Adding Firebase In-App Messaging dependency gives DexArchiveMergerException

Question

I was testing the Firebase In-App Messaging feature, added the dependency

implementation 'com.google.firebase:firebase-inappmessaging-display:17.0.0'

But android studio throws DexArchiveMergerException. I have multi dexing enabled as shown in the below build.gradle.

Here is my build.gradle(app)

apply plugin: 'com.android.application'
apply plugin: 'kotlin-android'
apply plugin: 'kotlin-android-extensions'
apply plugin: 'com.google.firebase.firebase-perf'

Answer 1

Both firebase-firestore and firebase-inappmessaging-display contain com.google.a.a.a.a.zza that is why you get the following error:

Program type already present: com.google.a.a.a.a.zza

Removing implementation 'com.google.firebase:firebase-firestore:17.1.0' will fix the problem.

Edit:

This has been finally fixed after Firebase did an update

Now you are able to use firestore and In-AppMessaging in the same project
