I've checked this answer: https://stackoverflow.com/a/34834772/13519865
It tells us to remove this line
apply plugin: 'com.google.gms.google-services'
Removing the line as asked completes the build, but I can't use Firebase (ofc!), it caused a new error, which tells me to add the line: https://stackoverflow.com/a/40085096/13519865
So, I'm stuck in a loop here. Related code sample added here https://github.com/Cyberavater/A.Reader
This issue started after updating the com.android.tools.build:gradle to version 7.3.0 and was fixed for me after updating the com.google.gms:google-services to version 4.3.14.
According to the new Chipmunk update of Android Studio, if you need to use Google Services, you have to add the following lines of code inside your build.gradle (Project) file:
plugins {
id 'com.android.application' version '7.2.0' apply false
id 'com.android.library' version '7.2.0' apply false
id 'com.google.gms.google-services' version '4.3.10' apply false
}
task clean(type: Delete) {
delete rootProject.buildDir
}
And inside your build.gradle (Module) file, the following plugin IDs:
plugins {
id 'com.android.application'
id 'com.google.gms.google-services'
}
