Question

I'm trying to update my google and firebase SDK libraries in my project to solve the problem of install_referrer deprecation but I got errors after sync

ERROR: Failed to resolve: com.google.firebase:firebase-crash:17.2.2

and this error on the merged manifest

ERROR: Manifest merger failed : Attribute application@appComponentFactory value=(android.support.v4.app.CoreComponentFactory) from [com.android.support:support-compat:28.0.0] AndroidManifest.xml:22:18-91
    is also present at [androidx.core:core:1.0.0] AndroidManifest.xml:22:18-86 value=(androidx.core.app.CoreComponentFactory).
    Suggestion: add 'tools:replace="android:appComponentFactory"' to <application> element at AndroidManifest.xml:28:5-422:19 to override.

here is my firebase and google dependency

Answer 1

Use the following dependency:

implementation 'com.google.firebase:firebase-crashlytics:17.0.0-beta01'

And Update your application to use AndroidX:

Upgrade com.android.tools.build:gradle to v3.2.1 or later.

Upgrade compileSdkVersion to 28 or later.

Update your app to use Jetpack (AndroidX); follow the instructions in Migrating to AndroidX.

https://developer.android.com/jetpack/androidx/migrate

Update:

You can now use the following dependency version:

dependencies {
    // Recommended: Add the Firebase SDK for Google Analytics.
    implementation 'com.google.firebase:firebase-analytics:17.5.0'

    // Add the Firebase Crashlytics SDK.
    implementation 'com.google.firebase:firebase-crashlytics:17.2.2'
}

If you are having trouble adding firebase-crashlytics, then check the following documentation:
