Firebase plugins has a conflict (fcm and analytics)

See original GitHub issue

Installing both cordova-plugin-fcm and cordova-plugin-firebase-analytics result in an error that does not allow building using cordova.

Cannot add task ‘:processDebugGoogleServices’ as a task with that name already exists.

I had a chance to sit down and give this a go myself today. Managed to get the build to compile with minimal changes to the originals!

My steps were:

ionic start blank
cordova platform add android
cordova plugin add cordova-plugin-fcm # stock plugin from npm
# add valid google-services.json
cordova plugin add cordova-plugin-firebase-analytics # stock plugin from npm
cordova build android --device
# compiler shows error as above

I modified dev-build.gradle on cordova-support-google-services so it using google-services:3.0.0 instead of 3.1.0 as suggested above, and then after doing cordova build android --device then it compiles successfully! So you only need to modify cordova-support-google-services and none of the library versions for firebase.

I am also experiencing the same, and also posted this under Issue #51.

When I run: cordova build android I get the following: What went wrong: A problem occurred configuring root project android. Cannot add task :processDebugGoogleServices' as a task with that name already exists.

I am attempting to use Firebase Analytics (cordova-plugin-firebase-analytics) which requires the plugin, Google Services (cordova-support-google-services). I am also using Firebase Cloud Messaging (cordova-plugin-fcm). The cordova-plugin-fcm includes Google Services 3.0.0 and the cordova-support-google-services has Google Services at 3.1.0 creating the conflict.

I am new to using Ionic 3/Angular 4. A fix I had found on a different forum, and implemented, was changing the version in platforms/android/cordova-support-google-services to 3.0.0 from 3.1.0. This was only a temporary fix, and a Sr. Dev on my team said this was terrible and should never be done. Of course, I do not want to do something that is a bad practice, however, what this error informed me of is that if I can get the dependencies at the same version, then the conflict resolves and the project builds.

Any guidance you can offer would be extremely helpful.

Thank you!
