Execution failed for task ':app:mapDebugSourceSetPaths'. > Error while evaluating property 'extraGeneratedResDir' of task

Question

I've checked this answer: https://stackoverflow.com/a/34834772/13519865

It tells us to remove this line

apply plugin: 'com.google.gms.google-services'

Removing the line as asked completes the build, but I can't use Firebase (ofc!), it caused a new error, which tells me to add the line: https://stackoverflow.com/a/40085096/13519865

So, I'm stuck in a loop here. Related code sample added here https://github.com/Cyberavater/A.Reader

The same issue seems to appear with the latest Android Studio Iguana | 2023.2.1 where you need to specify the Gradle version to be 8.3.2 and Google Services 4.4.1. So here are the working versions:

plugins {
    id 'com.android.application' version '8.3.2' apply false
    id 'com.android.library' version '8.3.2' apply false
}

dependencies {
    classpath 'com.google.gms:google-services:4.4.1'
}

The same issue seems to appear with the latest Android Studio Electric Giraffe 2022.3.1 Patch 3 where you need to specify the Gradle version to be 8.1.3 and Google Services 4.4.0. I have tried to see if the 5.0.0 version works but I got:

Plugin [id: 'com.google.gms.google-services', version: '5.0.0', apply: false] was not found in any of the following sources:

So here are the working versions:

plugins {
    id 'com.android.application' version '8.1.3' apply false
    id 'com.android.library' version '8.1.3' apply false
}

dependencies {
    classpath 'com.google.gms:google-services:4.4.0'
}

The same issue seems to appear with the latest Android Studio Electric Giraffe where you need to specify the Gradle version to be 8.1.0 and Google Services 4.3.15. I have not tested if it's working with 5.0.0.

plugins {
    id 'com.android.application' version '8.1.0' apply false
    id 'com.android.library' version '8.1.0' apply false
}

dependencies {
    classpath 'com.google.gms:google-services:4.3.15'
}

I have seen the same issue with the latest Android Studio Dolphin release, where you need to specify the Gradle version to be 7.3.1 and Google Services 4.3.14.

plugins {
    id 'com.android.application' version '7.3.1' apply false
    id 'com.android.library' version '7.3.1' apply false
}

dependencies {
    classpath 'classpath "com.google.gms:google-services:4.3.14'
}

According to the new Chipmunk update of Android Studio, if you need to use Google Services, you have to add the following lines of code inside your build.gradle (Project) file:

plugins {
    id 'com.android.application' version '7.3.1' apply false
    id 'com.android.library' version '7.3.1' apply false
    id 'com.google.gms.google-services' version '4.3.14' apply false 👈
}

task clean(type: Delete) {
    delete rootProject.buildDir
}

And inside your build.gradle (Module) file, the following plugin IDs:

plugins {
    id 'com.android.application'
    id 'com.google.gms.google-services' 👈
}
