build failed - Cannot add extension with name 'googleServices', as there is an extension already registered with that name. (cordova-plugin-firebasex compatibility)

[Solomakha-Dmytro]

Im install cordova-plugin-appcenter-push@0.5.1, and already have cordova-plugin-firebasex@6.0.7 in my project. And have error when trying to build android apk.

ERROR:

• Where: Script 'C:\software\rep\veo.mobile\projects*appname\platforms\android\cordova-plugin-appcenter-push*appname-AppCenterPush.gradle' line: 14

• What went wrong: A problem occurred evaluating project ':app'.

  Failed to apply plugin [class 'com.google.gms.googleservices.GoogleServicesPlugin'] Cannot add extension with name 'googleServices', as there is an extension already registered with that name.

Now im have the same code in /platforms/android/cordova-plugin-appcenter-push/appname-AppCenterPush.gradle:

buildscript {
    repositories {
        google()
        jcenter()
        mavenLocal()
    }
    dependencies {
        classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.5.1'
        classpath 'com.google.gms:google-services:4.0.1'
    }
}

ext.postBuildExtras = { 
    apply plugin: com.google.gms.googleservices.GoogleServicesPlugin
}

and /platforms/android/cordova-plugin-firebasex/appname-build.gradle:

buildscript {
    repositories {
        google()
        maven {
            url "https://maven.fabric.io/public"
        }
        mavenCentral()
        jcenter()
    }
    dependencies {
        classpath "io.fabric.tools:gradle:1.30.0"
        classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.4.1'
        classpath 'com.google.gms:google-services:4.2.0'
    }
}
repositories {
    mavenCentral()
    maven {
        url "https://maven.google.com"
    }
}

cdvPluginPostBuildExtras.add({
    // Use class instead of id (string) to be able to apply plugin from non-root gradle file
    apply plugin: com.google.gms.googleservices.GoogleServicesPlugin
    apply plugin: com.crashlytics.tools.gradle.CrashlyticsPlugin

    // Enable Crashlytics NDK reporting
    crashlytics {
        enableNdk true
    }
})

Hey! I'll consult with the team we'll see what we can do, but on the first look I can't say for sure if that's something that can be fixed, looks like a valid conflict.

But out of curiosity why would you need 2 plugins that supports same push feature ? Shouldn’t you use only one of them.?

[dannyf620]

you must remove all dependencies that use Google services from the package.json file, run npm install, then install each library again. in my case I had two "Firebase Analytics" and "Firebase crashlytics", with that there is congruence in the version of the packages.
