Flutter: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: Failed resolution of: Lcom/google/firebase/iid/FirebaseInstanceId

Question

SDK: Flutter

We are using Flutter with Firebase messaging in our app. Along with it, we are using plain_notification_token to get the FCM Token for Android and APNS Token for iOS. Getting this error when upgrading Gradle to 4.2.2.

This is the build.gradle file where after updating the Gradle version to 4.2.2 from 3.x, the issue started coming up in Flutter project. I am able to compile the App but the App crashes at Runtime.

build.gradle

buildscript {
    ext.kotlin_version = '1.5.20'
    repositories {
        google()
        mavenCentral()
    }

    dependencies {
        classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:4.2.2'
        classpath "org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-gradle-plugin:$kotlin_version"
        classpath 'com.google.gms:google-services:4.3.8'
        classpath 'com.google.firebase:firebase-crashlytics-gradle:2.7.1'
        classpath 'com.google.firebase:perf-plugin:1.4.0'
    }
}

allprojects {
    repositories {
        google()
        mavenCentral()
    }
    configurations.all {
        resolutionStrategy {
            forcedModules = [
                    "com.google.android.gms:play-services-vision-common:19.0.2",
            ]
        }
    }
}

rootProject.buildDir = '../build'
subprojects {
    project.buildDir = "${rootProject.buildDir}/${project.name}"
}
subprojects {
    project.evaluationDependsOn(':app')
}

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

Answer 1

Add

 implementation 'com.google.firebase:firebase-iid'

to your Android/app/build.gradle and that should fix the issue.

Answer 2

implementation 'com.google.firebase:firebase-iid'

add this line in build.gradle

worked for me
