[🐛][ 🔥] Cannot build in Android Studio after upgrading firebase/app past 9.0.0

Issue

Describe your issue here

--- I'm unable to build in Android Studio after upgrading past "@react-native-firebase/app": "^8.4.7". When I do I receive the error below. I do not receive this error and am able to build fine on any earlier versions of react-native-firebase/app. It was not clear to me that I was missing anything when going through the release notes and looking at the breaking changes.

Error
Execution failed for task ':app:processDebugResources'.

npx react-native-clean-project I think. This is a local environment issue, we run continuous integration which compiles everything on every change, and there are no build failures

You're development tools (Android Studio + Xcode) are out of date, perhaps updating Android Studio would help as well. Definitely take react-native-firebase to 10.5.x though, it's current.

[sta-vanger]

I encountered this issue. I'm using the latest firebase/app - 10.5.0. Basically my android app is working (can compile, build and run in real device). After integrating the latest firebase/app by following this guide https://rnfirebase.io/ , I could no longer build the app and see this issue: Problems reading data from Binary store in /private/var/folders/7w/ybpt01bn47j5q2xg5vrqn75r0000gn/T/gradle5226835182018207497.bin

[sta-vanger]

@jbienia Were you able to resolve this?

[mikehardy]

@sta-vanger npx react-native-clean-project

[sta-vanger]

Hi @mikehardy , I already did this but still I encountered the same issue.

[sta-vanger]

This only happens on Android. Works fine on iOS.

[jbienia]

@sta-vanger I haven't been able to fix it. I've run 'npx react-native-clean-project' and am messing around with updating Gradle. It doesn't look to me like my developer tools are out of date. But perhaps I'm missing something. Everything works fine before 9.0.0 and everything after somehow breaks something with, I'm assuming, Gradle?

[jbienia]

@sta-vanger and @mikehardy it seems from firebase/app 9.0.0 and on there is a dependency on Firebase instance ID. If you add 'implementation "com.google.firebase:firebase-iid:21.0.0' to app/build.gradle in 'dependencies' you should be good to go.

[mikehardy]

Instance Is transitive dependency should be handled by the firebase bom but there was a bug with Auth module not bringing in browser dependency even though it was necessary. Are you confirming adding iid dependency explicitly fixes it?

[jbienia]

Yes. Adding the iid dependency explicitly fixed it. The dependency is needed for firebase/app 9.0.0 or greater. I'm now currently up to date with '10.5.*' and everything works fine.

[mikehardy]

Fascinating.

"@react-native-firebase/app": "^9.0.0",
"@react-native-firebase/auth": "^9.3.5",
"@react-native-firebase/database": "^7.5.15",
"@react-native-firebase/storage": "^7.4.14",

The way we discovered that firebase/auth needed androidx.browser was through a little-used combination of packages, where the more commonly used combination(s) meant that it was brought in so few people noticed it.

I think firebase/messaging (and likely firebase/analytics, maybe others) bring in iid and those are more-used combinations, your combination of packages above must (?) need iid but unexpectedly not have it.

I'll re-open this for investigation, it is likely an upstream issue but also may be worked around here. The iid dependency has had issues in the past, it appears to be a problem child firebase/firebase-android-sdk#1077
