Gradle Build failing after adding firebase_messaging plugin

[byshy]

when adding the firebase_messaging: ^5.1.2 my app doesn't build, after removing it, the app builds with no problems, I tried to migrate to androidX but this didn't help, also tries to use multi dex, didn't help

I only get one red error line that says: Finished with error: Gradle task assembleDebug failed with exit code 1

[blasten]

Would you mind running the command with the --verbose flag?

[byshy]

here is the outcome of running the flutter run --verbose

Gradle task assembleDebug failed with exit code 1

I created a new project with firebase_messaging being the only plugin in the project, and it worked!
BUT as soon as I added the other libraries same problem again

[kroikie]

@byshy In your app's android directory could you run ./gradlew assembleDebug and see if that gives more gradle specific error logs.

[amuhaimin02]

Hi.
I'm having the same problem as @byshy, adding fIrebase_messaging ^5.1.2 broke my app's build process, and ending up with a single line saying 'Finished with error: Gradle task assembleDebug failed with exit code 1'.

Currently using this firebase plugin version in pubspec.yaml

  firebase_core: ^0.4.0
  firebase_database: ^3.0.5
  firebase_auth: ^0.14.0
  firebase_messaging: ^5.1.2
  cloud_functions: ^0.4.1

github.com/google/play-services-plugins and disable by adding "googleServices { disableVersionCheck = false }" to your b
uild.gradle file.

Have even tried disabling version check by adding com.google.gms.googleservices.GoogleServicesPlugin.config.disableVersionCheck = true as per https://stackoverflow.com/questions/53007342/flutter-version-conflict-with-location-and-firebase-messaging, however the build process failed faster than before.

I believed this is caused by Firebase dependencies conflicts similar to other issues I found. Have considered to downgrading to the older firebase plugin version but didn't know the correct combination of them to make it work without conflicting with each other. (Other solution I found mostly use the older firebase version).

I have also enable AndroidX and updated the Google service dependencies to the latest version in project build.gradle app/build.gradle

buildscript {

    repositories {
        google()
        jcenter()
    }

    dependencies {
        classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.4.2'
        classpath 'com.google.gms:google-services:4.3.0'
    }
...

...
dependencies {
    testImplementation 'junit:junit:4.12'
    androidTestImplementation 'com.android.support.test:runner:1.0.2'
    androidTestImplementation 'com.android.support.test.espresso:espresso-core:3.0.2'
    implementation 'com.google.firebase:firebase-core:17.0.1'
}

apply plugin: 'com.google.gms.google-services'
com.google.gms.googleservices.GoogleServicesPlugin.config.disableVersionCheck = true

Current workaround is I need to avoid using firebase_messaging for now, hoping this issue can be resolved.

[byshy]

@kroikie I solved the error but I'm not sure how, maybe it's related to Multidex, because the way I added it the second time was different from the first

@akmal02 you can find how to enable Multidex here https://developer.android.com/studio/build/multidex and make sure that you migrated to android x correctly (you can find it here https://flutter.dev/docs/development/packages-and-plugins/androidx-compatibility)
also make sure to use the latest version of everything because the versions of the libraries and plugins in these two links are outdated and the android studio will give you the latest versions (using alt + enter on the highlighted text)

please state here if this was successful or not because I want to be sure if this was my issue or not

[blasten]

I was unable to repro this issue by just adding the dependencies:

  firebase_core: ^0.4.0
  firebase_database: ^3.0.5
  firebase_auth: ^0.14.0
  firebase_messaging: ^5.1.2
  cloud_functions: ^0.4.1

or just:

  firebase_messaging: ^5.1.2

The app is created by running flutter create or flutter create --androidx.

I'd need the exact steps that reproduces the issue. Otherwise, the source code of the app if you can.

[byshy]

I added all the following packages then after a while added the messaging one

firebase_core: ^0.4.0+6
firebase_auth: ^0.11.1+8
google_sign_in: ^4.0.4
cloud_firestore: ^0.12.7
firebase_storage: ^3.0.5
flutter_bloc: ^0.20.0
equatable: ^0.3.0
http: ^0.12.0+2
shared_preferences: ^0.5.3+4
image_picker: ^0.6.1
image_cropper: ^1.0.2
cached_network_image: ^1.1.1
intl: ^0.15.8

also the problem is back I don't know why AGAIN!
