Problem with com.google.gms:google-services:4.1.0

[MacNakrub]

Step 1: Are you in the right place?

Maybe.

Step 2: Describe your environment

• Android device: Emulator
• Android OS version: O
• Google Play Services version: 4.1.0
• Firebase/Play Services SDK version:

    implementation 'com.google.firebase:firebase-core:16.0.3'
    implementation 'com.google.firebase:firebase-auth:16.0.3'
    implementation 'com.google.firebase:firebase-perf:16.1.0'
    implementation 'com.google.firebase:firebase-database:16.0.2'
    implementation 'com.google.firebase:firebase-firestore:17.1.0'
    implementation 'com.google.firebase:firebase-invites:16.0.3'
    implementation 'com.google.firebase:firebase-messaging:17.3.1'

    implementation 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-auth:16.0.0'
    implementation 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-maps:15.0.1'
    implementation 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-vision:15.0.2'

• FirebaseUI version: both 4.1.0 and 4.2.0

   implementation "com.firebaseui:firebase-ui-auth:4.2.0"
   implementation "com.firebaseui:firebase-ui-storage:4.2.0"

Step 3: Describe the problem:

When change the version of com.google.gms:google-services from 4.0.x to 4.1.0

Steps to reproduce:

1. Start app with google-services version 4.0.2. It's working fine.
2. Change google-services version 4.1.0, sync and run
3. Crash
4. Adding FirebaseApp.initializeApp(applicationContext) won't help

Observed Results:

        at com.android.internal.os.ZygoteInit.main(ZygoteInit.java:807) 

Expected Results:

App won't crash and start normally

Relevant Code:

class MainApplication : Application() {
override fun onCreate() {
      super.onCreate()
     ...

     // Adding `FirebaseApp.initializeApp(applicationContext)` here won't help
      val settings = FirebaseFirestoreSettings.Builder()
              .setTimestampsInSnapshotsEnabled(true)
              .build()
      val firestore = FirebaseFirestore.getInstance()
      firestore.firestoreSettings = settings
  }
}

@MacNakrub there is a known issue where google-services 4.1.0 does not work with the latest versions of the Android Gradle Plugin (mostly 3.3.0-alpha0x). We are working on it!

Going to close this issue, we're tracking it elsewhere.

[AndroidGecko]

@samedson could you ref issue where this is being tracked, thanks!

[samtstern]

@AndroidGecko it's being tracked internally, so if I gave you a link it wouldn't work for you ... sorry for the lack of transparency

[kanetik]

Can we get some indication of when we might see this fixed? Days, weeks, months?

[eygraber]

Now that 3.3 is in beta, can we get some more information about this? Very difficult to test out the alphas and betas (as the AS team suggests frequently) if Google's own tools don't work with them.

[samtstern]

Sorry I don't have a timeline yet, please keep using google-services:4.0.1 for now

[johncodeos]

This thing haven't been fixed yet?
I want to update to 3.3 beta 3 because they have fixed the problem with the sound when you have open the emulator and you use bluetooth headphones.

[samtstern]

Have you tried version 4.2.0 of the google-services plugin?

[plastiv]

@samtstern Where release notes could be found for 4.2.0?

Is it possible to add link to a changelog page here? https://developers.google.com/android/guides/google-services-plugin

[kungufli]

com.google.gms:google-services:4.2.0 works as expected, thanks.

Seeing the same for 4.1.0.

[anton-klimov]

The same issue for 4.1.0 and 4.2.0. It worked today. But now it isn't. I can't download any version
