Cannot access zzbfm class file zzbfm not found, firebase, android?

Question

I have integrated play services and firebase in my app. When I run the application I get this error

cannot access zzbfm
class file for com.google.android.gms.internal.zzbfm not found

This my top level gradle

buildscript {

repositories {
    google()
    jcenter()
}
dependencies {
    classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.1.2'


    // NOTE: Do not place your application dependencies here; they belong
    // in the individual module build.gradle files
    classpath 'com.google.gms:google-services:4.0.1'
}
}

allprojects {
repositories {
    google()
    jcenter()
}
tasks.withType(JavaCompile) { options.deprecation = true }
}

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

This is my app level gradle

I am getting the error pointed in my MessageService class pointing when I am trying to get remotemessage conntent

public class FCMMessageService extends FirebaseMessagingService {

@Override
public void onMessageReceived(RemoteMessage message) {
    sendMyNotification(message.getNotification().getBody());
}


private void sendMyNotification(String message) {

    //On click of notification it redirect to this Activity
    Intent intent = new Intent(this, ActivityHome.class);
    intent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TOP);
    PendingIntent pendingIntent = PendingIntent.getActivity(this, 0, intent, PendingIntent.FLAG_ONE_SHOT);

    Uri soundUri = RingtoneManager.getDefaultUri(RingtoneManager.TYPE_NOTIFICATION);
    NotificationCompat.Builder notificationBuilder = new NotificationCompat.Builder(this,"x")
            .setSmallIcon(R.mipmap.ic_launcher)
            .setContentTitle("My Firebase Push notification")
            .setContentText(message)
            .setAutoCancel(true)
            .setSound(soundUri)
            .setContentIntent(pendingIntent);

    NotificationManager notificationManager =
            (NotificationManager) getSystemService(Context.NOTIFICATION_SERVICE);

    notificationManager.notify(0, notificationBuilder.build());
}
}

Have already checked solutions mentioned on other questions, but none of those answers worked.

Any solution?

Answer 1

You can't mix versions <= 12 and versions >= 15 of Firebase libraries.

implementation 'com.google.firebase:firebase-core:16.0.0'
implementation 'com.google.firebase:firebase-auth:11.6.2'
implementation 'com.google.firebase:firebase-messaging:11.8.0'

The easiest fix is to upgrade all of these to version 16 or later:

implementation 'com.google.firebase:firebase-core:16.0.0'
implementation 'com.google.firebase:firebase-auth:16.0.1'
implementation 'com.google.firebase:firebase-messaging:17.0.0'

All of these versions are from the setting up Firebase for Android documentation, so be sure to check there for the latest updates.

Background: In version 12 and lower the versions of all Firebase (and Play Services) libraries in a project had to be exactly the same. In version 15 later, you can mix versions. But there is no way to mix <= 12 and >= 15 libraries in a single project.
