Answer 1

I was having this issue when i enabled proguard, when i'm disabling it I don't get the crash. I fixed it by adding following dependencies in my app level gradle. I have used FCM, Firebase Analytics and google location in my app. So I had to add the following, if u r not using anything then skip it.

implementation 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-location:17.0.0'
implementation 'com.google.firebase:firebase-messaging:20.2.0'
implementation 'com.google.firebase:firebase-analytics:17.4.3'

Also add the following in your proguard rules file.

-dontshrink
-dontoptimize
-dontwarn
-dontpreverify

Answer 2

For me i tried adding implementation 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-auth:18.0.0' didnot work for me..

But after adding the below dependency it worked for me.

implementation 'com.android.support:multidex:1.0.3'

Answer 3

Well, I am using Account Kit from Facebook. After I adding play-services-auth problem is resolved.

implementation 'com.facebook.android:account-kit-sdk:4.39.0'

implementation 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-auth:17.0.0'

Answer 4

I fixed this issue. Please follow below code. Added following to android/build.gradle

allprojects {
    repositories {
    //start here
    configurations.all {
 resolutionStrategy.eachDependency { DependencyResolveDetails details ->
   def requested = details.requested
       if (requested.group == 'com.google.android.gms') {
          details.useVersion '12.0.1'
       }
       if (requested.group == 'com.google.firebase') {
          details.useVersion '12.0.1'
         }
       }
     }
    //end
     jcenter()
       maven {
         url "https://maven.google.com"
       }
     }
 }

Answer 5

I was using a react native package

react-native-facebook-account-kit

resolved by adding

implementation 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-auth:16.0.1'

Answer 6

In your build.gradle, upgrade play-services-gcm and play-services-location to 15.0.1:

com.google.android.gms:play-services-gcm:15.0.1
com.google.android.gms:play-services-location:15.0.1

Answer 7

This is happen when we try to authenticate user with some authenticate service like AccountKit FirebaseAuth and those service depends on play-services-auth So, Add

implementation 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-auth:16.0.0'

on your build.gradle dependencies
