class file for com.google.android.gms.internal.zzbfm not found Firebase and Google maps – Solution

by Posted on

Today, we will share with you the solution for class “zzbfm” not found error while working on Firebase and Google maps.

If you are ever facing an error in android that says:

class file for com.google.android.gms.internal.zzbfm not found

It is most likely when you just integrated Firebase library in your project that is already using maps, location or places.

The solution to this is:

  1. Version number of google maps and Firebase should be same.
  2. Change “implementation fileTree” to “compileOnly fileTree”
  3. Enable multiDex and add multiDex library

app > build.gradle

android {
    compileSdkVersion 28
//    buildToolsVersion "29.0.2"
    defaultConfig {
        applicationId "your.application.id"
        minSdkVersion 22
        targetSdkVersion 28
        versionCode 1
        versionName "1.0"
        multiDexEnabled true // important
        testInstrumentationRunner "android.support.test.runner.AndroidJUnitRunner"
    }
    buildTypes {
        release {
            minifyEnabled false
            proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android-optimize.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
        }
    }
}

dependencies {
//    implementation fileTree(include: ['*.jar'], dir: 'libs')
    compileOnly fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])

    implementation 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-maps:11.8.0'
    implementation 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-location:11.8.0'
    implementation 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-places:11.8.0'

    implementation 'com.google.firebase:firebase-core:11.8.0'
    implementation 'com.google.firebase:firebase-messaging:11.8.0'
    implementation 'com.google.firebase:firebase-database:11.8.0'

    implementation 'com.android.support:multidex:1.0.3'
}
apply plugin: 'com.google.gms.google-services'

build.gradle

buildscript {
    repositories {
        jcenter()
        google()
    }
    dependencies {
        classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.1.2'
        classpath 'com.google.gms:google-services:4.0.1'
    }
}
