Android App Not working with NS 8.2.

Android App Not working with NS 8.2.

[SingleMalted]

@maddy2get basically what @comporell has posted above.

Your platform/app/build.gradle needs to have apply plugin: "com.google.gms.google-services" and your
platform/build.gradle needs to contain dependencies { classpath "com.google.gms:google-services:4.3.4"}

I use an after-prepare hook script to write these two lines to their respective files. This is necessary for me as I use CI/CD for my builds. If you don't use a CI/CD you can manually update the build files with the lines above.

[SingleMalted]

Same issue here with vanilla JS.

[comporell]

@SingleMalted I've encountered this same problem but I'm confused by your description of the locations. I have a {N} 8.2 JS project, and I don't have (or can't find) a platform/app/build.gradle file. Would that be platforms/android/build.gradle? Nor do I seem to have what you describe as the root build.gradle - maybe App_Resources/Android/app.gradle or perhaps App_resources/Android/before-plugins.gradle? You are talking about a NativeScript project, yes?

Rather than adding classpath to platforms/android/build.gradle a better method is to create a file named App_Resources/Android/buildscript.gradle

with the content below:

repositories {
    google()
    jcenter()
}
dependencies {
    classpath "com.google.gms:google-services:4.3.4"
}

this way, the gms configuration will be included at the initialization of the build process. Make sure to clean the project and start over.

[pmiguelmartins]

@tylerablake Hi I had the same problem

You have to had this in Manifest (I think its because the script when insert this code in the Manifest does't put the exported)

<service android:name="org.nativescript.plugins.firebase.MyFirebaseInstanceIDService" android:exported="false"> <intent-filter> <action android:name="com.google.firebase.INSTANCE_ID_EVENT" /> </intent-filter> </service> <service android:name="org.nativescript.plugins.firebase.MyFirebaseMessagingService" android:exported="false"> <intent-filter> <action android:name="com.google.firebase.MESSAGING_EVENT" /> </intent-filter> </service>

PS - Sorry for my English but I'm Portuguese

[SingleMalted]

Thanks @tujlaky I already have that apply plugin in my app.gradle file. This is driving me crazy.

Hi @comporell, I followed your steps and added the content in buildscript.gradle >. I get some new error:

A problem occurred evaluating script.
Could not find method compile() for arguments [com.romandanylyk:pageindicatorview:1.0.3] on object of type org.gradle.api.internal.artifacts.dsl.dependencies.DefaultDependencyHandler.

Seems the compile() function has been removed in gradle 7.0 and depracated before 4.10. Does anyone know how to specify the gradle version used? Or an idea for a fix for the problem above?

[gabrielbiga]

Hello guys, I found the issue.
This patch seems to fix it: Just override your hooks/firebase-build-gradle.js

https://gist.github.com/gabrielbiga/aa4efb87704bc5238efdaa5a9d06fa1d

I will create a PR adding this modified hook to the code. Until then, please test it.

[tujlaky]

For me the following line fixed the issue in the App_Resources/Android/app.gradle file:

// Add the following line:
apply plugin: 'com.google.gms.google-services'  // Google Services plugin

android {

https://firebase.google.com/docs/android/setup#manually_add_firebase

[comporell]

For me the following line fixed the issue in the App_Resources/Android/app.gradle file:

// Add the following line:
apply plugin: 'com.google.gms.google-services'  // Google Services plugin

android {

https://firebase.google.com/docs/android/setup#manually_add_firebase

Sadly, this did not work for me. I am getting the same error mentioned above.

[SingleMalted]

I was able to fix my issue. The classpath com.google.gms:google-services wasn't being copied over to the build.gradle dependencies node.

[maddy2get]

I am also having the same issue. @SingleMalted could you please provide more info, example of .gradle file with it's location?

[comporell]

I made the following changes and managed to build. I hope this gets fixed in the future
in App_Resources\Android\app.gradle

(...)
android {
    compileSdkVersion 31 // <-- This
    defaultConfig {
(...)

in platforms\android\build.gradle

(...)
    dependencies {
        (...)
        classpath "com.google.gms:google-services:4.3.4"  // <-- This
    }
    (...)

