🔥 Android build failing: RNFirebaseMessagingService cannot be converted to Context

[nicoburns]

Issue

I'm getting the following error when trying to build our react-native project for android. Initial issue was that libraries were requiring firebase-iid:17.1.2 instead of firebase-iid:17.1.1. However, when updating this version we get the error below. We have not made any code changes to our code which was previously building fine (2 days ago):

 * bundle directly from the development server. Below you can see all the possible configurations
