Android Question Firebase - Parse Error

[Randori]

Parse Error: There is a problem parsing the package.

I am getting this when add the Firebase modifications to the manifest editor. I have read the other threads on this to no avail. This error occurs on the device and the app does not install using the debug B4A Bridge.

Without seeing your manifestcode we hardly cant help...

Does the error go away if you remove the Firebase snippets?

 

[Randori]

Yes, the error only happens with the firebase snippets in the manifest. Specifically it happens with the firebase "base" snippet.

 

[Erel]

Which device are you using?

You will need to connect in USB debug mode instead of B4A-Bridge. It will give more information about the error.

 

[Randori]

OK...so sorry for the long delay on getting back to this. I have attempted with USB debugging:

[Randori]

I believe I figured it out...the Package Name was not working with what I initially had (2 segmented name)...changed it to a 3 segment name and it worked.

 

[Smee]

I have exactly the same error. If I take out the Base section then the program will install but it will not run. I am using the latest v of b4A and the latest Bridge. This is the error log after removing the snippet. I tried changing the name as per Randori but that gave me an error. Also I cannot find how to run debug in Legacy mode, has this been removed

I should add that the manifest code has just been copied and pasted from the firebase tutorial

 

[Smee]

solved
I created a new app in Firebase with 3 names and then renamed my program, it then worked. This may well be worth noting in the firebase tutorials that the package name should have a 3 segment name
