Android build fails with cordova-android version 11 and targetSdkVersion >= 31

[unekinn]

Tested with pushwoosh-cordova-plugin 8.3.6 and cordova-android 11.0.0.

According to Google we have to start targeting sdk version 31 this November

Starting in November 2022, app updates must target API level 31 or above and adjust for behavioral changes in Android 12

Here's the build error:

Hello @larskinn, judging the trace you provided, I assume your app using a multiple implementations of FirebaseMessagingService. Am I correct? If so, please consider using a router service. More info here: https://docs.pushwoosh.com/platform-docs/pushwoosh-sdk/cross-platform-frameworks/cordova/customizing-cordova-plugin#using-pushwoosh-plugin-with-other-fcm-services

[unekinn]

@Techsorcist

I assume your app using a multiple implementations of FirebaseMessagingService

I don't believe we are. We for sure are not actively using any other messaging service, and the only search result for FirebaseMessagingService in the generated platforms/android folder is in platforms/android/app/src/main/java/com/pushwoosh/plugin/pushnotifications/CustomFirebaseMessagingService.java

We're using the following cordova plugins, and no custom platform-specific code:

cordova-plugin-device
cordova-plugin-geolocation
cordova-plugin-inappbrowser
cordova-plugin-calendar
cordova-plugin-statusbar
cordova-plugin-market
cordova-plugin-file-opener2
cordova-plugin-file
cordova-plugin-dialogs
cordova-plugin-splashscreen
cordova-universal-links-plugin
cordova-plugin-androidx-adapter
cordova-plugin-camera
cordova-plugin-ionic-webview
cordova-plugin-app-version
pushwoosh-cordova-plugin

Here's all search results for com.google.firebase:

[Jahrenski]

I want to mention that the same is occurring while targeting Android sdk 32 as well

[Techsorcist]

@larskinn, @Jahrenski thanks for the info! We'll check it. Just to be sure, did you integrate the plugin according to the guide, that's correct?

[unekinn]

@Techsorcist

Just to be sure, did you integrate the plugin according to the guide, that's correct?

Yes. Pushwoosh has been working in our app for over two years.

[wfhm]

@larskinn @Jahrenski we found the issue on our side and it was fixed with the 8.3.7 release. Please update and let us know about the results.

@larskinn The strange thing is that you seemingly have 2 unrelated issues - we've fixed the one related to the registerDevice() method:

<app-dir>/platforms/android/app/src/main/java/com/pushwoosh/plugin/pushnotifications/PushNotifications.java:182: error: cannot find symbol
                                        if (result.isSuccess() && result.getData != null) {
                                                                        ^
  symbol:   variable getData
  location: variable result of type Result<RegisterForPushNotificationsResultData,RegisterForPushNotificationsException>

I could not reproduce the issues coming from CustomFirebaseMessagingService.java though. Could you please let me know if they persist after updating the plugin to 8.3.7?

[Jahrenski]

Hi! I deleted the platforms and plugins folders and installed the new version of the plugin. The build fails with the custom firebase error again.

@wfhm On version 8.3.7 I now get the first 7 errors in my initial report. The quoted PushNotifications.java:182: error: cannot find symbol is gone.

[wfhm]

@Jahrenski could be something related to how dependencies are added in Ionic projects. Please let me pull some time to look into it.

@larskinn by any chance is your project Ionic-based as well? Could you please share what your environment is (Cordova/Ionic/Capacitor etc) and its version?

[Jahrenski]

Any news on fixing this issue? The November deadline is approaching fast.

[wfhm]

@Jahrenski @larskinn I still could not reproduce the issue locally, so not much progress so far.

If you do not use any other push notification services, then you can simply delete the CustomFirebaseMessagingService.java from the plugin sources as a workaround. This class is actually only used if you enable it in config.xml or in AndroidManifest.xml

[Jahrenski]

Yeah it does compile when removing that file (and also its reference from Plugin.xml) but that would require us to fork the plugin and merge all future updates to stay up to date.

But it fails at runtime because it is expecting to find stuff relating to firebase.

[Jahrenski]

I created a new cordova (not ionic) app from scratch and only added pushwoosh as a plugin and nothing else and I still get the compilation error so it has nothing to do with ionic or angular or other plugins interfering.

Here are the config.xml and package.json for a very minimal reproduction. (my google-services.json not included) hello.zip

[wfhm]

@Jahrenski just did the same and still no compilation errors. Does it happen in debug or release version of the app, or both?

[Jahrenski]

Same happens with both debug and release.

[wfhm]

@Jahrenski got it reproduced after updating gradle version - my projects were all using an older one. For some reason, Firebase Messaging library classes are not accessible from the plugin after the update. While we are looking into it, you can simply comment out the following line in the plugin's plugin.xml:

<source-file src="src/android/src/com/pushwoosh/plugin/pushnotifications/CustomFirebaseMessagingService.java"
            target-dir="src/com/pushwoosh/plugin/pushnotifications"/>

Then remove and re-add Android platform for changes to take into effect. Make sure you update plugin.xml of the plugin located in /plugins directory, not in node_modules.

[Jahrenski]

This is the same as above. Removing this line compiles yes, but crashes at runtime immediately.

@Jahrenski okay, so, apparently, cordova-android@11.0.0 does not allow you specifying dependency version range anymore. Right now the plugin adds Firebase dependencies as below:

        <framework src="com.google.firebase:firebase-core:(+,19.0.99]" />
        <framework src="com.google.firebase:firebase-messaging:(+,22.0.99]" />

This is intentionally done to avoid using the latest alpha versions of these libs. The fix is to replace the version range with a particular version or just with the "+" sign to use the latest available version:

        <framework src="com.google.firebase:firebase-core:+" />
        <framework src="com.google.firebase:firebase-messaging:+" />

However, before we apply such changes, I want to check if there is any alternative to avoid using alpha versions. In the meantime, you can manually update the plugin's plugin.xml to use the latest version (or any particular version).

I can confirm that using the following compiles and runs :

<framework src="com.google.firebase:firebase-core:+" />
<framework src="com.google.firebase:firebase-messaging:+" />

We will be waiting for the official release of this patch. Thanks.

@Jahrenski @larskinn Fixed in 8.3.8. Please let us know if the issue persists

[Jahrenski]

It seems to be working thanks!
