   It's specifically newer versions of firebase-config that cause this problem, because it adds a dependency on com.google.protobuf:protobuf-lite:3.0.1 which is incompatible with protobuf-java used by java-photoslibrary.

   A workaround seems to exclude protobuf-lite from remote-config:

   implementation ('com.google.firebase:firebase-config:19.0.2') {
           exclude group: 'com.google.protobuf', module:'protobuf-lite'
       }
   

   I have not seen any side-effect on remote-config with this, although this is really band-aid.

   Same issue here with firebase performance with the 1.5.0

   Still a problem to this day.

   The workaround I mentioned in second post does not work: it will remove compilation errors caused by the duplicate protobuf classes, but firebase-config will does not work properly (fail to fetch values).

   So you cannot use java-photoslibrary in conjunction with any library that needs com.google.protobuf:protobuf-javalite such as some firebase libraries. For remote-config, you can stay with older version 18.0.0, the last version that does not use protobuf-javalite.

   Would be nice if a solution was found, for example by making this library compatible with protobuf-javalite.
