add public void onNewToken(String s) in MessagingService can fixed the issues

maybe use

        <!--</intent-filter>-->
    <!--</service>-->

and add public void onNewToken(String s) in MessagingService

[TomYan2255]

add public void onNewToken(String s) in MessagingService can fixed the issues

But error is located in this file:- \node_modules\react-native-fcm\android\src\main\java\com\evollu\react\fcm\InstanceIdService.java file

hide InstanceIdService.java don't used the class :)

[haripermadi]

It working again after I follow @ravishankar3961 , thanks. It is because depreciated method

[haripermadi]

but my push notifications not working

[MITDD6338]

@thisisbalaG Same error happening with me

[ravishankar3961]

but my push notifications not working

@haripermadi were you able to generate token ?

[haripermadi]

but my push notifications not working

@haripermadi were you able to generate token ?

yes, I can generate the token. I used this for a chatting feature using qiscus sdk. When I test sending push notif from firebase console, it is working properly, but when I test using my chat it doesn't work.

[MITDD6338]

@ravishankar3961 I can change this code in my project my App Successfully build but App install in my device has stopped this app

so can We Help me

[duydatpham]

It working again after I follow @ravishankar3961 , thanks. It is because depreciated method

i build successfully. but this app crash when run. this is exception : java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: Failed resolution of: Lcom/google/firebase/auth/FirebaseAuth; at com.google.firebase.auth.FirebaseAuthRegistrar.getComponents(Unknown Source:3)

someone help me :|

[suraneti]

@ravishankar3961 It working again with notification push tested.

[NomanGul]

Thanks @ravishankar3961 It's working now!

[danhnguyeen]

I have same problem. It worked before. But now, It shown the error. After trying @ravishankar3961 's solution, I can build without error now. But I tried to send the notification, it doesn't work

[PriyaPatne9]

Thanks for the help @ravishankar3961. Your solution resolved the error but my app is crashing on launch without any error.

[rohit75]

Solution resolved the error for me also but app crashes on start

[vinay340]

Thanks @ravishankar3961 .Your solution works but application started crashing on launch.

[danhnguyeen]

ah, I confirm that @ravishankar3961 's solution is worked for me. Many thanks

[ayansGit]

Thanks @ravishankar3961 . The Solution did worked, you saved the day..!! 👍 The FirebaseInstanceIdService class is deprecated, So FirebaseMessagingService and onNewToken really worked !! Thanks again.

[Krutarth-Dave]

@ravishankar3961 After doing the changes, I am getting this Error and Build fails.

• What went wrong: Execution failed for task ':app:transformClassesAndResourcesWithProguardForPreqaRelease'.

  Job failed, see logs for details

[vinay340]

Hello everyone , Below is the crash log i am getting when app launches.

E/AndroidRuntime: FATAL EXCEPTION: main Process: com.appID, PID: 18120 java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: Failed resolution of: Lcom/google/firebase/auth/FirebaseAuth; at com.google.firebase.auth.FirebaseAuthRegistrar.getComponents(Unknown Source) at com.google.firebase.components.ComponentRuntime.(com.google.firebase:firebase-common@@17.0.0:56) at com.google.firebase.FirebaseApp.(com.google.firebase:firebase-common@@17.0.0:478)

How to solve the above issue?

[souravkrj]

getToken() is also deprecated as written in documentation so what to do? should we use getInstanceId() as written

[theodorusyoga]

@ravishankar3961 @haripermadi just facing this error around 3 hours ago, previously was running just fine. I tried @ravishankar3961's solution and the build succeed.

Notification received on background, but not on the foreground. For background notification, click_action is also not working. Probably the best time to switch to react-native-firebase?

[brianinator]

The @ravishankar3961 's solution worked but it not the right way as a build server will not get the fix. It needs to be added upstream to react-native-fcm.

[zhou-ting]

change firebase version in below files: ${project}\android\app\build.gradle

...
//implementation 'com.google.firebase:firebase-core'
//implementation 'com.google.firebase:firebase-messaging'
implementation 'com.google.firebase:firebase-core:16.0.8'
implementation 'com.google.firebase:firebase-messaging:17.6.0'
...

and ${project}\android\gradle.properties At the bottom of file add

firebaseCoreVersion=16.0.8
firebaseMessagingVersion=17.6.0

[Gabsys]

change firebase version in below files: ${project}\node_modules\react-native-fcm\android\build.gradle,

...
//def DEFAULT_FIREBASE_CORE_VERSION           = "+"
//def DEFAULT_FIREBASE_MESSAGING_VERSION      = "+"
def DEFAULT_FIREBASE_CORE_VERSION           = "16.0.3"
def DEFAULT_FIREBASE_MESSAGING_VERSION      = "17.6.0"
...

and ${project}\android\app\build.gradle

...
//implementation 'com.google.firebase:firebase-core'
//implementation 'com.google.firebase:firebase-messaging'
implementation 'com.google.firebase:firebase-core:16.0.3'
implementation 'com.google.firebase:firebase-messaging:17.6.0'
...

