IONIC/Cordova - Execution failed for task ':transformClassesWithDexForArmv7Debug [duplicate]

I get the error com.android.dex.DexException: Multiple dex files define Lcom/google/android/gms/internal/zzau; when i run my app

}
How do i fix this? i guess the error occurs because i use google play services in both the module and the app. but the versions are different. is that causing an issue?

I had similar problem and your question helped me solve mine and probably will help you solve yours. Problem is that you have defined:
dependencies {
...
compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-cast:7.5.0'
}
and
dependencies {
...
compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services:7.0.+'
...
}
Since google services 7.5.0, if you're using single modules from play services you can't use whole play services as dependency simultaneously. Solution is to select only those services that you need instead of whole package e.g.:
instead of
dependencies {
...
compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services:7.0.+'
...
}
use
dependencies {
...
compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-maps:7.0.+'
compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-location:7.0.+'
compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-gcm:7.0.+'
...
}
Also I'm not sure but probably it would be good idea to use the same version of google services in both gradle configs.

I had a similar problem after building using phonegap/cordova:
com.android.dex.DexException: Multiple dex files define Lcom/google/android/gms/internal/zzsk;
I fixed it by editing build.gradle(module Android), as I had 2 libraries that should have the exact same version with different version numbers (8.4.0 and 9.2.1 in my case)
dependencies{
....
//make sure are both same version (8.4.0 or 9.2.1 in my case)
compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-gcm:9.2.1'
// this is the one I changed: compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-location:8.4.0'
compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-location:9.2.1' // it was 8.4.0
....
}

Firebase Android SDKs now have independent version numbers, allowing
for more frequent, flexible updates.
Update all your Firebase dependencies to the latest version (as of 2 May 2018):
Firebase Core com.google.firebase:firebase-core:15.0.2
Ads com.google.firebase:firebase-ads:15.0.0
Analytics com.google.firebase:firebase-analytics:15.0.2
App Indexing com.google.firebase:firebase-appindexing:15.0.0
Authentication com.google.firebase:firebase-auth:15.1.0
Cloud Firestore com.google.firebase:firebase-firestore:16.0.0
Cloud Functions com.google.firebase:firebase-functions:15.0.0
Cloud Messaging com.google.firebase:firebase-messaging:15.0.2

I encountered the same issue after manually adding Firebase to my app.
For me the solution was changing:
classpath 'com.google.gms:google-services:3.2.0'
to:
classpath 'com.google.gms:google-services:3.0.0'
in the root-level build.gradle file.

If this is happening with react-native-device-info, you can only change from:
compile(project(':react-native-device-info'))
to
compile(project(':react-native-device-info')) {
exclude group: 'com.google.android.gms'
}
As described here:
https://github.com/rebeccahughes/react-native-device-info/blob/81b0c20fab8a10ccf0341dbd6710d7a5915b06a6/README.md#troubleshooting

Had the same issue while integrating firebase. For my case, it was caused by version mismatch.
on the app gradle, i had:
ext {
PLAY_SERVICES_VERSION = '10.2.0'
}
dependencies {
compile "com.google.android.gms:play-services-maps:$PLAY_SERVICES_VERSION"
compile "com.google.android.gms:play-services-location:$PLAY_SERVICES_VERSION"
compile "com.google.android.gms:play-services-places:$PLAY_SERVICES_VERSION"
compile 'com.google.firebase:firebase-database:10.0.1'
}
the firebase dependancy was added through the integrated firebase plugin in Android studio. When i matched the versions, it worked.

I had this issue recently, the reason was the version difference:
'com.google.firebase:firebase-ads:9.0.6'
'com.google.firebase:firebase-crash:11.0.2'
so make sure you have the same version.

I had the same problem but mine was cause by firebase-ui newest version 2.0.0. So I downgraded to 1.2.0 and added the following line to Project level build.gradle file:
allprojects {
repositories {
jcenter()
// Add the following code
maven {
url 'https://maven.fabric.io/public'
}
}
}

