android - Could not determine the dependencies of task ':firebase_core:compileDebugAidl'

Question

I'm using flutter to build an app for IOS and Android. Just added Firebase_Auth functionality which works perfectly on IOS. However, when I try to run the app on an Android emulator I get the following error:

FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

* What went wrong:
Could not determine the dependencies of task ':firebase_core:compileDebugAidl'.
> Could not resolve all task dependencies for configuration ':firebase_core:debugCompileClasspath'.
   > Could not find com.google.firebase:firebase-common:.
     Required by:
         project :firebase_core

* Try:
Run with --stacktrace option to get the stack trace. Run with --info or --debug option to get more log output. Run with --scan to get full insights.

* Get more help at https://help.gradle.org

Answer 1

This GitHub Issue showed the solution.

Updating the Firebase SDK in android/app/build.gradle worked for me:

rootProject.ext {
  set('FlutterFire', [
    FirebaseSDKVersion: '26.3.0'
  ])
}
