Android App crashes on OneSignal push notification

Question

I developed a React Native app that crashes every time a push notification from OneSignal is received while the app is active.

The error is java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: No static method zzc .

If I receive the notification when the app is on background, there is no problem.

Here is my build.gradle file:

buildscript {
    ext {
        googlePlayServicesLocationVersion = "17.0.0"
        buildToolsVersion = "28.0.3"
        minSdkVersion = 21
        compileSdkVersion = 28
        targetSdkVersion = 28
        supportLibVersion = "28.0.0"
        appCompatVersion = "1.0.2"
    }
    repositories {
        google()
        jcenter()
    }
    dependencies {
        classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.3.0'
    }
}

allprojects {
    repositories {

        configurations.all {
            resolutionStrategy.eachDependency { DependencyResolveDetails details ->
            def requested = details.requested
           if (requested.group == 'com.google.android.gms') {
              details.useVersion '17.0.0'
           }
           if (requested.group == 'com.google.firebase') {
              details.useVersion '17.0.0'
             }
           }
         }
        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"
        }

        maven {
           url "$rootDir/../node_modules/react-native-background-geolocation/android/libs"
        }

            maven {
                url "$rootDir/../node_modules/react-native-background-fetch/android/libs"
            }
    }
}


task wrapper(type: Wrapper) {
    gradleVersion = '4.10'
    distributionUrl = distributionUrl.replace("bin", "all")
}

And my app/build.gradle file:

apply plugin: "com.android.application"

Do you know where the problem could come from?

Answer 1

This could either happen with if;

1. The OneSignal SDK version is in your app is older than 3.6.0
2. Your using an Android Support Library version older than 26
3. Or if another GCM / FCM BroadcastReceiver in your app is also displaying a notification

According your build script 2 is fine. And you you need to apply the OneSignal gradle plugin in your project.

    buildscript {
    repositories {
        maven { url 'https://plugins.gradle.org/m2/'}
    }
    dependencies {
        classpath 'gradle.plugin.com.onesignal:onesignal-gradle-plugin: [0.10.1, 0.99.99]'
    }
}
apply plugin: 'com.onesignal.androidsdk.onesignal-gradle-plugin'

Answer 2

Please add these lines of code at the top in app/build.gradle file

buildscript {
    repositories {
        maven { url 'https://plugins.gradle.org/m2/' } // Gradle Plugin Portal 
    }
    dependencies {
        classpath 'gradle.plugin.com.onesignal:onesignal-gradle-plugin:[0.12.1, 0.99.99]'
    }
}

apply plugin: 'com.onesignal.androidsdk.onesignal-gradle-plugin'

After adding the above code, goto command prompt, navigate to the android folder of the react-native project and run gradlew clean . Finally run the project.

Do let me know if same issue is faced.

Answer 3

This error is arising due to conflict with firebase and google services used in onesignal sdk. If you can use 16.1.0 as your version of googleplay services, com.google.android.gms and if it doesn't help try to downgrade firebase as well. You can check https://github.com/OneSignal/OneSignal-Android-SDK/blob/master/OneSignalSDK/onesignal/build.gradle for reference. Kindly post back the response.

Answer 4

You must add this to the top. I think you probably don't activate the plugin.

buildscript {
    repositories {
        maven { url 'https://plugins.gradle.org/m2/' } // Gradle Plugin Portal 
    }
    dependencies {
        classpath 'gradle.plugin.com.onesignal:onesignal-gradle-plugin:[0.12.1, 0.99.99]'
    }
}

apply plugin: 'com.onesignal.androidsdk.onesignal-gradle-plugin'
