react-native-firebase dependency issue in android setup

Question

I am getting the following error after installing and configuring the react-native-firebase library.

PS. App path is dummy

Task :app:compileDebugJavaWithJavac root\android\MainApplication.java:14: error: package io.invertase.firebase does not exi st import io.invertase.firebase.RNFirebasePackage;

root\android\MainApplication.java:29: error: cannot find symbol new RNFirebasePackage(), ^ symbol: class RNFirebasePackage not found

Try react native link with the firebase. Also change the packagge version from thr gradle files — Madhur, May 24 '18 at 12:39
Try to follow the steps manually by adding importing RNFirebasePackage() to the android files and the reset cache, this should work — Madhur, May 28 '18 at 05:50

Sometimes React native not able to load the recent installed module, You need to Reset the cache and restart the npm module for enabling the modules in react-native ---> node_modules folder

Follow command

react-native start --reset-cache

And made the bundle file again follow command:

react-native bundle --platform android --dev false --entry-file index.js --bundle-output android/app/src/main/assets/index.android.bundle --assets-dest android/app/src/main/res

Then restart the command it will work

react-native run-android

Make sure you have import this module properly in component file.

Edit MainApplication.java file as follows:

Import this line

 import io.invertase.firebase.app.ReactNativeFirebaseAppPackage;

Add ReactNativeFirebaseAppPackage() in package list

   @Override
 protected List<ReactPackage> getPackages() {
   List<ReactPackage> packages = new PackageList(this).getPackages();
   packages.add(new ModuleRegistryAdapter(mModuleRegistryProvider));
   packages.add(new ReactNativeFirebaseAppPackage());  // Add This line 
   return packages;
 }

This will solve your issue definitely.
