Failed to find byte code for com/google/firebase

I made following upgrades today

  1. Android Studio 3.0 -> 3.1

  2. In build.gradle

    dependencies { classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.0.1' -> 3.1.0 }

  3. In gradle/wrapper/gradle-wrapper.properties

    distributionUrl=https://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-4.5-all.zip -> gradle-4.6-all.zip

And I am now getting following error with my firebase modules (random module at a time when I build)

Failed to find byte code for com/google/firebase/storage/StreamDownloadTask$StreamProcessor

or sometimes

Failed to find byte code for com/google/firebase/database/ChildEventListener

My project implements

dependencies {
    compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-base:11.8.0'
    compile 'com.google.firebase:firebase-core:11.8.0'
    compile 'com.google.firebase:firebase-auth:11.8.0'
    compile 'com.google.firebase:firebase-firestore:11.8.0'
    compile 'com.google.firebase:firebase-invites:11.8.0'
    compile "com.google.firebase:firebase-messaging:11.8.0"
    compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-auth:11.8.0'
    compile fileTree(include: ['*.jar'], dir: 'libs')
    compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:26.1.0'
}
Solution

  • This is addressed in the latest react-native-firebase v4 release candidate, available here: https://github.com/invertase/react-native-firebase/releases/tag/v4.0.0-rc.3

    The fix was ultimately to update the react-native-firebase build.gradle to use compileOnly instead of compile statements.
