cannot find symbol import com.google.firebase.iid.FirebaseInstanceIdService error in ionic3

Question

I Have no idea why I am getting this error whenever I try to create my app\'s build.I have tried many solutions but I was unable to solve this.i don\'t know if any plugins

Answer 1

This issue occurs due to major firebase release to support AndroidX

Solution:

1. Remove android platform(I followed this step. but there should be workaround which I might not know) - cordova platform rm android

2. Remove old firebase plugin - cordova plugin rm cordova-plugin-firebase

3. Add new firebase plugin - cordova plugin add cordova-plugin-firebasex

4. Again add platform - cordova platform add android

Now your build will succeed.
