Android Question Manifest parsing error when connecting to Firebase

[Darsiar]

When strictly following instructions:

1. The first step is to follow the Firebase integration tutorial:

Integrating Firebase Services

Google has acquired a company named Firebase and is now offering many backend services under the Firebase umbrella. Most of them are free. Integrating the services is relatively simple. 1. Use B4A Sdk Manager tool to install all recommended items. 2. Register with Firebase and create a new...

an error occurs:

Code compilation. Error
Manifest script parsing error:
Error parsing google-services.json:
Manifest script parsing error:
Error parsing json file. Make sure the package name is correct.

The only thing that we can say is that the package name in the Firebase json file doesn't match the app package name. Make sure to use lower case package name.

Here is the solution.
I too faced similar error once.

The "package_name": "b4a.example", in the .json file (say)

should match the package name in build configuration (ctrl+B ) of B4A, see image

Change in .json file and it will work.

AnandGupta!
Thanks a lot, it helped!
But now another error has occurred - the object
Private fm As FirebaseMessaging
in the FCM_Show application is not initialized, and then the program crashes immediately after launch

Any thoughts?
------------------------
Sub Service_Create
fm.Initialize("fm") <---- not initialized
MyFCMToken=fm.Token

Hi Darsiar

Please upload the project you have made changes too, as it should work.
Use File > Export as zip menu option in B4A

Error in line 23 from servise module FirebaseMessaging

 

[Erel]

It is wrong. Follow the instructions: Integrating Firebase Services

Dear Erel!
Sorry, but we still couldn’t understand why in the FCM_Show example, which we just renamed, an error occurred while initializing the firebase object on line 23.
More precisely, an error does not occur there. Just after initialization, the object is empty (not initialized).
We strictly requested your instructions:
1. Registered the project in firebase
2. Changed the name of the application from FCM_Show to our chat.proba
3. uploaded the google-services.json file to the application root folder, next to the B4a file
We did not change anything else in this example.

The example is copied WITHOUT ERRORS, installed on the device, an input line appears. But in the debugger we see how the firebase object after initialization is QUIET without initialization without errors.

Please indicate what we missed in your instructions?
Sorry, but the instructions do not have such a case for such a situation.

What do i need to understand there?
Thank.

 

[Darsiar]

The latest version of the project with a new json file.
Actually, this is your example without change. Change only the key and project name

 

[Darsiar]

Sub Service_Create
fm.Initialize("fm") <--------------- not initialize !!!!
MyFCMToken=fm.Token <-------- ERROR: fm not initialize
Log (MyFCMToken)
Subscribe
ImHere.Initialize("ImHere",10000)
ImHere.Enabled=True
ChatsMap.Initialize

1. Please use [code]code here...[/code] tags when posting code.
2. Do you still get the manifest parsing error? If not then start a new thread and make sure to include all information including the error message.
