
    }
    baseName = project.name + '-all'
    from { configurations.compile.collect { it.isDirectory() ? it : zipTree(it) } }
    with jar
}

dependencies {
    implementation "org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-stdlib-jdk8"
    testCompile group: 'junit', name: 'junit', version: '4.12'

    compile ('com.google.firebase:firebase-admin:6.8.0') {
        exclude( group: 'com.google.guava')
    }

    compile 'com.google.guava:guava:20.0'

    // compile 'io.grpc:grpc-netty-shaded'
}

compileKotlin {
    kotlinOptions.jvmTarget = "1.8"
}
compileTestKotlin {
    kotlinOptions.jvmTarget = "1.8"
}

Answer 1

I had the same problem when was starting FireBase application in Docker container.

In my case i had to change base image - from openjdk:8-jdk-alpine to openjdk:8

Answer 2

I had the same issue with Firebase-Firestore (in a Java server application, no android) and it was related to the Java version.

I was using openjdk 8u191-jre-alpine3.9 and it was fixed after switching to openjdk 13-ea-16-jdk-alpine3.9.

P.D: searching on Google, I found some entries about adding some dependencies for grpc, netty, etc but they didn't work for me.

Everyone kept saying to add libraries, my app works fine in Netbeans when ran through the IDE.. but when I compile through Launch4J to make a .EXE file, it kept throwing this exception... I was supplying my own JRE/JDK to the .EXE wrapper..

I read and read.. somewhere there was someone saying update java... I had Java 1.8 but it was from Jan 2018 or something old like that.. I updated to the latest Java 1.8 JDK for what I supply to my app in .EXE wrapper form, and walla.. it works! no tcnative TLS exception from Firestore!

Hope this helps!

I have the same problem. This is the stacktrace I have in my linux alpine 3.9:

My environment is:

Azure app service Linux Alpine 3.9

Tomcat 8.5

Java server app connected to Firebase thru Firestore Admin SDK

Java version running on my linux report:

02c3d1e2371f:/home# java -version
Picked up JAVA_TOOL_OPTIONS:  -Djava.net.preferIPv4Stack=true
openjdk version "1.8.0_212"
OpenJDK Runtime Environment (Zulu 8.38.0.13-linux-musl-x64)-Microsoft- 
Azure-restricted (build 1.8.0_212-b04)
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (Zulu 8.38.0.13-linux-musl-x64)-Microsoft-Azure- 
restricted (build 25.212-b04, mixed mode)

I am still having this issue, don't know how to solved it.
