The library com.google.firebase:firebase-iid is being requested by various other libraries at [[17.0.0,17.0.0]], but resolves to 16.2.0

I started to get this error today, yesterday everything worked fine, there was no changes in gradle or firebase version

> The library com.google.firebase:firebase-iid is being requested by > various other libraries at [[17.0.0,17.0.0]], but resolves to 16.2.0. > Disable the plugin and check your dependencies tree using ./gradlew > :app:dependencies.

I saw that yesterday was update in google-services plugin, probably that is causing the problem.

How to fix this problem?

I had the same issue. A quick fix would be to disable the strict version checking that is causing this problem. Add

com.google.gms.googleservices.GoogleServicesPlugin.config.disableVersionCheck = true

at the very bottom of your app build.gradle file.

I had the same issue. I solved it by updating firebase messaging to the latest version(at this time).

implementation 'com.google.firebase:firebase-messaging:17.0.0'

to

implementation 'com.google.firebase:firebase-messaging:17.3.4'

and it is resolved(without side effect)

If you had this problem you might see a lot of posts saying that you can disable this check. I don't like doing that because it hides the problem.

After a while I finally understood it was saying that some library was asking for a version I didn't have. So I added this in the build/app/build.gradle and it built

implementation "com.google.firebase:firebase-iid:17.0.2"

Just use the version it says it resolves to, in your case 16.2.0.

For me disabling version check did not solve the problem. What I did is to exclude firebase-iid module from firebase messaging library and add it separately

implementation ("com.google.firebase:firebase-messaging:17.3.4"){
        exclude group: 'com.google.firebase', module: 'firebase-iid'
    }

implementation 'com.google.firebase:firebase-iid:17.0.3'

I had a similar error with 'com.google.firebase:firebase-iid using these firebase dependencies:

1. implementation 'com.google.firebase:firebase-core:16.0.7'
2. implementation 'com.google.firebase:firebase-messaging:17.3.4'
3. implementation 'com.google.firebase:firebase-database:16.0.6'
4. implementation 'com.crashlytics.sdk.android:crashlytics:2.9.6'
5. implementation 'com.google.firebase:firebase-functions:16.1.3'

after adding

• implementation 'com.google.firebase:firebase-analytics:16.3.0'

it went away.

I got the same error today. I'm using react-native-firebase and react-native-push-notification. Running ./gradlew :app:dependencies I saw that react-native-push-notification was requiring the latest version of com.google.firebase:firebase-messaging, which in turn was requiring com.google.firebase:firebase-iid:[17.0.0], causing the error.

I manually specified an earlier version of firebase-messaging for react-native-push-notification as described here. That fixed the problem for me:

// in android/build.gradle

ext {
    firebaseVersion = '17.1.0' // add this line
    // ...
}

This solved mine. So you can try it out. Add

googleServices { disableVersionCheck = true }

to app\build.gradle

For me it was the build.gradle file in node_modules/@aws-amplify/pushnotification (the same applies for the build.gradle file in react-native-push-notification)

change the version numbers of firebase packages to match what you have in your own app/build.gradle file.

For me that was

compile 'com.google.firebase:firebase-messaging:17.6.0' compile 'com.google.firebase:firebase-core:16.0.8'

• add the latest cordova-android platform (v8.0.0)

ionic cordova platform add android@latest

• add my fork of this plugin

ionic cordova plugin add cordova-plugin-firebasex

• add plugin to enable AndroidX in the project

ionic cordova plugin add cordova-plugin-androidx

• add plugin to patch existing plugin source

ionic cordova plugin add cordova-plugin-androidx-adapter

• build!

ionic cordova build android

It's 100% works

For Android Studio Users Only

I had the same issue. and this is added after apply plugin: 'com.google.gms.google-services' com.google.gms.googleservices.GoogleServicesPlugin.config.disableVersionCheck = true

at the very bottom of your app build.gradle file and my problem was solved

 apply plugin: 'com.google.gms.google-services' 

com.google.gms.googleservices.GoogleServicesPlugin.config.disableVersionCheck = true

While I was setting up FCM android client from Android Studio assistant, and it was somehow only adding some old versions of fcm in my gradle file, I copy pasted exact-latest version from the android developers website itself, Then the error went on its own. Hope this helps someone facing similar issue.

I think I am late here to answer this but maybe this solution will solve someone's problem.

In build.gradle updating com.google.gms:google-services:4.0.0to com.google.gms:google-services:4.3.3 solved my issue.

I had the same issue but I solved it by updating all my firebase dependencies to the latest ones.

// Firebase
    implementation 'com.google.firebase:firebase-core:17.0.1'
    implementation 'com.google.firebase:firebase-auth:18.1.0'
    implementation 'com.google.firebase:firebase-messaging:19.0.1'

    implementation 'com.firebaseui:firebase-ui-firestore:5.0.0'
    implementation 'com.firebaseui:firebase-ui-storage:5.0.0'

    testImplementation 'junit:junit:4.12'
    androidTestImplementation 'androidx.test:runner:1.3.0-alpha01'
    androidTestImplementation 'androidx.test.espresso:espresso-core:3.3.0-alpha01'
    
    

I had a similar issue, but with the error message;

> Dependency failing: com.google.firebase:firebase-messaging:17.0.0 -> > com.google.firebase:firebase-iid@[16.0.0], but fire base-iid version > was 19.0.0.

and resolved it by using the following versions in App-level build.gradle;

// Google Firebase
implementation 'com.google.firebase:firebase-core:17.0.1'
implementation 'com.google.firebase:firebase-messaging:19.0.1'

I got the same issue when integrating 'firebase-analytics'.

Original code:

implementation 'com.google.firebase:firebase-core:16.0.4'
implementation 'com.google.firebase:firebase-analytics:17.0.0'

Solved by code:

implementation 'com.google.firebase:firebase-core:16.0.4 '
implementation 'com.google.firebase:firebase-analytics:16.0.0'

change the 'firebase-analytics' version the same level with 'firebase-core'

The version increase of firebase-messaging is essentially correct, but just in case people see this going forward, I recommend seeing Current Android Release Notes to keep all of your firebase libraries up to date.

The issue is that if you implement one library that requires other Firebase libraries to run, and you add a second with the same dependencies but on later versions, you lose compatibility.

As of present time, Google has gotten much better at not releasing breaking or incompatible versions of new libraries. Use the latest of each and you should be fine.

I updated my firebase messaging version and it solved my problem.

Before

implementation 'com.google.firebase:firebase-messaging:17.6.0'

updated

implementation 'com.google.firebase:firebase-messaging:20.0.1'

If upgrading all the com.google.firebase libraries doesn't fix the issue, try upgrading the google services plugin dependency at com.google.gms:google-services.

I got the same issue. Issue resolved by updating latest firebase-messaging version from https://firebase.google.com/support/release-notes/android

From

implementation 'com.google.firebase:firebase-messaging:19.0.0'

to

implementation 'com.google.firebase:firebase-messaging:19.0.1'

I do not know why build error was occurring all on a sudden. It seems weird but When I updated the firebase-messaging version, issue resolved.
