I couldn't figure out how to label this issue, so I've labeled it for a human to triage. Hang tight.

Hi @hram, thanks for reaching out to us. I'm not experiencing the same behavior with the steps you've provided. I added @AddTrace to my application class, but there seems to be no issue.

Relevant code:

class MainApplication: Application() {
    @AddTrace(name = "onCreateTrace", enabled = true /* optional */)
    override fun onCreate() {
        FirebaseApp.initializeApp(this)
        super.onCreate()
    }
}

Dependencies:

  implementation platform('com.google.firebase:firebase-bom:31.2.2')
  implementation 'com.google.firebase:firebase-analytics-ktx'
  implementation 'com.google.firebase:firebase-perf-ktx'

Manifest:

    <application
        android:icon="@mipmap/ic_launcher"
        android:label="@string/app_name"
        ...
        android:name=".MainApplication"
        tools:targetApi="31">

Am I missing anything?

Hey @hram. We need more information to resolve this issue but there hasn't been an update in 5 weekdays. I'm marking the issue as stale and if there are no new updates in the next 5 days I will close it automatically.

If you have more information that will help us get to the bottom of this, just add a comment!

@argzdev I believe the app has to startup a separate process where onCreate is called again. It seems Firebase now fails to initialize on non main processes.

<service
  android:name="com.company.NewProcess"
  android:process=":NewProcess" />

Starting this service would result in a crash.

argzdev · 2023-03-01T18:15:58Z

Hi @tevjef, thanks for the insight. I'm not sure if I'm doing something wrong, but I still can't replicate the same behavior even with the service.

AndroidManifest:

<application
...
        <service
            android:name=".RandomService"
            android:process=":NewProcess" />
</application>

Random Service code:

class RandomService: Service() {
override fun onBind(p0: Intent?): IBinder? = null

    @AddTrace(name = "onCreateServiceTrace", enabled = true)
    override fun onCreate() {
        super.onCreate()
        Log.d(TAG, "onCreate: ")
        FirebaseApp.initializeApp(this)
    }

    @RequiresApi(Build.VERSION_CODES.O)
    override fun onStartCommand(intent: Intent?, flags: Int, startId: Int): Int {
        super.onStartCommand(intent, flags, startId)
        Log.d(TAG, "onStartCommand: ")
        return START_STICKY
    }

    override fun onDestroy() {
        super.onDestroy()
        stopForeground(STOP_FOREGROUND_REMOVE)
        stopSelf()
        Log.d(TAG, "Random Service is being killed")
    }
}

MainActivity:

    fun startRandomService(view: View) {
        Intent(this, RandomService::class.java).also { intent ->
            startService(intent)
        }
    }

    fun endRandomService(view: View) {
        Intent(this, RandomService::class.java).also { intent ->
            stopService(intent)
        }
    }

@argzdev why do you call FirebaseApp.initializeApp(this) before super.onCreate()?
what happens if you put FirebaseApp.initializeApp(this) after super.onCreate()?

argzdev · 2023-03-01T19:32:54Z

Hi @hram, I tried it with both scenario (before or after onCreate()), but still unable to reproduce this behavior. I'm not sure what I'm missing here. That said, any chance you could share us a minimal reproducible example so I can investigate this further? Thanks!

Hi all, sorry for the radio silence. Our engineers are currently working on other issues at the moment. However, rest assured that this will be worked on as soon as possible. That said, I'd like to ask for help to kindly give an emoji thumbs up on the original author's post for tracking. This'll help us prioritize issues based on severity and demand. Thanks!

