Question

I updated play-services dependencies to version 15.0.0 and also added play-services-safetynet to my app.gradle. After that i always get

Program type already present: com.google.android.gms.internal.measurement.zzabo Message{kind=ERROR, text=Program type already present: com.google.android.gms.internal.measurement.zzabo, sources=[Unknown source file], tool name=Optional.of(D8)}

Answer 1

In my case, I had to update Firebase from version 15.0.0 to 15.0.2 in project's build.gradle:

dependencies {
    ...
    implementation "com.google.firebase:firebase-messaging:15.0.2"
    ...
}

And then in app's build.gradle I had to update google-services from 3.1.1 to 3.3.0:

dependencies {
    ...
    classpath 'com.google.gms:google-services:3.3.0'
    ...
}

You can try using the exact version number following this link:

https://firebase.google.com/support/release-notes/android#latest_sdk_versions

SDK Update - May 2, 2018 - Firebase Android SDKs now have independent version numbers, allowing for more frequent, flexible updates.

Answer 3

I faced the same problem today. Google comes with the new release on 02 may 2018.

Please go to the link and set the version no according to the doc:

https://firebase.google.com/support/release-notes/android#20180502

for e.g.

Firebase Core com.google.firebase:firebase-core:15.0.2
