I've tried a lot of solutions but nothing helped.

use same version of play-service libraries. Also dont use+ operator in dependencies. found versions services-base:15.+', vision:12.0.1 – Zelaya

@alex-khanenya did you find a solution? I have the same error. Thanks – Replete

Answer 1

Faced the same issue. Then I found out that I missed an important set of instructions to integrate Firebase with Android project: https://firebase.google.com/docs/android/setup#add_firebase_to_your_app

Here is the summary of the steps in that documentation that helped in my case:

1. Generate google-services.json and put it to your android/app/ directory.
2. Add classpath 'com.google.gms:google-services:4.1.0' to buildscript -> dependencies section of your root-level build.gradle config; add google() to allprogects -> repositories section of the same file.
3. Add implementation 'com.google.firebase:firebase-core:16.0.3' to dependencies section of your app module's build.gradle file; add apply plugin: 'com.google.gms.google-services' at the very bottom of the same file.
4. Sync and rebuild. Now it should work.

Answer 2

On your android/app/build.gradle add one more implementation on dependeces:

...
dependencies {
    implementation "com.google.firebase:firebase-auth:17.0.0"
    ...
}

Pages

Answer 3

There is probably some problem with the dependencies involved.

In my case, making the following changes worked perfectly in the app level build.gradle

dependencies{
     implementation 'com.google.firebase:firebase-auth:17.0.0'
     implementation 'com.firebaseui:firebase-ui-database:6.0.2'
     ...
}

Answer 4

changed latest firebase-messaging google dependencies and modified other dependencies also in a same version in app gradle file. working fine now

dependencies version detail you can refer here

dependencies {
    testImplementation 'junit:junit:4.12'
    androidTestImplementation 'androidx.test:runner:1.1.0-alpha4'
    androidTestImplementation 'androidx.test.espresso:espresso-core:3.1.0-alpha4'
    implementation 'com.google.firebase:firebase-auth:17.0.0'
    implementation 'com.google.firebase:firebase-messaging:18.0.0'
}

Answer 5

In my case I forgot to comment Database Package in MainApplication.java

    @Override
    protected List<ReactPackage> getPackages() {
      return Arrays.<ReactPackage>asList(
        new MainReactPackage(),
            new AsyncStoragePackage(),
            new RNCameraPackage(),
            new VectorIconsPackage(),
            new RNGestureHandlerPackage(),
        new RNFirebasePackage(),
        // add/remove these packages as appropriate
        //new RNFirebaseAdMobPackage(),
        new RNFirebaseAnalyticsPackage(),
        //new RNFirebaseAuthPackage(),
        // new RNFirebaseRemoteConfigPackage(),
        new RNFirebaseCrashlyticsPackage(),
        // new RNFirebaseDatabasePackage(), <==== Comment this package
       // new RNFirebaseFirestorePackage(),
        // new RNFirebaseFunctionsPackage(),
        new RNFirebaseInstanceIdPackage(),
       // new RNFirebaseInvitesPackage(),
        new RNFirebaseLinksPackage(),
        new RNFirebaseMessagingPackage(),
        new RNFirebaseNotificationsPackage(),
        new RNFirebasePerformancePackage()
       // new RNFirebaseStoragePackage()
      );
    }

Answer 6

If your are facing this issue in Flutter, Add this dependency in your android/app/build.gradle. And run your main.dart. No need to add any type of controller in ListView. If you are using listview on that page. If you are using Firebase please add this in depencdencies.

implementation "com.google.firebase:firebase-auth:19.3.0"

Answer 7

I have faced the same issues. You have to change the react-native-firebase version in pakage.json file. I found the solution from here

here

Answer 8

what worked for me was just to remove the .android/ package completely from my project and then run

npx expo prebuild

in the root folder and it created a new android folder with a few changes (could see there are some because of GitHub addon in my VSCode), then when I ran the folder in my Android Studio it ran completely fine without any errors whatsoever.

Answer 10

Solution 1:

Add one more implementation on dependeces in your android/app/build.gradle file.

dependencies {
    implementation "com.google.firebase:firebase-auth:17.0.0"
    ...
}

Solution 2:

• Generate google-services.json and put it to your android/app/ directory.

• Add classpath 'com.google.gms:google-services:4.1.0' to buildscript -> dependencies section of your root-level build.gradle config and add google() as first entry to allprogects -> repositories section of the same file.

    buildscript {
        repositories {
            google()
            jcenter()
        }
        dependencies {
            ...
            classpath 'com.google.gms:google-services:4.1.0'
        }
    }
    allprojects {
        repositories {
            google()
            ...
        }
    }
  

• Add implementation 'com.google.firebase:firebase-core:16.0.3' to dependencies section of your app module's build.gradle file and add apply plugin: 'com.google.gms.google-services' at the very bottom of the same file.

  dependencies {
      ...
      implementation 'com.google.firebase:firebase-core:16.0.3'
  } 
  apply plugin: 'com.google.gms.google-services'
  

• Sync and rebuild.

Answer 11

The only solution that worked for me is to upgrade all firebase dependencies and don't forget this one below cause Android Studio may not notify you about it.

implementation platform('com.google.firebase:firebase-bom:31.2.0')`

Answer 12

UPDATE YOUR FIREBASE LIBRARIES!!!!

Eg. if your app uses firebase auth, Google for it, in its documentation they provide with the latest version, paste it to your build.gradle

The libraries added by your Firebase Assistant in Android Studio are usually old.

Answer 13

In the gradle.properties file, try adding::

android.enableJetifier = true
android.useAndroidX = true
