I checked all the posts speaking about this error:
Execution failed for task ':transformClassesWithJarMergingForDebug'
But none of them match exactly my case here and none of them answered/solved my issue... I'm tired of searching (about 12 hours and haven't find anything...)
I'm using Ionic (last version) to build an app. My first issue was about the SenderID
problem: cannot put it in the init function, but when I removed it, it wasn't working on Android... And when I put it, it said that it is not assignable to PushOptions
, you see the trick.
The actual error that I have is the following:
Execution failed for task ':transformClassesWithJarMergingForDebug'. com.android.build.api.transform.TransformException: java.util.zip.ZipException: duplicate entry: org/apache/cordova/BuildHelper.class
Here what I've done to be here:
So I decided to switch to cordova-plugin-fcm
as I see at different places that it is easy to configure it. Jump through it, generate all the necessary files (google-services.json
etc...) install and run all the TS that the plugin need: no TS errors.
My problem: when I run ionic cordova run android
- or just a build, it's the same - I had multiples issues:
First I had an issue about play-services that is unknown so it will jump through version 9.0.0: I solved it by using cordova-plugin-firebase
instead and cordova-android-play-services-gradle-release
.
Secondly I had this one:
Execution failed for task ':transformClassesWithJarMergingForDebug'. com.android.build.api.transform.TransformException: java.util.zip.ZipException: duplicate entry: org/apache/cordova/PermissionHelper.class
That I resolved using:
cordova plugin rm cordova-plugin-compat --force
cordova plugin add [email protected]
But now, I'm stuck with the "Actual error" and no way to build my app.
Cordova plugins:
cordova-android-play-services-gradle-release 1.1.3 "cordova-android-play-services-gradle-release"
cordova-plugin-app-version 0.1.9 "AppVersion"
cordova-plugin-browsertab 0.2.0 "cordova-plugin-browsertab"
cordova-plugin-compat 1.2.0 "Compat"
cordova-plugin-console 1.0.5 "Console"
cordova-plugin-device 1.1.4 "Device"
cordova-plugin-firebase 0.1.24 "Google Firebase Plugin"
cordova-plugin-multidex 0.1.2 "Cordova Multi Dex"
cordova-plugin-splashscreen 4.0.2 "Splashscreen"
cordova-plugin-statusbar 2.2.1 "StatusBar"
cordova-plugin-whitelist 1.3.1 "Whitelist"
ionic-plugin-keyboard 2.2.1 "Keyboard"
To run your app, all you have to do is enable USB debugging and Developer Mode on your Android device, then run ionic cordova run android --device from the command line. Enabling USB debugging and Developer Mode can vary between devices, but is easy to look up with a Google search.
Apache Cordova is an open source native runtime that allows developers to build native mobile apps with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. Similar to Capacitor, Ionic's own native runtime, Cordova allows developers to access native device features, such as camera, keyboard, and geolocation, using a system of plugins.
Here's what I did to get rid of this problem:
ionic cordova platform remove ios ionic cordova platform remove android
\platforms \plugins
ionic cordova platform add ios ionic cordova platform add android
After that you can re-build the app and it should work
