Firebase API initialization failure when using analytics with other firebase modules.

[RavindraChherke]

Hi @hansemannn ,

I am using Firebase core, cloud messaging, auth modules in project. This is working great. Thanks for all these great modules 👍🏼😀. Now I am trying to add Analytics in app. When I add my mobilesdk_app_id key in strings.xml file I start to get errors. I am using google-services.json file.

I checked by putting keys APIKey, projectID, storageBucket, applicationID,databaseURL, GCMSenderID in configuration but it is still throwing error.

Could you please help me with this.

<string name="google_app_id">mobilesdk_app_id</string>

Thanks!!

I'm getting this error too. Did you manage to solve it @RavindraChherke ?

[hansemannn]

Which module versions do you use? And which Ti.PlayServices? @fahad86 is our new Firebase pro in regards to latest Play Services!

[Wingee]

I've just updated the core to 4.0.0 @hansemannn and that sorted the app crashing. I just noticed your PR 35 on this module. I'm guessing that should solve this problem...

[hansemannn]

Fixed with latest versions.
