Android: application crashing because of firebase

Today I tested my app on a new device (see below) and I'm getting an exception right at launch. I can't event start the main activity.

Device: Genymotion Samsung Galaxy S2 - Android 4.1.1 - API 16

No google play services installed.

E/AndroidRuntime: FATAL EXCEPTION: main
    java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: com.google.firebase.g

     at dalvik.system.NativeStart.main(Native Method)

gradle build:

android {
   compileSdkVersion 23
   buildToolsVersion '23.0.2'
   useLibrary 'org.apache.http.legacy'

   defaultConfig {
     applicationId "com.app"
     minSdkVersion 10
     targetSdkVersion 21
     multiDexEnabled true
   }
}

dependencies {
    compile fileTree(include: ['*.jar'], dir: 'libs')
    compile('com.crashlytics.sdk.android:crashlytics:2.5.5@aar') {
        transitive = true;
    }

    compile 'com.android.support:recyclerview-v7:24.2.0'
    compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:24.2.0'
    compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services:9.4.0'
    compile 'com.mcxiaoke.volley:library:1.0.19'
    compile 'com.github.chrisbanes.actionbarpulltorefresh:extra-abc:+'
    compile 'com.github.castorflex.smoothprogressbar:library:1.1.0'
    compile 'com.jeremyfeinstein.slidingmenu:library:1.3@aar'
    compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-ads:9.4.0'
    compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-identity:8.4.0'
    compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-gcm:9.4.0'
    compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-auth:9.4.0'
}

Is it crashing because of missing Play Services?

Note: I have implemented firebase about a month ago, and It's working on other devices.

Add this line in the Application Tag on manifest file:

android:name="android.support.multidex.MultiDexApplication"

Although you have multiDexEnabled true in your build.gradle file, you are missing compile 'com.android.support:multidex:1.0.1' in your dependencies. I doubt that Mulidex is working. Review the Multidex configuration instructions and make sure you have done everything correctly.

Also, it is not good practice to include compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services:9.4.0'. That adds all the Google Play and Firebase libraries to you app, increasing build time and the size of the APK file. Replace the dependency on play-services:9.4.0 with only the libraries you need. A list of the Google Play libraries is provided here, the Firebase libraries are listed here.

Try adding this apply plugin: 'com.google.gms.google-services' to the end of your gradle build file

You're correct, Firebase requires Google play services. As mentioned here in the release announcement for Google Play Services 9.0: Google Play Services 9.0

Firebase was built using Google Play services 9.0
