java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError while using android.location.GnssAntennaInfo

I am trying to run GnssAntennaInfo. Everything runs fine with on the emulator. When testing on real devices (sdk 27), the app crashes with the following error:

GNSSTest.kt as follow:

package com.example.axpapp

import android.location.GnssAntennaInfo

class GNSSTests {

    fun getAntennaInfo(): String {
        val antenna = GnssAntennaInfo.CREATOR

        return antenna.toString()
    }

    companion object {
        fun printAntennaInfo(){
            println(GNSSTests().getAntennaInfo())
        }
    }
}

What is the reason for this crash? How can it be fixed?
