Failed to apply plugin [class 'com.google.gms.googleservices.GoogleServicesPlugin'] > For input string: "+", again #742

rtm · 2018-06-18T05:48:24Z

Even after installing cordova-android-{firebase,support,play-services}-gradle-release, I still get

Failed to apply plugin [class 'com.google.gms.googleservices.GoogleServicesPlugin']
   > For input string: "+"

I notice the following two lines referring to different versions of com.google.gms:google-servcies:

plugins/cordova-plugin-firebase/src/android/build.gradle:6:        classpath 'com.google.gms:google-services:3.1.0'
plugins/cordova-support-google-services/build.gradle:9:        classpath 'com.google.gms:google-services:3.2.0'

Could this 3.1.0 vs. 3.2.0 be the problem, and if so how would one deal with that?

I am also using cordova-plugin-firebase-dynamiclinks, if that is relevant.
I notice that there is a version 1.2 of the google services plugin, which references v4.0 of com.google.gms:google-services; is there any point in trying that?

The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:

Hi @rtm for fix this problem go to
/platforms/android/cordova-support-google-services

In this directory find the file {APP}-build.gradle

Open and comment the next line

apply plugin: com.google.gms.googleservices.GoogleServicesPlugin

Next, re run

ionice cordova run android

vc-hitesh · 2018-06-26T12:33:24Z

Hello @rtm rtm,

I have faced similar issue of this. To resolve this issue open that gradle and replace + to a specific version.
classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:+'
classpath 'com.google.gms:google-services:+'
change that to:
classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:2.2.1'
classpath 'com.google.gms:google-services:3.1.1'

Also, make same version of firebase in project.properties.
cordova.system.library.1=com.google.android.gms:play-services-base:11.8.0
cordova.system.library.2=com.google.android.gms:play-services-ads:11.8.0
cordova.system.library.5=com.google.android.gms:play-services-tagmanager:11.8.0
cordova.system.library.6=com.google.firebase:firebase-core:11.8.0
cordova.system.library.7=com.google.firebase:firebase-messaging:11.8.0
cordova.system.library.8=com.google.firebase:firebase-crash:11.8.0
cordova.system.library.9=com.google.firebase:firebase-config:11.8.0
cordova.system.library.10=com.google.firebase:firebase-perf:11.8.0

angemimi · 2018-08-02T14:38:48Z

Thank you very much @dualh

soumak77 · 2018-08-30T02:57:34Z

closing as resolved

mesqueeb · 2019-01-17T09:33:21Z

Hello everyone (and especially @dualh and @vc-hitesh )

I first had the problem with input string "+". Then when trying some solutions from here:
go to /platforms/android/cordova-support-google-services and change to

classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:2.2.1' (which was +)

And then in the same file comment out this line:
apply plugin: com.google.gms.googleservices.GoogleServicesPlugin

But.... I now get a lot of version mismatch errors:

I can see that versions are still mismatched in platforms/android/project.properties:

# Project target.
target=android-27
android.library.reference.1=CordovaLib
android.library.reference.2=app
cordova.gradle.include.1=cordova-android-firebase-gradle-release/cinematch-cordova-android-firebase-gradle-release.gradle
cordova.gradle.include.2=cordova-android-play-services-gradle-release/cinematch-cordova-android-play-services-gradle-release.gradle
cordova.gradle.include.3=cordova-plugin-firebase/cinematch-build.gradle
cordova.system.library.1=com.google.android.gms:play-services-tagmanager:+
cordova.system.library.2=com.google.firebase:firebase-core:+
cordova.system.library.3=com.google.firebase:firebase-messaging:+
cordova.system.library.4=com.google.firebase:firebase-config:+
cordova.system.library.5=com.google.firebase:firebase-perf:+
cordova.system.library.6=com.google.android.gms:play-services-auth:11.8.0
cordova.system.library.7=com.google.android.gms:play-services-identity:11.8.0
cordova.system.library.8=com.android.support:support-v4:24.1.1+
cordova.gradle.include.4=cordova-support-google-services/cinematch-build.gradle
cordova.gradle.include.5=phonegap-plugin-multidex/cinematch-multidex.gradle

But my problem is: I don't know which versions to set all these to!

I'm not sure about how to align all the instances of the required gradle & firebase versions for my plugins and how to know what should be which version.
Also, is this really something that needs to be done manually before every android build?

Would any of you be so kind and see if you can point me in the right direction?
I tried so many things but am really lost and confused about these versions now.

The latest android releases for firebase say core is on v16.0.6, so that's what I filled in the versions of FIREBASE_VERSION and PLAY_SERVICES_VERSION.

This is from my package.json

"plugins": {
            "cordova-plugin-whitelist": {},
            "cordova-plugin-inappbrowser": {},
            "cordova-plugin-wkwebview-engine": {},
            "cordova-plugin-x-socialsharing": {
                "ANDROID_SUPPORT_V4_VERSION": "24.1.1+"
            },
            "cordova-plugin-googleplus": {
                "REVERSED_CLIENT_ID": "com.googleusercontent.apps.1062218916578-",
                "WEB_APPLICATION_CLIENT_ID": "1062218916578-",
                "PLAY_SERVICES_VERSION": "16.0.6"
            },
            "cordova-android-firebase-gradle-release": {
                "FIREBASE_VERSION": "16.0.6"
            },
            "cordova-plugin-firebase": {},
            "cordova-android-play-services-gradle-release": {
                "PLAY_SERVICES_VERSION": "16.0.6"
            }
        },

