java.util.zip.ZipException: duplicate entry with firebase

Question

I am building an application with firebase but getting the Duplicate class error. I have checked all dependencies, but I'm not able to figure out where did I have two version of firebase libs. Error: Execution failed for task ':app:transformClassesWithJarMergingForDebug'.

com.android.build.api.transform.TransformException: java.util.zip.ZipException: duplicate entry: com/google/firebase/iid/zzb$1.class

    compile 'com.yalantis:ucrop:2.2.0-native'
}

As I always try to solve errors like this by searching duplicate files in Android Studio. When I search class zzb in android studio, I am getting a jar firebase-iid-9.0.0 with all other 10.2.1 firebase classes. I am not able to find out which dependency is injecting this firebase-iid-9.0.0 jar? Any idea?

Solution 1

Try to update buildToolsVersion to 25.0.2

I face same issue today, and I try to use

compile 'com.google.firebase:firebase-core:10.2.1'
compile 'com.google.firebase:firebase-messaging:10.2.1'

clean project and rebuild project
everything is all right

check support library is version 25.3.0 on each module, and make sure all the firebase module is 10.2.1

Solution 2

For me it was dependency issue with version number using with google play services library and firebase library. Use following command to see dependency tree:

gradlew :app:dependencies

Output:

check your library version. here version in left side of -> is requested version and version at right side of -> is picked version by gradle.

So I updated my google play services library version and firebase library version to 11.0.1 in app level build.gradle file.

compile "com.google.android.gms:play-services-location:11.0.1"
compile "com.google.android.gms:play-services-base:11.0.1"
compile "com.google.android.gms:play-services-maps:11.0.1"   
compile 'com.google.firebase:firebase-crash:11.0.1'
compile 'com.google.firebase:firebase-core:11.0.1'

you can see google play services library versions here