My project is a cordova ionic1 project, I spent a full night and morning to solve this issue, this is what I did beacuse i was having firebase dependencies and google services:
Go to this file :
platforms\android\cordova-plugin-firebase\cordova-plugin-firebase\app-build.gradle
buildscript {
repositories {
mavenCentral()
}
dependencies {
// classpath 'com.google.gms:google-services:3.0.0'
// i changed the above line from 3.0.0 to 3.1.1
classpath 'com.google.gms:google-services:3.1.1'
}
}
repositories {
mavenCentral()
}
dependencies {
compile 'me.leolin:ShortcutBadger:1.1.4#aar'
//compile 'com.google.firebase:firebase-crash:+'
// i changed the above line from + to 11.0.2
compile 'com.google.firebase:firebase-crash:11.0.2'
}
Then Go to this file:
platforms\android\project.properties
Originally i was having this
target=android-26
android.library.reference.1=CordovaLib
cordova.gradle.include.1=cordova-plugin-firebase/app-build.gradle
cordova.system.library.1=com.google.gms:google-services:+
cordova.system.library.2=com.google.firebase:firebase-core:+
cordova.system.library.3=com.google.firebase:firebase-messaging:+
cordova.system.library.4=com.google.firebase:firebase-crash:+
cordova.system.library.5=com.google.firebase:firebase-config:+
cordova.system.library.6=com.android.support:support-v4:24.1.1+
cordova.system.library.7=com.google.android.gms:play-services-auth:11.+
cordova.system.library.8=com.google.android.gms:play-services-identity:11.+
Then i commented out the google services as we need specific dependencies and I also put the versions for firebase and gms to the same version number of 11.0.2
so after my file looks like this
target=android-26
android.library.reference.1=CordovaLib
cordova.gradle.include.1=cordova-plugin-firebase/app-build.gradle
# cordova.system.library.1=com.google.gms:google-services:+
cordova.system.library.2=com.google.firebase:firebase-core:11.0.2
cordova.system.library.3=com.google.firebase:firebase-messaging:11.0.2
cordova.system.library.4=com.google.firebase:firebase-crash:11.0.2
cordova.system.library.5=com.google.firebase:firebase-config:11.0.2
cordova.system.library.6=com.android.support:support-v4:24.1.1+
cordova.system.library.7=com.google.android.gms:play-services-auth:11.0.2
cordova.system.library.8=com.google.android.gms:play-services-identity:11.0.2

If anyone had the same issues as mine, I removed the firebase-core dependency and it worked like a charm.
dependencies{
implementation 'com.google.firebase:firebase-core:15.0.0'
implementation 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-ads:15.0.0'
implementation 'com.google.firebase:firebase-crash:15.0.0'
implementation 'com.google.firebase:firebase-messaging:15.0.0'
}
to
dependencies{
implementation 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-ads:15.0.0'
implementation 'com.google.firebase:firebase-crash:15.0.0'
implementation 'com.google.firebase:firebase-messaging:15.0.0'
}

I was having this issue and none of the solutions worked. What worked for me was adding this plugin
cordova plugin add cordova-android-play-services-gradle-release --save
and then in both /platforms/android/cordova-plugin-fcm/ and /platforms/android/cordova-plugin-open/ replace
apply plugin: com.google.gms.googleservices.GoogleServicesPlugin
with:
ext.postBuildExtras = {
apply plugin: com.google.gms.googleservices.GoogleServicesPlugin
}

If anyone else comes across this issue in Ionic removing and re-adding the platform worked for me:
> ionic cordova rm platform android
> ionic cordova add platform android

For anyone wondering how to fix this for Apache Cordova plugins, I fixed this problem by ensuring all plugin.xml files include the same major and minor version, but latest revision, like this:
<framework src="com.google.firebase:firebase-auth:15.0.+" />
<framework src="com.google.firebase:firebase-messaging:15.0.+" />
When using 15.0.0 above, the com.android.dex.DexException error was raised for some reason. By using + for the revision number (which means, latest), everything worked perfectly with cordova 7.1.0 and cordova-android 6.3.0.
Remember to remove and re-add the android platform after editing plugin.xml from plugins, otherwise your changes won't be applied at all!
Also: Ensure only ONE gradle file is applying this, just in case:
dependencies {
classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:+'
classpath 'com.google.gms:google-services:3.0.0'
}

I was also having this issue, I tried many ways to solve this issue. What worked for me was removing following line from my gradle.
compile 'com.google.firebase:firebase-core:16.0.3'
At first I have both firebase-core and firebase-ml-vision (what I need was only firebase-ml-vision) like following.
compile 'com.google.firebase:firebase-ml-vision:17.0.0'
compile 'com.google.firebase:firebase-core:16.0.3'
After I remove the line I got following warning,
Warning: The app gradle file must have a dependency on
com.google.firebase:firebase-core for Firebase services to work as
intended.
But, according to official docs the core dependency can be absent (https://firebase.google.com/docs/ml-kit/android/detect-faces), so it can be ignored.

Downgrade SDK 23 to 22 issues

I was using SDK 23 but the system of permissions make me come back to the SDK 22, but I'm facing a problem that is quite common here. I visited every link but no one could really help me.
The error that I'm facing is this one:
I have my manifest like this:
And my gradle file is like this:
dependencies {
compile files('ormlite-android-4.49-SNAPSHOT.jar')
compile files('ormlite-core-4.49-SNAPSHOT.jar')
compile files('ormlite-jdbc-4.49-SNAPSHOT.jar')
compile files('signalr-client-sdk.jar')
compile files('signalr-client-sdk-android.jar')
compile project(':viewPageIndicator')
compile project(':netlogiaChartsLib')
compile 'com.google.code.gson:gson:2.2.4'
compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:22.0.0'
compile 'com.android.support:support-v4:22.0.0'
compile 'joda-time:joda-time:2.9.1'
compile 'com.github.alamkanak:android-week-view:1.2.6'
}
I don't know how but android studio keeps calling the SDK 23, although I already deleted from SDK manager and I only have the 22. Why is it giving this error?

