Production app crashes on android: [Fatal Exception: java.lang.NoSuchFieldError]

[supmanyu]

I've been getting reports of the app crashing whenever the library is triggered from the react-native side. Attaching the firebase crashlytics error trace below:

Fatal Exception: java.lang.NoSuchFieldError: No field CREDENTIALS_API of type Lcom/google/android/gms/common/api/Api; in class Lcom/google/android/gms/auth/api/Auth; or its superclasses (declaration of 'com.google.android.gms.auth.api.Auth' appears in /data/app/~~P9ZvDb0sekwXPMrz-zK69A==/com.package.name-7N6gBzn7zT2bR5O-36inUg==/base.apk!classes2.dex)

same issue i have get

Just add this line in your app/build.gradle file, and it should work configurations.all { resolutionStrategy.eachDependency { details -> if (details.requested.group == 'com.google.android.gms' && details.requested.name == 'play-services-auth') { details.useVersion '20.7.0' } } }

Basically we are forcing this library to use slightly older version of play-service-auth as v21.0.0 of play-service-auth has introduced some breaking changes https://developers.google.com/android/guides/releases#february_15_2024

When this will be fixed Any ETA please

[supmanyu]

@Nitish33 thanks for the workaround, but its not really a fix as Google might stop accepting builds with older versions of play-services-auth

[mdrajibsk8]

Kindly check the new version(v1.0.9) and do let me know if it fixes the issue. thanks

[supmanyu]

@mdrajibsk8 still crashing for us with the newer play-services-auth versions

[sulaimaan26]

Still the issue occurs

[mdrajibsk8]

Please share your package.json and both build.gradle file so I can have a look into that @supmanyu If you have any problem share the build.gradle file, you can share the screenshot of the play services in both of the files. thanks
