google play services mismatch with firebase requirement

I added the following dep because I’m still figuring out how to add project wide properties (always causing me more error that I barely understand):

compile(project(':react-native-geolocation-service')) {
        exclude group: 'com.google.android.gms', module: 'play-services-location'
    }
    compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-location:15.0.1'

and I used 15.0.1 because I’m also using firebase messaging which requires me to put this:

implementation "com.google.android.gms:play-services-base:15.0.1"
    implementation "com.google.firebase:firebase-core:16.0.1"
    implementation "com.google.firebase:firebase-messaging:17.1.0"
    implementation 'me.leolin:ShortcutBadger:1.1.21@aar'

in dependencies

and this on the bottom of app level gradle:

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

with that, I’m getting this error:

The library com.google.android.gms:play-services-basement is being requested by various other libraries at [[15.0.1,15.0.1]], but resolves to 11.0.0. Disable the plugin and check your dependencies tree using ./gradlew :app:dependencies.

Do u have any suggestion as to what kind of config that would let ur lib to work with this situation? I’m pretty new with this (managing dependencies manually), so any help would be great 😄

Thanks in advance for trying to solve RN navigator.geolocation issue 😃

No, I meant emulator will not give you the actual location. It’ll always return the same position that you entered. If you want to test your actual current position, you’re gonna need a real device.

@rayj10 Yes i use react-native-firebase, but not with messaging yet. This is part of my build.gradle:

implementation "com.google.android.gms:play-services-base:12.0.1"
implementation "com.google.firebase:firebase-core:12.0.1"
implementation "com.google.firebase:firebase-auth:12.0.1"
implementation "com.google.firebase:firebase-database:12.0.1"
implementation 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-location:12.0.1'