Hmmm... my ${project}\node_modules\react-native-fcm\android\build.gradle originally didn't have def DEFAULT_FIREBASE_CORE_VERSION = "+" def DEFAULT_FIREBASE_MESSAGING_VERSION = "+" this 2 line.

At which part should I add the new lines?

[jonathanwmaddison]

@Gabsys I had the same issue and found out I am several version behind on react-native-fcm. I updated to react-native-fcm": "^16.2.4" and this line is now present in that file.

[never00miss]

apparently it’s because google deprecated FirebaseInstanceService, now you must use FirebaseMessagingService

[Bob-JZhao]

@zhou-ting , thanks for the solution. Alternatively, you can add below configuration in ${project}\android\gradle.properties file. So that every time when you clean the project, don't need to change ${project}\node_modules\react-native-fcm\android\build.gradle again.

googlePlayServicesVersion=16.0.3
firebaseMessagingVersion=17.6.0

[ravishankar3961]

The @ravishankar3961 's solution worked but it not the right way as a build server will not get the fix. It needs to be added upstream to react-native-fcm.

yeah 😄, i cannot agree more

[kyubjn]

@ravishankar3961 thank bro.

[vinay340]

@theodorusyoga , No Need to Switch to react-native-firebase. I got a solution to get a push when app is in foreground. simply we need to make use of

FCM.presentLocalNotification()

Function with some inputs when app is in foreground explicitly .Below FCM object helped to solve issue.

FCM.presentLocalNotification({ channel: “channel ID", title:”Title" body: “Body" sound: “default" priority: “High" auto_cancel: true, icon: “icon name" color: “any default colour" vibrate: 300, wake_screen: true, group: "group", ongoing: true, show_in_foreground: true // this is very important });

[dev-z]

@ravishankar3961 The docs for onNewToken(String token) states that

public void onNewToken (String token)
Called when a new token for the default Firebase project is generated.

This is invoked after app install when a token is first generated, and again if the token changes.

So, do we still need this line (below) for getting the updated token?

 String refreshedToken = FirebaseInstanceId.getInstance().getToken();

Isn't the updated token available in the token parameter of this method? Can we just write

@Override
    public void onNewToken(String token) {
        // Get updated InstanceID token.
        String refreshedToken = token;
        ...
        ...

[ghost]

@ravishankar3961 working fine when the app is in background, closed but when the app is in forgeround its not working

yes we can do that, as the onNewToken method is already giving us token

[jpventura]

I've made a quick dirty hack updating InstanceIdService.java and pointing my package.json to my project fork:

"react-native-fcm": "git@github.com:jpventura/react-native-fcm.git#bugfix/issue-1111"

however it would be cleaner if the solution was merged, because I don't intent keeping the fork alive forever 😉

[ailton-moreira]

I have the same issue. If any one found working solution can pls share.

[brianinator]

Since I only depended on Android notifications from this module I decided to migrate to react-native-firebase and it was a smooth transition for me.

[suresh-jbt]

Resolve by doing this :

android/app/build.gradle

    implementation 'com.google.firebase:firebase-core:16.0.3'
    implementation 'com.google.firebase:firebase-messaging:17.6.0'

android/gradle.properties At the bottom of file

firebaseCoreVersion=16.0.3
firebaseMessagingVersion=17.6.0

NOTE: No need to change the version of the library or in node_modules code Just need to update global config using your project gradle.properties file

Cheers guys....

[devdany]

@ravishankar3961 i resolve the problem about build. but. push_notificatioin is not work.

before fix, it worked.

the way get token, is it right?

import FCM from 'react-native-fcm';
const fmc_token = await FCM.getFCMToken().then(token => token);

[digitalh2o2]

@YourBoB method worked perfectly as well as changing my compiledSdkVersion and targetSdkVersion to 28 in build.gradle(not app one) file. iOS notifications worked fine and since Android is at Oreo i needed to add channel: default to the payload for the notifications to work.

[anastely]

@digitalh2o2 hey, i can get the Fcm Token but when sending the notification to my app i didn't see any notify but in Firebase i see it's done and sent!

- I think issue with this file AndroidManifest.xml

FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

• What went wrong: Execution failed for task ':app:processDebugResources'.

  Android resource linking failed

[digitalh2o2]

What version are you on @anastely ? I set mine to 16.1.0 and classpath 'com.google.gms:google-services:4.1.0 in my build.gradle file. Also in your build.gradle file make sure to move google() to the top within repositories brackets of buildscript and allprojects

[axdamx]

Since I only depended on Android notifications from this module I decided to migrate to react-native-firebase and it was a smooth transition for me.

can you help me on how to migrate from fcm to react-native-firebase?

[iamcxa]

Resolve by doing this :

android/app/build.gradle

    implementation 'com.google.firebase:firebase-core:16.0.3'

I can confirm that this way works, thanks