[maddy2get]

Thanks @SingleMalted and @comporell for the detailed explanation.

[pmiguelmartins]

I made the changes in platform/app/build.gradle and platform/build.gradle
but when I execute : ns debug android

I receive the error

Can anybody help me

Thanks

[SingleMalted]

@pmiguelmartins Do you have the google-service.json file in that directory?

https://developers.google.com/android/guides/google-services-plugin

[pmiguelmartins]

@SingleMalted Thanks for the fast response

Yes I have .... this was working ...
But know gives this error

[Bezlepkin]

I have same issue :

(

[SingleMalted]

The apply plugin: 'com.google.gms.google-services' needs to be called at the beginning of the platform/app/build.gradle and the dependencies { classpath "com.google.gms:google-services:4.3.4"} goes in the root build.gradle.

[pmiguelmartins]

@SingleMalted

I create a new project and put the code where you mentioned

I still have the error

[SingleMalted]

Excuse me for asking again but you are downloading your google-service.json file from your firebase account correct?

[pmiguelmartins]

@SingleMalted yes
And download again to compare but is iqual

[SingleMalted]

@pmiguelmartins do you have any hook scripts that might be overwriting the gradle.build? It took me a bit of work to get my project working but the best thing I can do at this point is just send you this https://developers.google.com/android/guides/google-services-plugin

run ns doctor and send the results. Also what version of Node/NPM are you using?

[pmiguelmartins]

@SingleMalted

node version : v16.14.1

I created a new app ( ns create example-app --vue )

and make the changes but the error keeps ...

[SingleMalted]

Oh didn't realize you are using vue, not that it should really matter but I'm using TS/Vanilla JS.
I don't think the node version v16.14.1 is supported however.
I'm running on node v14.15.0

[SingleMalted]

I'm sure your structure is different than mine since I'm building in vanilla js. I have hook scripts that write to a couple build.gradles.

I would suggest jumping on the NS discord channel and asking someone who is currently using vue.

[SingleMalted]

@pmiguelmartins you're getting closer.

Your android manifest needs an exported="true || false" for every activity.

You also need to add your firebase services. Bare with me I'm on the beach on my phone 😆 I'll get you that code in a few min.

[pmiguelmartins]

@SingleMalted Thanks very much

And enjoy the beach ... I'm from Portugal / Algarve ... I know what is beach time !!!!

[SingleMalted]

@SingleMalted Thanks very much

And enjoy the beach ... I'm from Portugal / Algarve ... I know what is beach time !!!!

You need to add a service for every firebase component you're using... like so

<service android:name="org.nativescript.plugins.firebase.MyFirebaseInstanceIDService" android:exported="false">
			<intent-filter>
				<action android:name="com.google.firebase.INSTANCE_ID_EVENT" />
			</intent-filter>
		</service>
		<service android:name="org.nativescript.plugins.firebase.MyFirebaseMessagingService" android:exported="false">
			<intent-filter>
				<action android:name="com.google.firebase.MESSAGING_EVENT" />
			</intent-filter>
		</service>

@comporell I added the buildscript.gradle file you suggested as well as having android:exported="true" set in the AndroidManifest but I'm receiving this error:

Unable to create service org.nativescript.plugins.firebase.MyFirebaseMessagingService: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: Didn't find class "org.nativescript.plugins.firebase.MyFirebaseMessagingService" on path: DexPathList

Any ideas?

[comporell]

Any ideas?

Do you have multiDexEnabled true in App_Resources/Android/app.gradle?

[tylerablake]

Yeah I do

[tylerablake]

@pmiguelmartins Thanks for helping out! Yes, I have android:exported="false" for those.

[jitendraP-ashutec]

@gabrielbiga After replacing firebase-build-gradle.js I am got below error:

Do you have any idea suggestion to resolve this issue ?

I've tried everything described here but unfortunately nothing works.

Urgent response and error correction is needed!

[mrzanirato]

Hello,
any news about the fix? unfortunately we have an old NS6 project ... is there some chance that a fix will be released also for the NS6 version ...
Thanks
Marco

[mrzanirato]

@EddyVerbruggen we have the same problem with NS6, do you have any suggestions? Thanks

[calleja23]

Solved for me.
Thank you very much
