Execution failed for task ':app:processDebugGoogleServices' for react native after adding Firebase

Question

I have added React Native Firebase. I have used rnfirebase module as that seems lot easier. After adding RNFirebase to my project, I am starting to get this error while compiling

Execution failed for task ':app:processDebugGoogleServices'

This is my build.gradle file (project).

buildscript {
    ext {
        buildToolsVersion = "27.0.3"
        minSdkVersion = 16
        compileSdkVersion = 27
        targetSdkVersion = 26
        supportLibVersion = "27.1.1"
    }
    repositories {
        google()
        jcenter()
    }
    dependencies {
        classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.1.4'
        classpath 'com.google.gms:google-services:4.0.1'

        // NOTE: Do not place your application dependencies here; they belong
        // in the individual module build.gradle files
    }
}

allprojects {
    repositories {
        google()
        mavenLocal()
        jcenter()
        maven {
            // All of React Native (JS, Obj-C sources, Android binaries) is installed from npm
            url "$rootDir/../node_modules/react-native/android"
        }
    }
}


task wrapper(type: Wrapper) {
    gradleVersion = '4.4'
    distributionUrl = distributionUrl.replace("bin", "all")
}

apply plugin: 'com.google.gms.google-services'

And this is my build.gradle file for app.

project.ext.react = [
    entryFile: "index.js"
]

apply from: "../../node_modules/react-native/react.gradle"

Anything wrong with my gradle file? I tried many SO answers but none of them seems to work. I even tried adding the project on android studio, but that didn't help either. Anything I could do more than that?

Answer 1

I had the same issue. I fixed it by deleting a line apply plugin:'com.google.gms.google-services'. you can find it in your app/build.gradle.

because "com.android.application" package already has same package.

Answer 2

If you think you already have your latest google-services.json file added to your project then try running the command below in the root folder of your project and try running your project again.

cd android && gradlew clean
cd ..
react-native run-android

Answer 3

I am using firebase,in my case, I failed to put a google-services file inside in android/app.. Make Sure that You placed google-services.json in android/app/{here}.
