I couldn't figure out how to label this issue, so I've labeled it for a human to triage. Hang tight.

Hi @ShivamGoyal1899, thank you for reaching out. I'm not familiar with the j2objc-annotations dependency. Per checking,
Firebase Android SDK does not use the dependency j2objc-annotations.

This issue means that the Gradle build system used by Android cannot determine how to handle the annotations provided by the j2objc-annotations library within an Android project. If you're not using the latest Android Gradle plugin, I would suggest try using the latest version to see if the issue is already resolved.

To get better help, It would be best to reach out to the j2objc support team. That said, I'll be closing this issue now. Let me know if you have questions or clarifications. Thanks!

@lehcar09 we are on latest AGP and Gradle. also the issue does not comes up while using BOM v33.1.2. it fails to compile after bumping BOM to v33.2.0 (no other code change).

@lehcar09 this is still not working on latest BOM. can you please take a look?

Someone reported this to us on the Guava side in google/guava#7397. I'm working to fix it there. Once I do so, Firebase should be able to upgrade to a new version of Guava, and the problem should go away. Sorry for the trouble.
