cordova-plugin-firebase: Failed to apply plugin [class 'com.google.gms.googleservices.GoogleServicesPlugin'] > For input string: "+", again

Even after installing cordova-android-{firebase,support,play-services}-gradle-release, I still get

Failed to apply plugin [class 'com.google.gms.googleservices.GoogleServicesPlugin']
   > For input string: "+"

I notice the following two lines referring to different versions of com.google.gms:google-servcies:

plugins/cordova-plugin-firebase/src/android/build.gradle:6:        classpath 'com.google.gms:google-services:3.1.0'
plugins/cordova-support-google-services/build.gradle:9:        classpath 'com.google.gms:google-services:3.2.0'

Could this 3.1.0 vs. 3.2.0 be the problem, and if so how would one deal with that?

I am also using cordova-plugin-firebase-dynamiclinks, if that is relevant. I notice that there is a version 1.2 of the google services plugin, which references v4.0 of com.google.gms:google-services; is there any point in trying that?

Hi @rtm for fix this problem go to /platforms/android/cordova-support-google-services

In this directory find the file {APP}-build.gradle

Open and comment the next line

apply plugin: com.google.gms.googleservices.GoogleServicesPlugin

Next, re run

ionice cordova run android

I’ve pulled the plug on Cordova and its hot mess of version conflicts between Android, Cordova, Cordova platforms, and Cordova plugins. I wasted far too many hours and days of my life trying to get things to work. I delayed new features because I knew the pain that would be involved. I’m writing PWAs now, and life is sweet. Just say no.

@DualH solution is no good. I implemented it a few weeks ago, thought I was good to go… I just went through many hours of debug not knowing why Google Login wasn’t working anymore. Then I remembered about this. Removed the plugin that was giving errors, removed my fix, rebuilt everything… It works again. Be very careful when implementing this solution.

Hello, why this is close? What is the fix? I still encounter this issue:

` Failed to apply plugin [id ‘com.google.gms.google-services’]

Cannot add extension with name ‘googleServices’, as there is an extension already registered with that name. `

My ionic info:

` cli packages: (/usr/local/lib/node_modules)

@ionic/cli-utils  : 1.19.2
ionic (Ionic CLI) : 3.20.0

global packages:

cordova (Cordova CLI) : 8.0.0

local packages:

@ionic/app-scripts : 3.2.0
Cordova Platforms  : android 7.1.4
Ionic Framework    : ionic-angular 3.9.2

System:

Android SDK Tools : 26.1.1
Node              : v8.11.4
npm               : 5.6.0
OS                : macOS High Sierra
Xcode             : Xcode 10.1 Build version 10B61

Environment Variables:

ANDROID_HOME : /Users/zento/Library/Android/sdk

Misc:

backend : pro

We have to integrate with Jenkins for CI. And as for other the fix from @DualH is resolving the build, but then the plugin won’t works.

What is the resolution for this closed issue please?

Thanks @DualH for the solution ! However, this involves changing a generated file. It will be tricky to implement on a automated build (ex: on Ionic AppFlow or Jenkins). Does someone have a solution suitable for continuous integration ?

fixed it!

@rtm don’t give up on cordova! you can do it!
