FirebaseUI-Android: styles.xml is missing inside the .aar library file for firebase-ui-auth

[Animesh Jain]

I was trying to do some customisation on the Firebase Android UI layouts. So I figured instead of pulling the default libraries from maven central, I'd import the aar file into my project as a library. However, Android studio now fails to compile my project with a errors like this -

/ExampleAndroidProject/app/build/intermediates/exploded-aar/ExampleAndroidProject/firebase-ui-auth-release/unspecified/res/layout/forgot_password_layout.xml

Error:(10) No resource identifier found for attribute 'errorTextAppearance' in package 'com.example.sample'

Error:(10) No resource identifier found for attribute 'hintTextAppearance' in package 'com.example.sample'

/ExampleAndroidProject/app/build/intermediates/exploded-aar/ExampleAndroidProject/firebase-ui-auth-release/unspecified/res/layout/register_email_layout.xml

Error:(15) No resource identifier found for attribute 'errorTextAppearance' in package 'com.example.sample'

Error:(15) No resource identifier found for attribute 'hintTextAppearance' in package 'com.example.sample'

Error:(35) No resource identifier found for attribute 'errorTextAppearance' in package 'com.example.sample'

Error:(35) No resource identifier found for attribute 'hintTextAppearance' in package 'com.example.sample'

Error:(55) No resource identifier found for attribute 'errorTextAppearance' in package 'com.example.sample'

Error:(55) No resource identifier found for attribute 'hintTextAppearance' in package 'com.example.sample'

Sure enough, when I check inside the .aar files, the styles.xml is not to be found. What could I be doing wrong?

Thanks in advance.

I can see that the styles _are_ present, but in the values.xml file. Gradle build continues to fail though. Both from within the IDE and from the command line. Confused.. what could be the problem?

Can you please file this as an issue in FirebaseUI-Android, as it's an open source library and we like to triage bugs there.

Thanks,
