Manifest Merger Failed for using the latest version of Firebase

Question

I tried to use the latest version of Firebase for android in my gradle file. I am trying to build a firebase phone number authentication but I am continuously getting this error, it's because I couldn't find specifically to my issue:

Error:Execution failed for task ':app:processDebugManifest'.
> Manifest merger failed : Attribute meta-data#android.support.VERSION@value value=(26.0.2) from [com.android.support:design:26.0.2] AndroidManifest.xml:28:13-35
is also present at [com.android.support:customtabs:26.0.1] AndroidManifest.xml:25:13-35 value=(26.0.1).
Suggestion: add 'tools:replace="android:value"' to <meta-data> element at AndroidManifest.xml:26:9-28:38 to override.

Here is my app:gradle file

apply plugin: 'com.android.application'

android {
compileSdkVersion 26

    applicationId "com.shimetaapp.shimetacustomerapp"

This is the documentation I used to setup my firebase in my android studio.

Answer 1

Version conflict between support artifact

com.android.support:design:26.0.2 and com.android.support:customtabs:26.0.1

Update your firebase-auth verison, firebase-auth has dependency of customtabs that is lower version of 26.0.1 in your case.

compile 'com.google.firebase:firebase-auth:11.2.0'
compile 'com.google.firebase:firebase-messaging:11.2.0'
compile 'com.google.firebase:firebase-config:11.2.0'
