How to update dependencies inside of third-party libraries without using as a module?-CodePudding

When we use a third-party library in our project , this third-party library may have used an old dependencies in its project, that can cause errors or bugs in our project. How can we force that third-party library to use an updated version of the dependency that does not conflict with our dependencies?

CodePudding user response：

If you are using an .AAR file then connect to the concern developer to replace the dependencies with newer one.

CodePudding user response：

You can exclude a module from a third-party library and include a newer version of the same to use in the project.

Use exclude to remove the module included with the library.

dependencies {
    implementation 'com.google.firebase:firebase-inappmessaging-display-ktx:20.1.0', {
        exclude group: 'io.grpc', module: 'grpc-okhttp' // removing grpc-okhttp included with the library
    }

    implementation 'io.grpc:grpc-okhttp:1.40.1'
}
