Dependency failing using cleverpush_flutter & firebase_analytics

[markusrothenbacher]

In my Flutter project, I am using firebase_analytics: ^11.3.0 for tracking.
Now I want to add push notification and added cleverpush_flutter: ^1.23.32 to my pubspec.yaml
When I now try to build and run it on my Android Phone, I get the following compile error:

FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

* What went wrong:
Execution failed for task ':app:processTwDevDebugResources'.
> In project 'app' a resolved Google Play services library dependency depends on another at an exact version (e.g. "[10.2.

I tried downgrading firebase_analytics. The lowest which would compile was firebase_analytics: 10.0.1 which is 22 months old. But even then "firebase-messaging" was much newer compared to what "com.cleverpush:cleverpush:1.34.1" expected:

Hi @markusrothenbacher thanks for bringing this up. This is indeed

Did you try adding the following line at the bottom of app/build.gradle:

googleServices { disableVersionCheck = true }

(see https://developers.cleverpush.com/docs/sdks/flutter/troubleshooting)

Hi @gbhrdt,
yes it worked, but I have two comments about this:

1. Why can you not keep your dependencies updated, so I don't have use a hacky workaround like this. This statement may or may not will break my dependencies with other google packages i use in the feature. So now I have to hope that it does not.
2. If that is really your only solution, than I expect maximum comfort from a paid solution provider like you by adding this hack automatically to the build.gradle file on installing the flutter plugin, like for example this open source plugin is able to: flutter_flavorizr: android_build_gradle_processor.dart

Hi @markusrothenbacher I am 100% on the same page here, we should handle the FCM dependency management in a more clean way. I raised an internal ticket for this.

In the future if you have any feature requests like this you can directly submit them to support@cleverpush.com referring to the client you work for :). This helps us a lot in terms of prioritization, since we do not have any information about the client here in GitHub.
