FirebaseUI-Android: Can't use the library (3.1.1) with fresh project & latest tools

Welcome to FirebaseUI and thanks for submitting an issue!

Android OS version: N/A build time issue
FirebaseUI version: 3.1.1

Step 3: Describe the problem:

Cannot build the project when the Firebase auth dependency is added

Steps to reproduce:

Create a new project in AndroidStudio 3.0 using the wizard, this gives you the default build.gradle
add implementation 'com.firebaseui:firebase-ui-auth:3.1.1' to app/build.gradle
This gives the error in the screenshot above

Observed Results:

Error:resource style/Widget.Design.TextInputLayout (aka com.blundell.authtest:style/Widget.Design.TextInputLayout) not found.
Error:failed linking references.
Error:java.util.concurrent.ExecutionException: java.util.concurrent.ExecutionException: com.android.tools.aapt2.Aapt2Exception: AAPT2 error: check logs for details
Error:java.util.concurrent.ExecutionException: com.android.tools.aapt2.Aapt2Exception: AAPT2 error: check logs for details
Error:com.android.tools.aapt2.Aapt2Exception: AAPT2 error: check logs for details
Error:Execution failed for task ':app:processDebugResources'.
> Failed to execute aapt

Expected Results:

The app to build

Relevant Code:

app/build.gradle

apply plugin: 'com.android.application'

android {
  compileSdkVersion 26
  defaultConfig {
      applicationId "com.blundell.authtest"
      minSdkVersion 22
      targetSdkVersion 26
      versionCode 1
      versionName "1.0"
      testInstrumentationRunner "android.support.test.runner.AndroidJUnitRunner"
  }
  buildTypes {
      release {
          minifyEnabled false
          proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
      }
  }
}

dependencies {
  implementation 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:26.1.0'
  implementation 'com.android.support.constraint:constraint-layout:1.0.2'

  // Comment this in to cause the error
  // implementation 'com.firebaseui:firebase-ui-auth:3.1.1'

  testImplementation 'junit:junit:4.12'
  androidTestImplementation 'com.android.support.test:runner:1.0.1'
  androidTestImplementation 'com.android.support.test.espresso:espresso-core:3.0.1'
}

/build.gradle

// Top-level build file where you can add configuration options common to all sub-projects/modules.

buildscript {
    
    repositories {
        google()
        jcenter()
    }
    dependencies {
        classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.0.0'
        

        // NOTE: Do not place your application dependencies here; they belong
        // in the individual module build.gradle files
    }
}

allprojects {
    repositories {
        google()
        jcenter()
    }
}

task clean(type: Delete) {
    delete rootProject.buildDir
}

@samtstern Put a dollar in the “posted staging link on Github” jar! 😆 I also filed an issue, dunno if it’s related: https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/70795896.

@SUPERCILEX We’re also getting an error, but different from the above: error: Error retrieving parent for item: No resource found that matches the given name ‘FirebaseUI.AuthMethodPicker’.

@blundell Really sorry about the messed up dependencies. You’ll have to replace appcompat-v7 with design and upgrade to 27.0.2. Let me know how that goes and if any new errors show up. You might have to add other support lib dependencies too…

SUPERCILEX on Dec 16, 2017

@samtstern I’ve created https://github.com/firebase/FirebaseUI-Android/pull/1061. If you think it’s good, we should probably release a new version of FUI pretty quick so people don’t start getting NoSuchMethodExceptions from the support library.

The problem is that firebase-ui-auth makes use of the new Barrier view that was introduced in constraint-layout 1.1:

https://developer.android.com/reference/android/support/constraint/Barrier.html

However, firebase-ui-auth doesn’t force a transitive dependency on that. So, if you’re using the latest full release of constraint-layout that comes with new projects (1.0.2), you’ll get build errors. To get past the build errors, this can be added to the app:

implementation 'com.android.support.constraint:constraint-layout:1.1.0-beta3'

But I’m not really a big fan of putting beta software in my production app, you know? 😃 @samtstern
