Task :react-native-push-notification:compileDebugJavaWithJavac FAILED all of a sudden

[Helen2hang]

Bug

Two projects that uses this library. But suddenly we can't build them on Android anymore.
Task :react-native-push-notification:compileDebugJavaWithJavac FAILED

It seems like other people are having this issue too. But it might be related to react-native-fcm.

Anyone know how to fix it?

FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

Execution failed for task ':react-native-push-notification:compileDebugJavaWithJavac'.

Steps To Reproduce

1. npx react-native run-android

Describe what you expected to happen:

1. App should build successfully on Android

Reproducible sample code

[jeffbonasso-ambifi]

Getting the exact same errors. I built probably 50 times with no issue, and then suddenly on multiple build machines this error started occurring. Suspect not specifically in this library but a low-level dependency that was pushed.

[catherinekorres]

I'm getting the same error, it started about an hour ago out of nowhere

[lourencorodrigo]

Getting the same error here.

[nikolaywithpara]

Try to add implementation com.google.firebase:firebase-messaging:21.1.0 to app/build.gradle and
firebaseMessagingVersion=21.1.0 to gradle.properties. Worked for me

[taltrui]

Try to add implementation com.google.firebase:firebase-messaging:21.1.0 to app/build.gradle and
firebaseMessagingVersion=21.1.0 to gradle.properties. Worked for me

This worked for me! Thank you @nikolaywithpara!
Do you know what could cause this? maybe an old firebase-messaging that would make some kind of conflict with some package used version?

[nikolaywithpara]

@taltrui I think none of us has fixed firebase messaging package version and firebase did new release with breaking changes

Is this the same error everyone facing ?

all of a sudden react-native run-android is failing due to this

[jeffbonasso-ambifi]

Thanks @nikolaywithpara! Worked perfect. You can also add firebaseMessagingVersion in android/build.gradle along with other library versions instead of gradle.properties:

ext {
        firebaseMessagingVersion = "21.1.0"
        googlePlayServicesLocationVersion = "17.0.0"
        buildToolsVersion = "29.0.2"
        minSdkVersion = 21
        compileSdkVersion = 29
        targetSdkVersion = 29
        supportLibVersion = "28.0.0"
}
