Constrain gcm version to 16.1.0

[melissamcdougall]

With the latest firebase/gcm release (https://developers.google.com/android/guides/releases), the latest version (+) now brings in androidx dependencies. react-native won't be ready for androidx until 0.60 so constraint the gcm version to 16.1.0 (the latest pre-androidx version)

Thanks to @benoitdion for this exact fix on react-native-device-info (react-native-device-info/react-native-device-info#693)

Added firebase version too, based on feedback from #1091

I added this change manually in Android studio and can confirm it's working.

For anyone else waiting for this fix, you can add the following to your gradle.properties.

googlePlayServicesVersion=16.1.0
firebaseVersion=17.6.0

Any plans on merging this anytime soon?

[melissamcdougall]

Doesn't look like @zo0r has been merging/working on this project much (or at all) this year, so I expect it might be a while, if at all.

@zo0r @mattimck I have forked and tested and all works well for me...thanks for the fix @mattimck !!!!!! I will monitor this to see when/if it ever makes it tomaster! 👍

@bgerhards It did work for me but with this at the end of build.gradle (Module : app) file

configurations.all {
    resolutionStrategy {
        force 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-gcm:16.1.0'
        force 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-base:16.1.0'
        force 'com.google.firebase:firebase-core:16.0.6'
        force 'com.google.firebase:firebase-messaging:17.6.0'
    }}

and also using this in build.gradle

ext{     
     googlePlayServicesVersion = "16.1.0"
     firebaseVersion = "17.6.0"
}

also change the compilesdkversion to 28

@HarshitMadhav thanks. it worked for me.

Anybody having issues with permissions not being requested anymore?

[HarshitMadhav]

@ch-tactica what do you mean?

[Peretz30]

This fix helped to create a build, but PushNotification.localNotification doesn't work at all. Nothing happens.

[ch-tactica]

I'm having the same issues as @Peretz30, PushNotification.localNotication isn't working. I suspect it has something to do with the fact that I'm no longer getting a prompt for permissions.

[HarshitMadhav]

@Peretz30 and @ch-tactica for me pushnotification.localNotification is working maybe you are missing some metadata or some channel issues might be there. Check your channel and AndroidManifest.xml.

[Peretz30]

@HarshitMadhav you are right, I missed Chanel info in AndroidManifest, thanks to #946 (comment)
@ch-tactica did you have this lines in AndroidManifest?

[HarshitMadhav]

@Peretz30 Glad, I could help. Cheers!

[HarshitMadhav]

@ch-tactica Please follow the link that @Peretz30 has posted! You are missing the channel info in AndroidManifest.xml
