Error while Dexing when building Flutter project

Question

I am currently trying to integrate Firebase Messaging into my project, I have set up a firebase project and successfully imported all of the other dependencies I need (crashlytics, firestore etc...) however when I add the firebase messaging dependency to my pubspec.yaml I get an error when building. I am using the newest version of firebase_messaging and also the newest version of google services.

The Error:

Plugin project: firebase_core_web not found. Please update settings.gradle.
Invalid depfile: C:\Users\Owner\AndroidStudioProjects\switcheroo_ios\.dart_tool\flutter_build\d71b8b11f916190e0bd095c78ccf0a69\kernel_snapshot.d

try adding `implementation 'com.google.firebase:firebase-messaging:20.0.1'` inside dependencies — GJJ2019, Jun 14 '20 at 19:31
Yup, facepalming pretty hard rn, If you post an answer id be happy to award the bounty, Also would this cause any problems on IOS? Do i need to do anything in the ios project? I'm developing on windows so I can't really test until i'm done with the app — barbecu, Jun 15 '20 at 11:11
i dont think so as it is all related to android stuff so shouldn't be a problem — GJJ2019, Jun 15 '20 at 11:20

Try adding

implementation 'com.google.firebase:firebase-messaging:20.0.1'

inside dependencies

just try adding dependencies that r related to each platform explicitly like in android as above

for ios (im not sure about ios ecosystem) but adding this might help

pod 'Firebase/Messaging'

1.- In build.gradle (project level) use:

classpath 'com.google.gms:google-services:4.3.3' // Google Services plugin

2.- In build.gradle (app level) use:

minSdkVersion 21

3.- Replace settings.gradle content with the solution provided here:

Plugin project :firebase_core_web not found
