Android App crashes on OneSignal push notification

Question

I developed a React Native app that crashes every time a push notification from OneSignal is received while the app is active.

The error is java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: No static method zzc.

If I receive the notification when the app is on background, there is no problem.

Here is my build.gradle file:

buildscript {
    ext {
        googlePlayServicesLocationVersion = "17.0.0"
        buildToolsVersion = "28.0.3"
        minSdkVersion = 21
        compileSdkVersion = 28
        targetSdkVersion = 28
        supportLibVersion = "28.0.0"
        appCompatVersion = "1.0.2"
    }
    repositories {
        google()
        jcenter()
    }
    dependencies {
        classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.3.0'
    }
}

allprojects {
    repositories {

        configurations.all {
            resolutionStrategy.eachDependency { DependencyResolveDetails details ->
            def requested = details.requested
           if (requested.group == 'com.google.android.gms') {
              details.useVersion '17.0.0'
           }
           if (requested.group == 'com.google.firebase') {
              details.useVersion '17.0.0'
             }
           }
         }
        google()
        mavenLocal()

        jcenter()
        maven {
            // All of React Native (JS, Obj-C sources, Android binaries) is installed from npm
            url "$rootDir/../node_modules/react-native/android"
        }

        maven {
           url "$rootDir/../node_modules/react-native-background-geolocation/android/libs"
        }

            maven {
                url "$rootDir/../node_modules/react-native-background-fetch/android/libs"
            }
    }
}


task wrapper(type: Wrapper) {
    gradleVersion = '4.10'
    distributionUrl = distributionUrl.replace("bin", "all")
}

And my app/build.gradle file:

apply plugin: "com.android.application"

    entryFile: "index.js"

Do you know where the problem could come from?

Answer 1

This could either happen with if;

1. The OneSignal SDK version is in your app is older than 3.6.0
2. Your using an Android Support Library version older than 26
3. Or if another GCM / FCM BroadcastReceiver in your app is also displaying a notification

According your build script 2 is fine. And you you need to apply the OneSignal gradle plugin in your project.

    buildscript {
    repositories {
        maven { url 'https://plugins.gradle.org/m2/'}
    }
    dependencies {
        classpath 'gradle.plugin.com.onesignal:onesignal-gradle-plugin: [0.10.1, 0.99.99]'
    }
}
apply plugin: 'com.onesignal.androidsdk.onesignal-gradle-plugin'