We also facing this issue when start a service in new process. The crash still happing in firebase BoM version com.google.firebase:firebase-bom:31.3.0. After investigating, the crash only happened if we used Firebase Perf in our app. We need to upgrade firebase-BoM because of this warning:

SunnyBe · 2024-02-26T11:34:35Z

Hi @visumickey and @argzdev do we have any update on the fix.
I am still experiencing this issue and I tried the recommended fixes above and nothing works for me(unless downgrading dependencies, which is not what we want to do at the moment).

vellrya · 2024-03-04T13:30:28Z

The original problem was related to the :Metrica process (it is an analytics service of Yandex, the largest advertising provider in the CIS). In new versions of the library, the process has been renamed to :AppMetrica
The problem can be solved as follows:

class App : Application() {
    var mainProcess = false
    var metricaProcess = false
  
    override fun onCreate() {
        val processName = ProcessUtil.getProcessName(this)
        mainProcess = processName==packageName
        metricaProcess = processName.contains(":AppMetrica") || processName.contains(":Metrica")

        if (!metricaProcess) { // you do not need to initialise anything manually inside the Metrica process
            if (!mainProcess) {
                // if you created the service yourself in a separate process (via android:process=":Something"), you should manually initialise Firebase in that process.
                FirebaseApp.initializeApp(this)
            }
            
             // put old onCreate code here, e.g:
             // FirebaseCrashlytics.getInstance().setUserId("someId")
             // if (mainProcess) MobileAds.initialize(this) { } // you probably don't want ads in the background process
             // ...
             
        }
        super.onCreate()
    }
}

ProcessUtil.java:
https://gist.github.com/vellrya/6ab5d915f1002a8e1ae3205ba715f0d7

This method works with the newest versions of libraries, there is no need to downgrade dependency versions.

mnk98 · 2024-03-15T13:47:50Z

Yes, i just updated com.google.gms:google-services from 4.3.15 to 4.4.1 and it's started crashing for me for above issue. Added initialization in Activity as well as in APplication file, still crashes for me.
Line where it's breaking for above error, even i tried to initialize FirebaseApp before i am using that, still not fixed
FirebaseAuth.getInstance().currentUser

HasanAlyazidi · 2024-03-21T12:58:13Z

I have tested the following versions of com.google.gms:google-services:
4.3.15: working ✅
4.4.0: not working ❌
4.4.1: not working ❌

Firebase (Flutter) versions:

firebase_core: ^2.27.1
firebase_auth: ^4.17.9
firebase_messaging: ^14.7.20

b150132 · 2024-04-26T03:44:23Z

Hi, any progress on this issue? com.google.gms:google-services 4.4.1: not working

ltrempe · 2024-04-29T18:14:14Z

I had this same issue due to an Activity being designated to a separate process. Downgrading versions did not work for me. However, manually initializing Firebase as outlined in #4599 resolved the issue.

Disable the FirebaseInitProvider in the AndroidManifest
Manually initialize Firebase in your Application via FirebaseApp.initializeApp(this, builder.build())

Unfortunately manually initializing Firebase apparently breaks _app_start tracing with BOM version 32.2.0 or later.

Same here, upgrading to "com.google.gms:google-services:4.4.2" breaks my app. I will stay with "com.google.gms:google-services:4.3.10" until it gets resolved

Same for me

it seems that it could be due to some refactoring: google/play-services-plugins#269
News: https://github.com/google/play-services-plugins/tree/main/google-services-plugin#new-in-version-440

Place the google-services.json file for your project in the app/ directory.
Alternatively, you can use variant specific source-sets, for example: debug/google-services.json.

This did trigger the error Default FirebaseApp is not initialized in this process

Any progress on this issue? Even I am facing it after upgrading Firebase BoM to 33.2.0

pratik-pattanaik · 2024-09-15T11:56:12Z

Here's what the Javadoc from the FIrebaseApp.java class says :-

"Any FirebaseApp initialization must occur only in the main process of the app. Use of Firebase in processes other than the main process is not supported and will likely cause problems related to resource contention."

So, going by the maintainers' recommendation, we're not supposed to initialize Firebase in non-main processes. I did initalize Firebase in a non-main process in the Application onCreate() and it did stop the crash, but I'm not sticking to this solution because it may have side effects that may only be realized in production.

ltrempe · 2024-09-15T16:02:37Z

If an exception is going to be thrown then we should be allowed to catch it. At the very least this should be failing gracefully. Analytics should not be crashing apps in production.

EpariNigam · 2024-09-16T12:15:31Z

Hi @visumickey and @argzdev do we have any update on the fix.
