Local Notifications only not compiling on Android

Solution

I tried what @qasim483 said to do, and it worked for me. Here’s the solution that fixed my problem with the addition of simply 2 lines of code (1 in each file)

android/app/build.gradle

android {
   ...
   dependencies {
      ...
      implementation 'com.google.firebase:firebase-messaging:21.1.0'
   }
}

android/build.gradle

buildscript {
   ext {
      ...
      firebaseMessagingVersion = "21.1.0"
   }
}

Bug

So I’ve used react-native-push-notification for probably 3 or 4 years now, local notifications only, with no problem. But for some reason, I can’t compile my project on Android anymore. I’m receiving an error due to firebase it looks like, but I don’t use firebase. I’m not sure - is Firebase a new requirement? I’ve tried some of the steps like adding classpath('com.google.gms:google-services:4.3.3') to build.gradle, but then it gets into making me sign up for Firebase. I just built a release version of my app about a week ago, so I’m not sure why I am suddenly being asked about Firebase. I haven’t added anything from npm and it started crashing. Though today, I did upgrade from I think 7.1.0 to the latest version of react-native-push-notification: 7.2.3, hoping it would work.

Changing the implementation from implementation 'com.google.firebase:firebase-messaging:20.2.4' to

implementation platform('com.google.firebase:firebase-bom:26.8.0')
implementation 'com.google.firebase:firebase-messaging'

inside the plugin build.gradle fixes the problem

[qasim483]

In app build.gradle: implementation ‘com.google.firebase:firebase-messaging:21.1.0’

in android build.gradle: ext { firebaseMessagingVersion = “21.1.0” buildToolsVersion = “29.0.2” minSdkVersion = 24 compileSdkVersion = 29 targetSdkVersion = 29 }

this worked for me.
