React Native Firebase Android always crash 0.61 - firebase

Question

Issue
I tried to add the react-native-firebase library https://github.com/invertase/react-native-firebase and everything works perfectly on iOS. When it comes to integration on android, nothing works.
The project Builds correctly, but the app crashes (only in Android) right after the build with this output:
info Running jetifier to migrate libraries to AndroidX. You can disable it using "--no-jetifier" flag.
Jetifier found 1099 file(s) to forward-jetify. Using 16 workers...

error React Native CLI uses autolinking for native dependencies, but the following modules are linked manually:
- react-native-maps (to unlink run: "react-native unlink react-native-maps")
This is likely happening when upgrading React Native from below 0.60 to 0.60 or above. Going forward, you can unlink this dependency via "react-native unlink <dependency>" and it will be included in your app automatically. If a library isn't compatible with autolinking, disregard this message and notify the library maintainers.

I solved that problem erasing that code in android/app/build.gradle
implementation(project(':react-native-maps')){
exclude group: 'com.google.android.gms', module: 'play-services-base'
exclude group: 'com.google.android.gms', module: 'play-services-maps'
}
implementation 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-base:10.0.1'
implementation 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-maps:10.0.1'
