How can I add Firebase Performance Monitoring to a project?

[chokokatana]

When I follow the instructions to add Firebase Performance Monitoring I start getting compilation problems due to duplicated classes related to protobuf:

> A failure occurred while executing com.android.build.gradle.internal.tasks.CheckDuplicatesRunnable
   > Duplicate class com.google.api.Advice found in modules jetified-proto-google-common-protos-1.17.0 (com.google.api.grpc:proto-google-common-protos:1.17.0) and jetified-protolite-well-known-types-18.0.0-runtime (com.google.firebase:protolite-well-known-types:18.0.0)
     Duplicate class com.google.api.Advice$1 found in modules jetified-proto-google-common-protos-1.17.0 (com.google.api.grpc:proto-google-common-protos:1.17.0) and jetified-protolite-well-known-types-18.0.0-runtime (com.google.firebase:protolite-well-known-types:18.0.0)
…

If I try to exclude the duplicate libraries from performance like this, then the app crashes as soon as it runs:

    implementation('com.google.firebase:firebase-perf-ktx') {
        // https://stackoverflow.com/a/64226363/172690
        exclude module: 'protolite-well-known-types'
        exclude module: 'protobuf-javalite'
        exclude module: 'protobuf-java'
        exclude module: 'protobuf-java-util'
    }

I've found out I'm able to compile with the following block though:

    implementation("com.trustwallet:wallet-core:2.6.3") {
        exclude module: 'protobuf-java'
        exclude module: 'proto-google-common-protos'
    }

Now this throws some warnings during compilation, like

Missing class com.google.protobuf.AbstractMessage$Builder (referenced from: com.google.protobuf.AbstractMessage$Builder wallet.core.jni.proto.Aeternity$SigningInput$Builder.clear() and 1825 other contexts)

…but it seems to work so far from what I've tested.

Is this the correct way to fix the problem? What do I do if I use something from that library that crashes at runtime?

Hi, thank you for the information! Could you please try to exclude only protobuf-javalite from Firebase library, like this:

implementation("com.google.firebase:firebase-perf-ktx:20.1.0") {
    exclude("com.google.protobuf", "protobuf-javalite")
}

That's not enough to prevent conflicts during build:

Duplicate class com.google.api.Advice found in modules jetified-proto-google-common-protos-1.17.0 (com.google.api.grpc:proto-google-common-protos:1.17.0) and jetified-protolite-well-known-types-18.0.0-runtime (com.google.firebase:protolite-well-known-types:18.0.0)

@chokokatana
And did you try latest version of Wallet-Core? Now it's 2.9.8

[chokokatana]

No difference regarding duplicate classes.

It looks like if you don't use the method in the warning, should be fine? Builder.clear() etc, besides that, will try to check if we can use lite version again

@chokokatana
I just created a sample project and added dependencies like this and it worked for me. It runs without exceptions. Could you check if it works for you? I guess that the first time you exclude more modules than needed

implementation("com.trustwallet:wallet-core:2.9.8")
implementation("com.google.firebase:firebase-perf:20.1.0") {
    exclude("com.google.firebase", "protolite-well-known-types")
    exclude("com.google.protobuf", "protobuf-javalite")
}

Should be fixed, latest wallet core build also uses protobuf-javalite
