gax library collision with google cloud gcp java client

[loicortola]

[REQUIRED] Step 2: Describe your environment

• Operating System version: MacOSX 12.0.1
• Firebase SDK version: 8.1.1
• Library version: Java 17
• Firebase Product: auth (auth, database, storage, etc)

[REQUIRED] Step 3: Describe the problem

Firebase Admin SDK is getting old, and recently, Spring Cloud GCP https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/spring-cloud-gcp updated their google cloud clients to the latest version, which uses a new major release of the google gax client https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/com.google.api/gax

Problem is: we cannot have both Firebase and Google Cloud libraries within the same runtime, as method signatures have changed since.
This is blocking for us, as we are forced to keep existing legacy versions and really need to upgrade soon.

Could you upgrade your project dependencies to the latest versions?

Thanks a lot for the great lib Google!

Steps to reproduce:

• Add the latest firebase-sdk-admin and google-cloud-gcp dependencies in your pom.xml or build.gradle.
• Initiate a FirebaseApp + a PubSubTemplate

App wont be able to start and a noSuchMethodError will throw.

Thanks @loicortola for filing this issue. I believe we need to update

firebase-admin-java/pom.xml

Line 388 in 72bfe0b

<version>20.9.0</version>

to fix this. (please let me know if you were referring to a different library). I will take a look at this to see how it affects the rest of the dependencies.

[loicortola]

Dear @lahirumaramba ,

this is absolutely exact.
Updating it to 25.1.0 would solve the issue

[loicortola]

For what it's worth, anything beyond 21.0.0 would work as it is the main version where they did major upgrades on many items in the bom.

Thanks a lot for your time and your quick response, let me know if I can do anything else to assist.

[loicortola]

@lahirumaramba, any updates? Would you like me to try a PR? I see there's already a bot which made a recent PR, I could take it from there?

[loicortola]

@lahirumaramba ?

Hi @loicortola Thank you for your patience! We need to confirm what we are breaking before dropping support for Java 7. I have have prioritized this task and will track any updates here. Thanks!

[loicortola]

Hi, sure. Basically, new libs from BOM chose to drop support for java 7 (java 8 is 8 years old so I think we're okay), and use java.util.function.Supplier interfaces, introduced in java 8. For me, there is a higher risk to stay behind on gax 1.x than the potential compatibility issues of upgrading to 8. Let me know if I can help. I have been using my private release since the PR in production and haven't had any issues. Le jeu. 5 mai 2022 à 21:17, Lahiru Maramba ***@***.***> a écrit :
