Strings.xml google_app_id conflict with google-services.json

[cybermill]

Expected Behavior

App compiles, Push notifications work, angels sing, the crowds rejoice

Actual Behavior

I get an error with gradle.
Error: Duplicate resources
I've traced the issue to the Strings.xml google_app_id which conflicts with the values.xml that gets generated from the google-services.json
If I comment out the strings.xml line
<!--string name="google_app_id">1234567890123456</string-->
then all compiles.

Reproduce Scenario (including but not limited to)

Google is making developers move from the cloud services to firebase-messaging.
When setting this up, google generates a google-services.json file which gets put at the base of the project.

Steps to Reproduce

• set up android push plugin
• set up firebase messaging
• import the google-services.json file
• build

Platform and Version (eg. Android 5.0 or iOS 9.2.1)

android
I'm compiling in Android Studio 2.1.3

(Android) What device vendor (e.g. Samsung, HTC, Sony...)

N/A

Plugin version

cordova plugin version | grep phonegap-plugin-push:

phonegap-plugin-push 1.8.0 "PushPlugin"

Sample Push Data Payload

@cybermill yeah, FCM is not support by this plugin. It will be part of the 2.0.0 release which you can check out right now in the v2.0.x branch. Try that version and let me know if the problem still exists.

[cybermill]

@macdonst: Ahhh. Thought it must be something like that. I was puzzled by the lack of chatter about it in the issues forum. I'll check out the 2.0 version after the holiday and provide some feedback.

Great job with the plug-in. I used it with the iOS app and it works brilliantly.

Thanks so much for all you do.

[cybermill]

here is the latest. The 2.0.x branch worked, but only after I commented out the strings.xml google_app_id as described in my bug report. If you do that, I have it working on my samsung device so hurray!

Thanks for your help on this macdonst.

[macdonst]

Implementation notes:

• write a hook that copies google-services.json to platforms/android
• remove setting of google_app_id to strings.xml
• add google services gradle plugin
• switch push plugin logic to read sender ID from gcm_defaultSenderId

[leetheguy]

I've never had to install a branch version like this before. I tried googling and couldn't figure it out.
How do I get version 2.0.0 into my app?

[macdonst]

@leetheguy install via the github url:

cordova plugin add https://github.com/phonegap/phonegap-plugin-push#v2.0.x

I should have a release candidate out in npm sometime this week.

[Javierfernandez93]

add the next lines to "config.xml" file or just replace the spec version to "2.0.0-rc2"

<plugin name="phonegap-plugin-push" spec="2.0.0-rc2">
      <param name="SENDER_ID" value="XXXXXXXXX" />
</plugin>

then try to install
$ cordova plugin add phonegap-plugin-push

Hi, v2.0.0-rc2 fails for me with another exception during cordova build process:

i had a lot of issues with phonegap-plugin-push, nowadays i have been working with "onesignal native plugin" for push notifications are great and free!, it's easy to work. Tell me if you want more information.

Using 2.0.0-rc2

[lluisnieto]

Javierfernandez93

Did the trick. BTW, i needed to upgrade my Cordova up to 6.4.0 to allow that plugin version be installed.

[giladKaplan]

hi @kirillgroshkov, what did you do? did you manage to so solve the problem

Hi @kirillgroshkov and @macdonst ; we have the same problem:

Failed to apply plugin [id 'com.google.gms.google-services']
For input string: "+"

Is there already a fix or workaround for this now?

Thanks!

[Javierfernandez93]

@rickgoud
You must to change the + string to stable version i actually works on 9.8.0 for all google services

[sga-lalitesh]

I tried all the version of phonegap-plugin-push but still facing the issue:

I followed this link to install push notification
https://docs.ionic.io/services/push/#setup

Using this command: cordova plugin add phonegap-plugin-push --variable SENDER_ID=12341234 --save

I am facing duplicate app id issue:
#1660

Please help

[robinbonnes]

For me, com.google.gms.google-services was already installed, so I could remove from /platforms/android/phonegap-push-plugin/[appname]-push.gradle:

cdvPluginPostBuildExtras << {
    apply plugin: 'com.google.gms.google-services'
}

Seems like the 'apply plugin' gradle command needs some check if 'plugin' doesn't already exist.

[macdonst]

Fixed in the 2.0.0 release candidates.

[kareraisu]

Hi @macdonst , sorry to bother again.

I'm getting bit by this (duplicate resources for google_app_id and google_api_key) using version 2.1.3 of the plugin (cordova-android 6.4.0).
The only way I can build is deleting the lines under "res/values/strings.xml" key in android.json.
But then the plugin never registers (the registration handler is never called) and I am guessing it has to do with this, because it did before.

I am using the following plugins:

    <plugin name="ionic-plugin-keyboard" spec="^2.2.1" />
    <plugin name="cordova-plugin-whitelist" spec="^1.3.3" />
    <plugin name="cordova-plugin-device" spec="^1.1.7" />
    <plugin name="cordova-plugin-splashscreen" spec="^4.1.0" />
    <plugin name="cordova-plugin-ionic-webview" spec="^1.1.16" />
    <plugin name="cordova-plugin-badge" spec="^0.8.7" />
    <plugin name="cordova-plugin-local-notification" spec="~0.9.0-beta.2" />
    <plugin name="phonegap-plugin-push" spec="2.1.3">
        <variable name="FCM_VERSION" value="11.6.2" />
        <variable name="SENDER_ID" value="XXXXXX" />
    </plugin>

Any suggestions would be much appreciated!
