Firebase Messaging on Android suddenly started crashing when message received

Question

Currently using react native, react-native-firebase, and react-native-push-notification. Everything was fine until suddenly today firebase messaging started causing the app

Answer 1

Exact same issue with these versions. And yes they were functional before this "@react-native-firebase/app": "^6.7.1", "@react-native-firebase/messaging": "^6.7.1",

Issue Solved:

1. Go to react-native-push-notification/build.gradle
2. Change def firebaseVersion = safeExtGet('firebaseVersion', '+') to def firebaseVersion = safeExtGet('firebaseVersion', '20.2.1')

It was picking us the version 20.2.2 which is not stable and was causing all kind of weird issues.
