Google services version conflict (Maps / FCM)

Ionic Native
43

Thank you so much, this worked for me

44

this helped me in two projects, both combining FCM and background-location plugins
although the error in console wanted me to install 9.0.0, I only got it working when I used the exact versions mentioned in the post (9.9.0&3.1.0)

45

Thank you so much. I got working FCM, Google Analytics and Social-sharing with your solution (same version, 9.8.0 and 3.1.0).
I add this step at the end of your solution:

In platforms/android/project.properties, replace
cordova.system.library.3=com.google.android.gms:play-services-analytics:+
with
cordova.system.library.3=com.google.android.gms:play-services-analytics:9.8.0

Thanks again !

46

Can you please try this solution? Maybe it can help.

47

Hello, I did as you said, but when i try to run then i get following error:

A problem occurred evaluating root project ‘android’.

Failed to apply plugin [id ‘com.google.gms.google-services’]
For input string: “+”

48

As the title of my favorite website suggests, Let me google that for you:

You’ve probably got a + somewhere that needs to be replaced by a digit, as the last answer on that page suggests.

49

Actually, I did replace + with numbers in build.gradle, project.properties file. Still, it gives me this error. I did google and applied lots of solution but none is working for me.

50

For us to help you, we need to see these and other relevant files. Without a look into these files, it’s guesswork.

Please use code blocks to make it readable.

I encountered the same error now with a newer version of Ionic. Every time I update to new versions, I pray for the best, but Ionic keeps amazing me. However, the problem is the + at cordova.system.library.6=com.google.firebase:firebase-messaging:+. It needs to be 9.8.0, the same as the other versions below this line.

55

i got this problem also. you may need to specific 'com.google.gms.google-services' version insted of “+”.

In my case, i need to change play-services-location from “+” to “11.0.4”.

dependencies {
    ....
    compile "com.google.android.gms:play-services-location:11.0.4"
   ....
    compile "com.google.firebase:firebase-core:11.0.4"
    compile "com.google.firebase:firebase-messaging:11.0.4"
    // SUB-PROJECT DEPENDENCIES END
}

apply plugin: 'com.google.gms.google-services'
56

I got the same problem. After updating the versions in FCM’s and Google Maps’s plugin.xml to 11.0.4, I get the following error.

Found com.google.firebase:firebase-core:11.0.4, but version 9.0.0 is needed for the google-services plugin.
Found com.google.firebase:firebase-messaging:11.0.4, but version 9.0.0 is needed for the google-services plugin.
Found com.google.android.gms:play-services-maps:11.0.4, but version 9.0.0 is needed for the google-services plugin.
Found com.google.android.gms:play-services-location:11.0.4, but version 9.0.0 is needed for the google-services plugin.

FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

  • What went wrong:
    Execution failed for task ‘:processDebugGoogleServices’.
    Please fix the version conflict either by updating the version of the google-services plugin (information about the latest version is available at Service End for Bintray, JCenter, GoCenter, and ChartCenter | JFrog) or updating the version of com.google.android.gms to 9.0.0.

If I change the versions to 9.0.0, I get all sorts of errors in the google maps plugins. Probably due to deprecated/updated method/code

57

If version 9.0.0 doesn’t work, then change the version everywhere to 11.0.4.

58

However, I encourage everyone to stop using the FCM plugin. It doesn’t work correctly with the newest Apple devices. On those devices, a registration token isn’t even generated. Besides, it seems like the plugin isn’t being improved anymore, as the number of issues stays the same and the developer doesn’t respond.

The phonegap-push-plugin is a better alternative. When you use that, you get rid of al the version conflicts too.

It says: “Note: Some input files use or override a deprecated API.”
So, the version of Google Maps you’re using is deprecated. It explains itself.

The Solution Of This Problem Is Very Simple. Just edit the project.properties located in platform/android on Ionic 2 Application. Replace the + sign into a version name like 9.0.1 something like that. Hope that work. It works for me.
