Can't build after installing @ionic-native/firebase-analytics

Ionic Framework
1

I’m using Ionic 4 and I would like to use what is described in https://ionicframework.com/docs/native/firebase-analytics but after installing the dependencies I can’t build the app, it fails with

ERROR: In project 'app' a resolved Google Play services library dependency depends on another at an exact version (e.g. "[18.0.0]", 
but isn't being resolved to that version. Behavior exhibited by the library will be unknown.

Dependency failing: com.google.firebase:firebase-messaging:18.0.0 -> com.google.firebase:firebase-iid@[18.0.0], but firebase-iid version was 19.0.0.

The following dependencies are project dependencies that are direct or have transitive dependencies that lead to the artifact with the issue.
-- Project 'app' depends onto com.google.firebase:firebase-iid@{strictly 19.0.0}
-- Project 'app' depends onto com.microsoft.appcenter:appcenter-push@{strictly 2.4.1}
-- Project 'app' depends onto com.microsoft.appcenter:appcenter-push@2.4.1
-- Project 'app' depends onto com.google.firebase:firebase-messaging@{strictly 18.0.0}
-- Project 'app' depends onto com.google.firebase:firebase-analytics@{strictly 17.2.1}
-- Project 'app' depends onto com.google.firebase:firebase-core@{strictly 16.0.9}
-- Project 'app' depends onto com.google.firebase:firebase-analytics@17.2.+
-- Project 'app' depends onto com.google.android.gms:play-services-measurement-api@{strictly 17.2.1}

For extended debugging info execute Gradle from the command line with ./gradlew --info :app:assembleDebug to see the dependency 
paths to the artifact. This error message came from the google-services Gradle plugin, report issues at https://github.com/google/play-services-plugins 
and disable by adding "googleServices { disableVersionCheck = false }" to your build.gradle file.

As suggested in the error above I’ve runned ./gradlew --info :app:assembleDebug and it shows me

I can see why the conflict with the versions but I don’t know how to solve it and it seems imposible for me.

Here is my dependencies in package.json in case it helps to figure out a solution.

I also faced such type of issues … Try installing these two plugins which provides dependencies for android 10…
cordova-plugin-androidx
cordova-plugin-androidx-adapter…

Another thing which i think creating conflict is that you are using two analytics.
appcenter-analytics and firebaseanayltics…

Changing the version to ‘+’ of the firebaseplugin in the project properties in platform->Android folder…

Do let me know if this works out…

Hey, @ketanambekar, thanks for your reply.
Sadly, it didn’t work for me. cordova-plugin-androidx and cordova-plugin-androidx-adapter does not work with capacitor. I ended up manually specifying
implementation 'com.google.firebase:firebase-analytics:16.0.6'
in my android\app\build.gradle and using this plugin https://github.com/stewwan/capacitor-analytics

It is working, I’m ok with that. I wish I could use the Ionic native plugin with the latest version of firebase-analytics

oh ok ok, I thought you were using cordova in your app… Yes I think for now we need to add manually only in capacitor…
