google-services.json not found error

rajsharmaof · July 6, 2020, 10:02am

I built an app but when I try to build it using expo build:android -t apk it gives me an error,

Could not find google-services.json while looking in [src/nullnull/debug, src/debug/nullnull, src/nullnull, src/debug, src/nullnullDebug]

registerResGeneratingTask is deprecated, use registerGeneratedResFolders(FileCollection)

Could not find google-services.json while looking in [src/nullnull/release, src/release/nullnull, src/nullnull, src/release, src/nullnullRelease]

Even though I dont have any google services.
Here is the diagnostic logs:

Hey @rajsharmaof,

Were you able to get a binary built yet? If not, can you let me know what SDK version your project is running.

Cheers,
Adam

derk-jan · July 6, 2020, 8:36pm

@adamjnav This problem started showing up for me as well in the past few hours.

Could not find google-services.json while looking in [src/nullnull/debug, src/debug/nullnull, src/nullnull, src/debug, src/nullnullDebug]

SDK 38, I have already build ~14 apps using SDK 38, without issue. This is an issue in the build service.

adamjnav · July 6, 2020, 8:42pm

Hmmm. I just built two apks without issue. Can you see if you can replicate this with a freshly created project?

derk-jan · July 6, 2020, 8:56pm

@adamjnav This was a freshly created project (but wíth the google-services.json file linked in app.json). Would you like me to add you to our team so you can see the build logs? Edit: Here is a build ID: 76f5d1b8-cc8a-4ee2-b2b8-ea6fcb39cd5e

I’ve also made sure the files are actually present (the google-services.json).

derk-jan · July 7, 2020, 1:11am

For my sanity, I rebuild an app (so NOT new). This did work. So it only happens for the new app that I had not yet built…

rajsharmaof · July 7, 2020, 2:03am

In my case it was completely my fault. When giving the backgroundColor property into app.json, instead of 6 hex characters I gave just 5. That’s why it was given build errors. Now it is fixed.

rajsharmaof · July 7, 2020, 2:04am

Check your app.json file… Maybe there are some unseen mistakes.

derk-jan · July 7, 2020, 2:16am

So, I just copied the app.json from the build that is working, changed the slug to a completely new slug, re-download google-services.json from firebase, and tried to build it.

Nope.

But given what you said, I’ll just step-for-step redo it from scratch until I find what breaks it

derk-jan · July 7, 2020, 2:33am

It’s actually the google-services.json file that just won’t work. That’s problematic. I’ve compared the “broken” one with the “working” one, and apart from values, they are identical

I went ahead and recreated everything.

Now it works

adamjnav · July 7, 2020, 1:06pm

Hey @rajsharmaof, were you seeing the same google-services.json error as a result of your invalid backgroundColor value as well?

rajsharmaof · July 7, 2020, 1:27pm

I built it successfully… Thanks for asking man.

rajsharmaof · July 7, 2020, 1:28pm

Yeah… Man… It’s same…

rajsharmaof · July 7, 2020, 1:29pm

In my case, I didn’t have any Google services lol😂

adamjnav · July 7, 2020, 1:59pm

For the life of me I can not reproduce this error, if either of you have a minimal reproducible repo I could use that would be great. I’ve tried a new project that hasn’t been built before, with and without a google-services file, with and without an invalid app.json property.

aasprilla · July 8, 2020, 9:27am

Hi everybody!

I’m having the same problem, when I went from SDK 37 to SDK 38, but my error is here.

aasprilla · July 8, 2020, 10:24am

I think my problems started here, because it was the first build after uploading the first version of the app manually to Google Play

MBP-de-ANIBAL-2:Brokerhoods anibalasprilla$ expo build:android
✔ Choose the build type you would like: › app-bundle
Checking if there is a build in progress...

Configuring credentials for aasprilla in project Brokerhoods
✔ Would you like to upload a Keystore or have us generate one for you?
If you don't know what this means, let us generate it! :) › I want to upload my own file

WARNING! In this mode, we won't be able to make sure that your credentials are valid.
Please double check that you're uploading valid files for your app otherwise you may encounter strange errors!

When building for IOS make sure you've created your App ID on the Apple Developer Portal, that your App ID
is in app.json as `bundleIdentifier`, and that the provisioning profile you
upload matches that Team ID and App ID.

✔ Path to the Keystore file. … /Users/anibalasprilla/api-8771518372671769047-141674-fed06d34fc37.json
✔ Keystore password … *************
✔ Key alias … aalteam-android71071301146
✔ Key password … *************
Keystore updated successfully

Thanks in advance!

@aasprilla
Your problem is not related to issues mentioned by others in this topic. You are getting that error because you specified some json file instead of keystore.

aasprilla · July 8, 2020, 4:11pm

Hi @wkozyra,

I’m new to this and making silly mistakes, sorry.

How can I fix it?

Thanks in advance!

wkozyra · July 9, 2020, 6:38am

That depends

if you have keystore somwhere, just specify it by running expo build:android -c and passing all values manually
if you don’t have one, run expo build:android -c → wait for the build end → run expo fetch:android:upload-cert → send pem file generated by last command to google support to reset your password

If you have any question about that, please create a separate post