Compile time error for setServiceAccount() with FirebaseOptions.Builder()

I was working my Android app for sending push notifications using Firebase cloud messaging. I was setting up my server referring the guide https://firebase.google.com/docs/server/setup#prerequisites.
My project level build.gradle is like :
dependencies {
classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:2.1.0'
classpath 'com.google.gms:google-services:3.0.0'
}
App level build.grade :
dependencies {
compile 'com.firebase:firebase-client-android:2.5.2'
compile 'com.firebase:geofire:1.1.0'
compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-gcm:9.0.0'
compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services:9.0.0'
compile 'com.google.firebase:firebase-messaging:9.0.0'
compile 'com.google.firebase:firebase-server-sdk:[3.0.0,)'
compile 'com.google.firebase:firebase-core:9.0.0'
}
I have created the service account credentials on the console as well but while I am initializing the SDK referring https://firebase.google.com/docs/server/setup#add_the_sdk
FirebaseOptions options = new FirebaseOptions.Builder()
.setServiceAccount
(new FileInputStream("path/to/serviceAccountCredentials.json"))
.setDatabaseUrl("https://databaseName.firebaseio.com/")
.build();
I am getting compile Error:(116, 21) error: cannot find symbol method setServiceAccount(FileInputStream)
I have checked many places but I am unable to find what I am doing wrong. Any help would be highly appreciated.

In your server project you need to use only the dependency:
com.google.firebase:firebase-server-sdk:[3.0.0,) and remove:
compile 'com.firebase:firebase-client-android:2.5.2'
compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-gcm:9.0.0'
compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services:9.0.0'
compile 'com.google.firebase:firebase-messaging:9.0.0'
compile 'com.google.firebase:firebase-core:9.0.0'
The first is a server sdk while the others are client sdk and they will have conflicts if you try to use them together.

You're including a different version of the Firebase Database SDK than what you have for the other Firebase features:
compile 'com.firebase:firebase-client-android:2.5.2'
If you change it to:
compile 'com.google.firebase:firebase-database:9.0.0'
It will work better.
For more information, see the Firebase documentation for Android developers, from where I copied the line above.

Android Gradle 2.0.1 issue [duplicate]

This question already has answers here:
First launch take long time (ClassLoader referenced unknown path)
(5 answers)
Closed 6 years ago.
I'm facing strange issue.
When I used the gradle plugin version 2.0.1 to create my android application, the very first installation taking too much time to open the application (App is running very quickly from next time on wards). And the app screen freezes in black screen for a while when the app just opens after installation.
This is my main gradle dependency block content
dependencies {
classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:2.1.0'
classpath 'com.google.gms:google-services:2.0.0-alpha6'
}
And my app gradle dependancy block is following
dependencies {
// compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])
compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:23.1.1'
compile 'com.android.support:support-v4:23.1.1'
compile 'com.android.support:design:23.1.1'
compile 'com.android.support:recyclerview-v7:+'
compile 'com.android.support:cardview-v7:21.0.+'
compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services:8.4.0'
apply plugin: 'com.google.gms.google-services'
compile 'com.android.support:multidex:1.0.0'
compile 'com.squareup.okhttp:okhttp:2.7.5'
}
How can I resolve this issue?

Try to update your minSDKVersion to 16 and change the gradle version to the latest.

As #janki gadhiya pointed. I found solution.
Please disable the "instant run"
To disable instant run Go to
File > Settings > Build,Execution,Deployment > Instant Run

Build tools update breaks my compile

I updated Android Studio 2.0 Preview from 4 to 5 this morning. If I continue to build with:
dependencies {
classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:2.0.0-alpha3'
}
this will still compile successfully. But if I move up to -alpha5 I get this error:
Error:Execution failed for task ':app:compileReleaseJavaWithJavac'.
java.io.FileNotFoundException: C:....\intermediates\exploded-aar\com.google.android.gms\play-services\8.4.0\jars\classes.jar (The system cannot find the path specified)

From now on, I think Google expects us to not use this:
'com.google.android.gms:play-services:8.4.0'
But rather add the services you need specifically. Find a list of them here
compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-analytics:8.4.0'
compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-appinvite:8.4.0'
compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-maps:8.4.0'
compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-location:8.4.0'
compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-plus:8.4.0'
compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-drive:8.4.0'
Also, you need to apply play service plugin in last line of your application's gradle:
apply plugin: 'com.google.gms.google-services'

I posted a bug here. They came out with a fix very quickly. Now just use alpha6:
dependencies {
classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:2.0.0-alpha6'
}
