Device Registration for Push Notifications not working on Android 9

Backendless_SDK: 0.3.1

Flutter in Android Studio (version 3.5)

• Android Studio at /Applications/Android Studio.app/Contents
• Flutter plugin version 40.1.2
• Dart plugin version 191.8423
• Java version OpenJDK Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_202-release-1483-b49-5587405)

Application ID

859418E3-AA83-93D2-FF8E-C0009E704C00

Expected Behavior

I’m hoping the Device registers correctly for the Backendless Messaging Service.

The error log mentions Firebase, I think its because of following this guide, which suggests editting AndroidManifest.xml:

1. Run should print Device has been registered

Actual Behavior

Reproducible Test Case

The Flutter Push Notifications Setup

Hello @Samuel_Franco

I’ve created an internal ticket to investigate the issue, ticket’s number is BKNDLSS-19789

Regards, Vlad

Hi @Samuel_Franco

Is it working for another Android versions for you?

Best Regards,
Maksym

Also, @Samuel_Franco, did you add Firebase dependencies to your Android build.gradle file

implementation 'com.google.firebase:firebase-core:16.0.5'
implementation 'com.google.firebase:firebase-messaging:17.3.4'

as described here:
