Compatibility with react-native-firebase `Error: more than one library with package name 'com.google.android.gms.license'`

Hello,

I’m trying to use this library along with react-native-firebase in my project. But when I try to compile, I’m getting the following error:

:react-native-push-notification:processReleaseResources FAILED

FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

* What went wrong:
Execution failed for task ':react-native-push-notification:processReleaseResources'.
> Error: more than one library with package name 'com.google.android.gms.license'

I believe your Android dependency compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-gcm:+' needs to support Gradle versioning, kinda like: https://github.com/rebeccahughes/react-native-device-info/blob/e2c877f461c4181113abb3ff8f6bb8dfe89de0fb/android/build.gradle#L30 so the clients have the option of explicitly setting a version for that dependency.

Other packages seem to be affected as well by this change: https://github.com/rebeccahughes/react-native-device-info/issues/365

Hey mate,

I got same library as yours. I tried your suggestion. Now I could successfully build for Android.

I changed the build.gradle file in ./node_modules/react-native-push-notification/

buildscript {
    repositories {
        jcenter()
    }
    dependencies {
        classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:2.1.3'
    }
}

allprojects {
    repositories {
        jcenter()
    }
}

apply plugin: 'com.android.library'

def DEFAULT_GOOGLE_PLAY_SERVICES_VERSION    = "+"

android {
    compileSdkVersion 23
    buildToolsVersion "23.0.1"

    defaultConfig {
        minSdkVersion 16
        targetSdkVersion 23
        versionCode 1
        versionName "1.0"
        ndk {
            abiFilters "armeabi-v7a", "x86"
        }
    }
    buildTypes {
        release {
            minifyEnabled false
            proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
        }
    }
}

dependencies {
    def googlePlayServicesVersion = project.hasProperty('googlePlayServicesVersion') ? project.googlePlayServicesVersion : DEFAULT_GOOGLE_PLAY_SERVICES_VERSION

    compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])
    testCompile 'junit:junit:4.12'
    compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:23.1.1'
    compile 'com.facebook.react:react-native:+'
    compile "com.google.android.gms:play-services-gcm:$googlePlayServicesVersion" // double quote for merge field
    compile 'me.leolin:ShortcutBadger:1.1.8@aar'
}

And in the main project build.gradle file in ./android/app/

dependencies {
    ...

    def googlePlayServicesVersion = project.googlePlayServicesVersion

    compile(project(':react-native-maps')){
      exclude group: 'com.google.android.gms'
    }
    compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-base:11.8.0'
    compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-maps:11.8.0'
    compile ('com.google.android.gms:play-services-gcm:11.8.0') {
        force = true;
    }
    compile(project(':react-native-device-info')) {
        exclude group: 'com.google.android.gms'
    }
    compile(project(':react-native-push-notification')) {
        exclude group: 'com.google.android.gms'
    }

  ...

}

Also I added the version in gradle.properties file in ./android/

googlePlayServicesVersion=11.8.0

It’s worth adding that switching to a forked version is not necessary to fix this issue (temporarily). I simply added the following to android/build.gradle

allprojects {
    repositories {
        ...
        configurations.all {
            resolutionStrategy {
              force "com.google.android.gms:play-services-gcm:11.8.0"
            }
        }
    }
}

That covers me because I’m only using react-native-push-notification so I only need GCM. If you use other things like maps or firebase you’ll need to add those as well
