Different versions of Google Play services cannot be declared depending on the device configuration

Question

When trying to upload my application (aab) to the play store - Im seeing this error, and I cant find anyone talking about it. The error message is translated from Swedish -> English using Google Translate.

The versions used are 0, and 12451000. Its clear to me that the 0 is a mistake, but Ive now spent several days trying to figure out where the 0 is coming from without any success.

Things Ive tried;

• Export the aab using different versions of Android Studio. Ive tried stable, beta & canary.
• Reduce versions of my dependencies to the ones I know have worked in the past.
• Update dependencies, gradle, libraries, etc.
• Invalidate caches, reinstall Android Studio, wipe its settings and follow its 'repair IDE' wizard.
• Verify that build.gradle and plugins are written & used correctly.

My usage of the play services is quite broad, I apply them in my app/phone module with an additional line in my plugins block id 'com.google.gms.google-services'. The root build.gradle contains the classpath to com.google.gms:google-services.

My full related dependencies are as follows (declared in TOML);

firebase-gradle = { module = 'com.google.firebase:firebase-crashlytics-gradle', version = '2.8.1' }
firebase-bom = { module = 'com.google.firebase:firebase-bom', version = '29.3.0' }
firebase-crashlytics = { module = 'com.google.firebase:firebase-crashlytics-ktx' }
firebase-auth = { module = 'com.google.firebase:firebase-auth-ktx' }
firebase-database = { module = 'com.google.firebase:firebase-database-ktx' }

google-gradle = { module = 'com.google.gms:google-services', version.ref = 'google-services' }
google-auth = { module = 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-auth', version.ref = 'google-auth' }
google-fitness = { module = 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-fitness', version.ref = 'google-fitness' }

google-services = '4.3.10'
google-auth = '20.1.0'
google-fitness = '21.0.1'

At this point Im looking for any guidance I can get. Are there any additional troubleshooting steps I can take? Have you experienced something similar in the past? Please let me know.

Answer 1

This could be a versioning problem. Try changing the

com.android.application and com.android.library 

versions from 7.3.0-alpha 07 to 7.1.2.

Alternatively, try the remedy below

androidComponents {
    onVariants(selector().all(), {
        def capitalizedVariantName = name.substring(0,1).toUpperCase() + name.substring(1)
afterEvaluate {

tasks.named("map${capitalizedVariantName}SourceSetPaths").configure {
    it.dependsOn("process${capitalizedVariantName}GoogleServices")
  }
}

}) }

The issue has been fixed and closed. Check it here on Issue Tracker The work around could be unnecessary.
