Could not find com.google.firebase:firebase-analytics-ktx:. Required by: project :app

Question

I followed the steps in registering my mobile application in firestore but when I try running the code I get the following error. I have downloaded the google services.json from firestore while registering my app and added it to android/app level of my project. Also I have added 'com.google.firebase:firebase-analytics-ktx' in my android/app/build gradle file

FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

* What went wrong:
Could not determine the dependencies of task ':app:compileDebugJavaWithJavac'.
> Could not resolve all task dependencies for configuration ':app:debugCompileClasspath'.
   > Could not find com.google.firebase:firebase-analytics-ktx:.
     Required by:

Does anyone know how to fix this issue? Thank you

Answer 1

try to replace this dep

implementation 'com.google.firebase:firebase-analytics-ktx'

with

implementation 'com.google.firebase:firebase-analytics:17.5.0'

Answer 2

I could only get the firebase BoM working with build.gradle.kts like this:

implementation(platform("com.google.firebase:firebase-bom:28.4.1"))
implementation("com.google.firebase:firebase-analytics-ktx")
implementation("com.google.firebase:firebase-crashlytics-ktx")
