[ISSUE?] Default FirebaseApp is not initialized

[JohnPilar]

Whenever I use this library, my app suddenly crashes for no reason, upon further inspection using logcat, I was able to trace this problem:

APP LOGCAT:

Process: com.mobileinterface, PID: 11299

02-23 07:47:25.984 11299 11324 E AndroidRuntime: Caused by: java.lang.IllegalStateException: Default FirebaseApp is not initialized in this process com.mobileinterface. Make sure to call FirebaseApp.initializeApp(Context) first.

02-23 07:47:26.003   525  1130 W ActivityTaskManager:   Force finishing activity com.mobileinterface/.MainActivity

02-23 07:47:26.277   525   576 I WindowManager: WIN DEATH: Window{619918e u0 com.mobileinterface/com.mobileinterface.MainActivity}

I was able to fix this by creating a temporary firebase account and adding the google-services.json file inside android/app folder, BUT, we intend not to use firebase as our notifications service. Any help on how to solve this? Is there any setting that I need to disable? Thanks

I have something similar, I'm using just local notifications, and I didn't add any of Firebase stuff, there is no log about this, I got this log while uploading the app to google console:

Ended up using this library instead. https://github.com/zo0r/react-native-push-notification

If anyone's interested in figuring the problem out, it has something to do with request permissions.

I don't use firebase or google services, but I get this error message when starting my app: By the way, I use locale push notification

Bumping up the google services seemed to have worked for me:

android/build.gradle

dependencies {
  ...
  classpath 'com.google.gms:google-services:4.3.15'
}
