Android app not responding after adding apply plugin: 'com.google.gms.google-services'

[salismt]

I want to integrate my app with Firebase SDK in my Android app to use Firebase Remote config It requires me to include apply plugin: 'com.google.gms.google-services' at the bottom of app/build.gradle however when I add it, if I reopen my app a couple times, the app would stop responding what is the plugin do in my app that might cause the app stop responding?

here is my project gradle

buildscript {
    repositories {
        jcenter()
        mavenCentral()
        maven { url 'https://maven.fabric.io/public' }

apply plugin: 'com.google.gms.google-services'

is plugin: 'com.google.gms.google-services' are conflicting with one of these libraries that cause the app freeze? please help

[samtstern]

To my knowledge the google-services plugin should not be doing anything that would change the responsiveness of your application. It has two main features:

1. Convert the google-services.json file into string resources at compile time.
2. Add a dependency on firebase-core when appropriate, but I see you already have that done manually so it would be a no-op.

Given that you have many other dependencies it's hard for me to make a guess at which one is conflicting with google-services. Could you try looking at this documentation about the plugin and seeing if anything stands out to you?

[tungpg]

I just had the same problem with you. Just move back to 2.1.0 version and the problem will be resolved.

classpath 'com.google.gms:google-services:2.1.0'

compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services:8.4.0'

[thesti2]

Hi,

Do you find the solution to this issue? I also experience the same thing.

[ayrtondumas]

change this line in the project build.gadle

classpath 'com.google.gms:google-services:3.0.0' to classpath 'com.google.gms:google-services:2.1.0'

[thesti2]

Hi,

If I change it to version 2.1, then I get this error when building the project: Error:Failed to resolve: com.google.android.gms:play-services-measurement:9.0.2

Beside, based on the following link: https://firebase.google.com/docs/android/setup#add_firebase_to_your_app

it is said to use version 3

[ayrtondumas]

Yes sorry, I do have the same problem... Cannot fix it, even with the sample apps Can you build something now? Le 6 juin 2016 14:37, "thesti2" notifications@github.com a écrit :

[thesti2]

Hi,

I still cannot fix this. This seems to happen if I open and close the application a few times in a short interval. But if I open the application again after a few hours interval, the issue does not raise.

I can still build this since I restore the version to 3. But I haven't uploaded this to production.

[michgauz]

I have exactly the same problem.

[samtstern]

@michgauz @thesti2 @salismt could one of you capture the output of adb logcat while this is happening? It will likely be too large to post here, so please copy into a pastebin or similar if necessary.

[michgauz]

@samtstern That's the point. I throught something in logcat could help me, but nothing special appear. I will post the output

[thesti2]

Hi,

This is the logcat and anr traces file: logcat: http://pastebin.com/3KePSWHe anr traces: http://pastebin.com/C4gYgBg1

[samtstern]

@thesti2 thanks for providing those logs! I will take a look.

[anaszakariyah]

I got the same problem. The app not responding and there is nothing at all in logcat. I am puzzled.

[tungpg]

don't compile bellow line, it includes all of the google services libs. Include only the one you need. I resolve this problem in my app.

compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services:9.0.2'

[anaszakariyah]

So I just have to avoid compile play service:9.0.2? wont it affect the app? will it continue to work? isn't this issue raised because we want to add play service in the first place? or is there alternative?

[tungpg]

I mean that you should compile the play service's child library separately. For example, I want to use the following library then I added then seperately, not the play service one.

// Google Play Services
    compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-location:9.0.2'
    compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-analytics:9.0.2'
    compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-maps:9.0.2'
    compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-ads:9.0.2'
    compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-identity:9.0.2'
    compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-gcm:9.0.2'
    compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-auth:9.0.2'

You can find a full list here: https://developers.google.com/android/guides/setup#add_google_play_services_to_your_project

[samtstern]

@all I am trying to reproduce this issue, I have not been able to replicate it yet.

@tungpg has a very good point about never using compile "com.google.android.gms:play-services:x.y.z" when you can avoid it. This is a more general piece of advice, but going to the "split libraries" method will reduce your APK size, dex method count, and generally result in a better application.

For those of you seeing this issue: are you deploying your app on devices that do not have Google Play Services or distributing your app through channels other than the Play Store?

[aitorMarrero]

I have the same problem, and i need the 3.0 version for use FCM so i cant downgrade to 2.1

[geraldokandonga]

I am also having the same problem with the google play services v9.0.2, any help guys

[kroikie]

@gkfillipus does this issue still occur with 9.2.1?

[geraldokandonga]

@kroikie Yes currently i am even using 9.2.2

[blazsolar]

Moving apply plugin: 'com.google.gms.google-services' at the end of build.gradle file resolved the issue for me as metioned in plugin docs

[sporteman]

Hi, Try update your build .gradle

buildscript {
    repositories {
        jcenter()
}
dependencies {
    classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:2.1.2'
    classpath 'com.google.gms:google-services:3.0.0'
    }
}

[TheCroid]

Solution was to put "apply plugin: 'com.google.gms.google-services'" to the end of the build.gradle and compile 'com.google.firebase:firebase-messaging:9.x.x''" top of dependencies

dependencies { compile fileTree(include: ['*.jar'], dir: 'libs') testCompile 'junit:junit:4.12' compile 'com.google.firebase:firebase-messaging:9.x.x' } apply plugin: 'com.google.gms.google-services'

[Hiyam]

Hello, I am still having this issue know that:

• I have included the google-services.json and added it in the correct place
• classpath 'com.android.gms:google-services:3.1.0'
• compile 'com.google.firebase:firebase-core:11.2.0'
• I have put apply plugin: 'com.google.gms.google-services'

I am getting the following error: Error:Could not find com.android.gms:google-services:3.1.0. Searched in the following locations: file:/C:/Program Files/Android/Android Studio/gradle/m2repository/com/android/gms/google-services/3.1.0/google-services-3.1.0.pom file:/C:/Program Files/Android/Android Studio/gradle/m2repository/com/android/gms/google-services/3.1.0/google-services-3.1.0.jar https://jcenter.bintray.com/com/android/gms/google-services/3.1.0/google-services-3.1.0.pom https://jcenter.bintray.com/com/android/gms/google-services/3.1.0/google-services-3.1.0.jar Required by: project :

please is this issue solved, I need the answer very soon

[geraldokandonga]

Hi @Hiyam

Your error is because you are using this 'com.android.gms:google-services:3.1.0' Instead of this classpath 'com.google.gms:google-services:3.0.0'

Change 'com.android.gms:google-services:3.1.0'

To classpath 'com.google.gms:google-services:3.0.0'

It could solve your problem
