Firebase App unable to Compile on Android with AAPT error

Hello,

I am trying to implement this solution but I am having some trouble.

What gradle version are you using? What version of Android Studio?

I’ve implemented all the steps indicated above, in addition to replacing the cordova firebase plugin with this:

ionic cordova plugin add https://github.com/dpa99c/cordova-plugin-firebase#GH-1057-April-05-android-build-issue

I am getting this error in Android Studio:

Error:(40, 0) Minimum supported Gradle version is 4.10.1. Current version is 4.1.

Please fix the project's Gradle settings.
<a href="fixGradleVersionInWrapper">Fix Gradle wrapper and re-import project</a><br><a href="openGradleSettings">Gradle settings</a>

In /platforms/android/gradle/gradle.wrapper.properties I have:

#Wed Jun 19 13:26:40 BST 2019
distributionBase=GRADLE_USER_HOME
distributionPath=wrapper/dists
zipStoreBase=GRADLE_USER_HOME
zipStorePath=wrapper/dists
distributionUrl=https\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-4.1-all.zip

UPDATE:

Manage to solve the issues with mzepeda’s answer below.

Many thanks!
I do not know if they saw but they have already upgraded to version 4.0.0. In my case, I just needed to do the following:

ionic cordova platforms rm android
ionic cordova platform add android@8.0.0
cordova plugin add cordova-plugin-firebase-lib@4.0.0

Thank you so much!

It did work for me as well.

I finally was able to compile yesterday:

There are 2 options, if you don´t mind upgrading to android cordova 8+ than this is the answer that worked for me:

https://stackoverflow.com/a/56656680/8406357

I can confirm that this is a working solution.

The second option if you don’t want to upgrade to 8+ a new version of the firebase plugin has been released that fixes the issue, i haven’t tested it myself though.

This is the pull request for version 3.3.0:

After many build attempts, I managed to fix the issue without using cordova-plugin-androidx.
2 steps:

  1. Fix the dependencies to older (stable) versions in project.properties file:

cordova.system.library.2=com.google.android.gms:play-services-tagmanager:16.0.8
cordova.system.library.3=com.google.firebase:firebase-core:16.0.8
cordova.system.library.4=com.google.firebase:firebase-messaging:17.5.0
cordova.system.library.5=com.google.firebase:firebase-config:16.4.1
cordova.system.library.6=com.google.firebase:firebase-perf:16.2.4
cordova.system.library.7=com.google.android.gms:play-services-location:16.0.0
cordova.system.library.8=com.google.android.gms:play-services-analytics:16.0.8

  1. You MUST also in cordova-plugin-firebase/pizzafan-build.gradle file
    change
    compile ‘com.google.firebase:firebase-auth:+’
    to
    compile ‘com.google.firebase:firebase-auth:17.0.0’

That is the correct solution! It was a 10 hours of suffering with that bug. Thanks!

Seems like there is two plugins.
cordova-plugin-firebase

and
cordova-plugin-firebase-lib

Are the interchangeable?

This works for me. Thanks!

Worked for me too. Somebody I need I’ll need to update.

They added “lib” on the latest versions, so yes, they are pretty much the same but you should start using cordova-plugin-firebase-lib and add the version your need, for android-cordova > 8.0.0 you should use cordova-plugin-firebase-lib@4.0.0 and for android-cordova < 8.0.0 cordova-plugin-firebase-lib@3.3.0 which is the one that fixes the latest firebase breaking changes.

This worked for me too. Thx :pray:

It made BUILD SUCCEEDED, but when opened the result “/platform/android” with Android Studio following error has occurred.

Does anybody know how to fix it?

This works for me. Keep in mind according to the docs new minimum required cordova-android version is 8.0.0. Thank you !

Have you generated successfully to *.apk from Android Studio?

For us upgrading cordova to a newer version was not an option, so forcing com.google.firebase:firebase-auth to use an older version did the trick. Thanks!

Yes it is worked for me also

This has worked for me!!!

I have done the steps but then I get another error

I modified the project.properties file located at ./platforms/android/project.properties