and from my config.xml

 <plugin name="cordova-plugin-whitelist" spec="^1.3.3" />
    <plugin name="cordova-plugin-inappbrowser" spec="^3.0.0" />
    <plugin name="cordova-plugin-wkwebview-engine" spec="^1.1.4" />
    <feature name="CDVWKWebViewEngine">
        <param name="ios-package" value="CDVWKWebViewEngine" />
    </feature>
    <preference name="CordovaWebViewEngine" value="CDVWKWebViewEngine" />
    <plugin name="cordova-plugin-x-socialsharing" spec="^5.4.4">
        <variable name="ANDROID_SUPPORT_V4_VERSION" value="24.1.1+" />
    </plugin>
    <plugin name="cordova-plugin-googleplus" spec="7.0.0">
        <variable name="REVERSED_CLIENT_ID" value="com.googleusercontent.apps." />
        <variable name="WEB_APPLICATION_CLIENT_ID" value="1062218916578-" />
        <variable name="PLAY_SERVICES_VERSION" value="16.0.6" />
    </plugin>
    <plugin name="cordova-android-firebase-gradle-release" spec="^2.0.0">
        <variable name="FIREBASE_VERSION" value="16.0.6" />
    </plugin>
    <plugin name="cordova-plugin-firebase" spec="^2.0.5" />
    <plugin name="cordova-android-play-services-gradle-release" spec="^2.0.0">
        <variable name="PLAY_SERVICES_VERSION" value="16.0.6" />
    </plugin>
    <engine name="ios" spec="^4.5.5" />
    <engine name="android" spec="^7.1.4" />

Thank you very much for your help.

PS, lastly, I also wanted to ask, is it really required to make manual changes inside any files of cordova/platforms/android I have the feeling these changes wouldn't stick especially when removing and adding the android platform?

rtm · 2019-01-17T09:42:44Z

I've pulled the plug on Cordova and its hot mess of version conflicts between Android, Cordova, Cordova platforms, and Cordova plugins. I wasted far too many hours and days of my life trying to get things to work. I delayed new features because I knew the pain that would be involved. I'm writing PWAs now, and life is sweet. Just say no.

mesqueeb · 2019-01-17T09:52:25Z

@rtm well, cordova works beautifully for all plugins for iOS for me. It's just all these android specific gradle versions I think. Firebase android core is on 16.0.6 so I'm guessing that one but...

PS, I can't say no to android app for my client. But don't want to start learning JAVA just to write android apps lol...... I'm a JavaScript dev so.......

PS2: i have updated my post above. I think it’s the versions in /platforms/android/project.properties

mesqueeb · 2019-01-17T14:04:38Z

if I try to put all versions of firebase and google play to 16.0.6 I get warning like this:

> Could not find com.google.firebase:firebase-auth:16.0.6.
> Could not find com.google.firebase:firebase-config:16.0.6.
> Could not find com.google.firebase:firebase-common:16.0.6.
> Could not find com.google.firebase:firebase-analytics-impl:16.0.6.
> Could not find com.google.android.gms:play-services-auth:16.0.6.
> Could not find com.google.android.gms:play-services-identity:16.0.6.

> Could not find com.google.android.gms:play-services-measurement-api:16.0.6.
> Could not find com.google.firebase:firebase-common:16.0.6.

And many more, and for each those lines a bunch of files it "searched" through.

Does anyone know what is the correct firebase & google play version to make this plugin work on Android?

mesqueeb · 2019-01-17T14:19:00Z

If I try to put everything on 16.+ i get these errors:

Failed to notify dependency resolution listener.
> The library com.google.android.gms:play-services-measurement-base is being requested by various other libraries at [[16.0.5,16.0.5], [16.0.0,16.0.0]], but resolves to 16.0.5. Disable the plugin and check your dependencies tree using ./gradlew :app:dependencies.

I'm not sure what is trying to access com.google.android.gms:play-services-measurement-base, and firebase analytics is from this package I think!

I guess I'll open a new thread for my problem.

mesqueeb · 2019-01-17T14:52:29Z

fixed it!

@rtm don't give up on cordova! you can do it!

bryanjorgeflores · 2019-03-01T15:45:06Z

Thank you so much @dualh

pdelaby · 2019-03-05T08:00:32Z

Thanks @dualh for the solution !
However, this involves changing a generated file. It will be tricky to implement on a automated build (ex: on Ionic AppFlow or Jenkins). Does someone have a solution suitable for continuous integration ?

OyebisiJemil · 2019-03-17T17:00:13Z

Hi @rtm for fix this problem go to
/platforms/android/cordova-support-google-services

In this directory find the file {APP}-build.gradle

Open and comment the next line

apply plugin: com.google.gms.googleservices.GoogleServicesPlugin

Next, re run

ionice cordova run android

Thanks, this works for me!

JerryBels · 2019-03-21T21:40:06Z

@dualh solution is no good. I implemented it a few weeks ago, thought I was good to go... I just went through many hours of debug not knowing why Google Login wasn't working anymore. Then I remembered about this. Removed the plugin that was giving errors, removed my fix, rebuilt everything... It works again. Be very careful when implementing this solution.

zto-sbenning · 2019-06-20T07:47:32Z

Hello, why this is close? What is the fix?
I still encounter this issue:

`
Failed to apply plugin [id 'com.google.gms.google-services']

Cannot add extension with name 'googleServices', as there is an extension already registered with that name.
`

My ionic info:

`

`

We have to integrate with Jenkins for CI. And as for other the fix from @dualh is resolving the build, but then the plugin won't works.

What is the resolution for this closed issue please?

Hello @zhiyilee, I migrated to FirebaseX caused the cordova-plugin-firebase is unmaintained currently
