[Bug]: cannot access zzbfm / class file for com.google.android.gms.internal.zzbfm not found - Ionic 6

[seltix5]

What happened?

Incompatible with the background geolocation plugin npm install cordova-background-geolocation-plugin.
Both plugins work when running separatly but when installed at the same time it does not compile.

Steps to reproduce?

( this is using Ionic 6 )

ionic start TEST --type angular --package-id=com.test.app blank
cd TEST

ionic cap add android


npm install cordova-background-geolocation-plugin

// apply this fix required for ionic 6 : https://github.com/HaylLtd/cordova-background-geolocation-plugin/issues/122#issuecomment-1271553737
// in android/app/src/main/res/values/strings.xml, add the following:
//   <string name="plugin_bgloc_account_name">@string/app_name</string>
//   <string name="plugin_bgloc_content_authority">$PACKAGE_NAME</string>
//   <string name="plugin_bgloc_account_type">$PACKAGE_NAME.account</string>


// compile test before installing second plugin
ionic cap sync && cd android && gradlew assembleDebug && cd ..


npm install onesignal-cordova-plugin


// compile test
ionic cap sync && cd android && gradlew assembleDebug && cd ..
// or open on android studio with:
ionic cap sync && ionic capacitor run android -l --external

What did you expect to happen?

@seltix5 Thanks for reporting, can you confirm you are using the latest version of each SDK (cordova-background-geolocation-plugin and onesignal-cordova-plugin)?

The build error is coming from com.marianhello.bgloc.data. It looks like others are running into this same problem even without OneSignal.
mauron85/background-geolocation-android#40

hello
this is a fresh new project for testing so yes, it should be the latest one:

    "cordova-background-geolocation-plugin": "^2.0.7",
    "onesignal-cordova-plugin": "^3.3.0",

> npm list
...

....

The background geolocation plugin is this one https://github.com/HaylLtd/cordova-background-geolocation-plugin but it is based on https://github.com/mauron85/cordova-plugin-background-geolocation thus the problem may be the same.

I already try to to install cordova-android-play-services-gradle-release as sugested but it did not help.
I even created the same issue on the other plugin at HaylLtd/cordova-background-geolocation-plugin#128 but the sugested solution did not work either.
Sadly I have no knowlage to try to find the problem myself and I dont know what else I can do.
As described on that issue discution I already created an new project to confirm that separatly both plugins work, only when both are installed at the same time I have the compilation error...
Any help is apreciated.
Thank you.

I just updated the original post with the exact steps to create the project from zero.

hello! any updates on this?

I finally fixed the problem changing the default GOOGLE_PLAY_SERVICES_VERSION from 11+ to 15+ here :
