Build fails with firebase dependency

[ggajews]

This library is using protobuf-java dependency which clashes with Firebase library which contains protobuf-javalite.
I'm not sure if there is a way to resolve this dependency issue.

My android instrumentation builds fails with multiple errors like this:

Duplicate class com.google.protobuf.AbstractMessageLite found in modules jetified-protobuf-java-3.14.0 (com.google.protobuf:protobuf-java:3.14.0) and jetified-protobuf-lite-3.0.1 (com.google.protobuf:protobuf-lite:3.0.1)

It feels like your problem would be solved if we changed the protobuf dependency to protobuf-lite.

I tried this and everything seems to build, so unless anyone objects, you can expect a release for this early next week.

👍 thanks!

I just released v1.4, with the protobuf-lite replacement. It'll probably take O(hours) before it is distributed across all channels.
