NS7.0: Plugin with id 'com.google.gms.google-services' not found.

[brysem]

Hello,

We were using this plugin with NativeScript 6.15. After ugrading to NativeScript 7.0 the firebase plugin is providing the following error:

Script './omitted/node_modules/@nativescript/firebase/platforms/android/include.gradle' line: 96
A problem occurred evaluating script.
Plugin with id 'com.google.gms.google-services' not found.

As suggested in all of the previous issues with this same error I have run the setup again, (cd node_modules/@nativescript/firebase && npm run setup), generating all of the required hooks anew. I have attempted to reinstall all node_modules.

"dependencies": {
  "@nativescript/firebase": "rc", // 11.0.0-rc.5
}

Any ideas what may be wrong?

Not really having an idea here, but did you change import * as firebase from @nativescript/firebase to import { firebase } from @nativescript/firebase?

That is listed as breaking change in https://nativescript.org/blog/nativescript-7-compatible-plugins/

I was able to solve this issue by adding classpath "com.google.gms:google-services:4.3.0" to platforms/android/build.gradle in the dependencies block. However, this has to be done every time the platforms folder is added...

@brysem please ensure your NS cli is 7.0.6 + @nativescript/firebase 11.0.0-rc5 it would help to fix this.

@ngocnt1 I have nativescript@7.0.6 and the issue occurs anyway...

[ngocnt1]

did you try ns platform clean android or ns platform remove/add android or ns clean because i met the same issue but it worked on 7.0.6

The problem is that by deleting the platforms files, you also delete information that was automatically added when you installed the firebase plugin.

Another way to solve this is to re-install the firebase plugin tns plugin remove nativescript-plugin-firebase then tns plugin add nativescript-plugin-firebase. By doing so, you leave to the cli the task to add the missing dependencies in the file platforms/android/build.gradle.

I am in NS 8 and I encountered this issue, what I did was what @soscler instructed, remove and add the plugin, in addition, I deleted the platforms and hooks folder, then run tns debug android --bundle or whatever command you like, then the error is gone.

To work around this, you can try the following:

Create a new file (or add to your exisiting) called file build.gradle and add the following (or merge into the existing).

repositories {
    google()
    mavenCentral()
}

dependencies {
    classpath "com.google.gms:google-services:4.3.12"
}
