amplify-js: React-Native Android build fails

I’m another person coming from an ejected react native app from Expo. I had the errors mentioned by @bernhardt1

All firebase libraries must be either above or below 14.0.0

and

Program type already present: com.google.android.gms.gcm.PendingCallback

Switching all the Google stuff from version 15.0.1 to 12.0.1 did indeed get rid of the first error although I can’t seem to figure out how to resolve that second one, and I’ve tried most of the solutions provided above.

@saadq Check out this awnser: https://github.com/aws-amplify/amplify-js/issues/1858#issuecomment-475604529

Applying this exclude setup did the trick for me:

implementation (project(':@aws-amplify_pushnotification')){
   exclude group: 'com.firebase'
   exclude group: 'com.google.android.gms', module: 'play-services-gcm'
}

Anyone who use Firebase with newer version will face this problem, Firebase version should be updated in Aws-amplify/push_notification to 16 version, no one would use 12 version in the new project.

@erez-guesty did you find a solution for this? None of the above has helped for me.

I’ve been trying to debug this for half the day, bouncing around between errors.

I ejected an expo project to expokit which added a ton of dependencies into the app/build.gradle:

dependencies {
  compile (project(':amazon-cognito-identity-js')) {
    exclude group: "com.google.firebase"
  }
  compile (project(':@aws-amplify_pushnotification')) {
    exclude group: "com.google.firebase"
  }
  implementation fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])

  implementation 'com.android.support:multidex:1.0.1'

  // Our dependencies
  implementation 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:27.1.1'
  implementation ('com.google.firebase:firebase-core:15.0.1')
  implementation ('com.google.firebase:firebase-messaging:15.0.1')

  // Our dependencies from ExpoView
  // DON'T ADD ANYTHING HERE THAT ISN'T IN EXPOVIEW. ONLY COPY THINGS FROM EXPOVIEW TO HERE.
  implementation 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:27.1.1'
  implementation 'com.facebook.android:facebook-android-sdk:4.37.0'
  implementation('com.facebook.android:audience-network-sdk:4.99.0') {
    exclude module: 'play-services-ads'
  }
  compileOnly 'org.glassfish:javax.annotation:3.1.1'
  implementation 'com.jakewharton:butterknife:8.4.0'
  implementation 'de.greenrobot:eventbus:2.4.0'
  implementation 'com.amplitude:android-sdk:2.9.2' // Be careful when upgrading! Upgrading might break experience scoping. Check with Jesse. See Analytics.resetAmplitudeDatabaseHelper
  implementation 'com.squareup.picasso:picasso:2.5.2'
  implementation 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-gcm:15.0.1'
  implementation 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-analytics:15.0.1'
  implementation 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-maps:15.0.1'
  implementation 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-auth:15.0.1'
  implementation 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-location:15.0.1'
  implementation 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-ads:15.0.1'
  annotationProcessor 'com.raizlabs.android:DBFlow-Compiler:2.2.1'
  implementation "com.raizlabs.android:DBFlow-Core:2.2.1"
  implementation "com.raizlabs.android:DBFlow:2.2.1"
  implementation "com.madgag.spongycastle:core:1.53.0.0"
  implementation "com.madgag.spongycastle:prov:1.53.0.0"

I’ve been bouncing around between build errors like : All firebase libraries must be either above or below 14.0.0

I updated the firebase-core/firebase-messaging:12.0.1 -> 15.0.1 to get around that one. Not sure how to debug this one though:

Program type already present: com.google.android.gms.gcm.PendingCallback
Message{kind=ERROR, text=Program type already present: com.google.android.gms.gcm.PendingCallback, sources=[Unknown source file], tool name=Optional.of(D8)}

Anyone figure this out?

@viniciusfont your solution helped me, however, I switched from 12 version to 16 version in the project, excluding firebase did the trick!

Thanks @viniciusfont! Going to try it out soon.

Edit: Your solution worked! Build issues were fixed once I added use that snippet, but I had to use :@aws-amplify/pushnotification' instead of :@aws-amplify_pushnotification'.

I started a fresh project today to figure out when the build errors start occurring. Here’s the setup.

start with this tutorial https://blog.expo.io/how-to-build-cloud-powered-mobile-apps-with-expo-aws-amplify-2fddc898f9a2

• expo init
• install dependencies
• add auth
• add analytics
• expo eject as described here: https://docs.expo.io/versions/latest/expokit/eject current state: at this point the android and ios apps run fine. The amplify libraries are all working as well on both devices (auth, analytics, etc.)
• follow amplify docs to add android push: https://aws-amplify.github.io/docs/js/push-notifications
• npm install @aws-amplify/pushnotification --save
• $ react-native link @aws-amplify/pushnotification current state: here is where the build failure begins. android first complains that All firebase libraries must be either above or below 14.0.0 but other errors occur as well as described in my last post.

It seems to be the push notificaiton library causing problems.
