Get plugin failed when building app. FirebaseDatabase plugin

Corona Marketplace Corona Community Plugins
#1

I tried building the following app (https://github.com/scottrules44/firebaseDatabase-demo) with the firebase database plugin in it 

plugins =

    {

        [“plugin.firebaseDatabase”] =

        {

           publisherId = “tech.scotth”, 

        },

    },

but the following message comes up. I have subscribed and activated the plugin. I have tried building my own app but with the same build settings and the same message comes up, even on other PCs.

A device build error occurred on the server.

Error: Get plugin failed.

Plugin: shared.firebase.core

Publisher: com.coronalabs

User Account: ########@wellington-college.school.nz

Android build failed (5)

I tried building the app on a macbook and the error does not pop up, instead i got the following error message. I think I know how to fix this error (by downloading my own google services json file from my firebase) however even still this is on someone elses macbook and I cannot continue my project using his macbook.

Using custom build id from app bundle: 00000 (AppSettings.lua)

ERROR: Could not create build.properties:

Google Service settings file ‘google-services.json’ does not contain valid JSON. Please download a valid google-services.json from Project Settings in your Firebase control panel.

Android build failed (5) after 0 seconds

ERROR: Build Failed: Error code: 5

What could be the reasons that I am getting the “Get plugin failed” error?

All I want my app to do at the moment is to store data on the online firebase so that multiple phones could use my app and store simple data which they could extract for it. For example I might start of with something simple such as storing people’s names and age when the enter it in a text box.

Try rebuilding a couple times, if that does not work email: support@coronalabs.com

Yea its been a few days since this. I dont think its a network error. Still coming up with the same error. Is there a possibility I have not subscribed to anything else from the corona marketplace to make this work? Or perhaps is there something I need to do with my corona account for this plugin to work? This is the first plugin I have used that I need to subscribe to.

The " shared.firebase.core"  is a plugin that everyone should have access to, note the “shared” part. You do not need to activate anything but the plugin. Please contact support@coronalabs.com .

**FIX**

I simply had to download the 2017 version of the corona sdk simulator. The build was now successful, although I haven’t tested it on a phone yet.

I was previously running the 2015 version.

I’ll get underway with having a play around with firebase from tomorrow and will post back on the forum if needed.

Thanks for helping me understand a bit more about plugins Scott :slight_smile: Will reply here if I run into anymore problems related with the plugin.

Glad I could help, I am always testing and building on the newest corona simulator.
