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

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"
    ...
}

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

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 7

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 8

implementation("com.google.firebase:firebase-iid")

Answer 9

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 10

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 11

In the gradle.properties file, try adding::

android.enableJetifier = true
android.useAndroidX = true
