Unable to create service com.appboy.AppboyFirebaseMessagingService

[chitchu]

Hi, we've been getting this error on the google pre-launch report and in the Crashes and ANRs section.

java.lang.RuntimeException: Unable to create service com.appboy.AppboyFirebaseMessagingService: 
java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: Didn't find class "com.appboy.AppboyFirebaseMessagingService" 
on path: DexPathList ...trimmed

Our configuration is as follows:

AndroidManifest.xml

<service android:name="com.appboy.AppboyFirebaseMessagingService" android:exported="true">
    <intent-filter>
        <action android:name="com.google.firebase.MESSAGING_EVENT"/>
    </intent-filter>
</service>

package.json

"appboy-cordova-sdk": "github:appboy/appboy-cordova-sdk#2.30.1"

We we're previously using appboy-cordova-sdk#2.24.0. Using this version has a separate issue

Manifest merger failed : android:exported needs to be explicitly specified for element <service#com.appboy.AppboyFirebaseMessagingService>.

Which we already have defined. Updating fixed this issue.

Capacitor version 4.

@chitchu please update your manifest to use com.braze.push.BrazeFirebaseMessagingService instead of com.appboy.AppboyFirebaseMessagingService. See e.g. https://github.com/Appboy/appboy-android-sdk/blob/e97b12a2078e8ab614e1bb866c2ab7dac806d41e/samples/firebase-push/src/main/AndroidManifest.xml#L26
