Adding MultiDex to a project in android studio but keeping getting java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError

So I am currently trying to import multidex into my project, I have followed the provided documentations/QnA Android Application using Firebase database keeps crashing when launching?

https://developer.android.com/studio/build/multidex#java

and have done the following amends to my build.gradle app file:

apply plugin: 'com.android.application'
apply plugin: 'com.google.gms.google-services'

android {
    compileSdkVersion 30
    buildToolsVersion "30.0.2"

    defaultConfig {
        applicationId "com.example.finalyearprojectapp"
        minSdkVersion 19
        targetSdkVersion 30
        versionCode 1
        versionName "1.0"
        multiDexEnabled true
        testInstrumentationRunner "androidx.test.runner.AndroidJUnitRunner"
    }

    buildTypes {
        release {
            multiDexKeepFile file('multidex-config.txt')
            minifyEnabled false
            proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android-optimize.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
        }
    }
}


dependencies {
    implementation "androidx.multidex:multidex:2.0.1"
    //implementation 'com.android.support:multidex:1.0.3'
    implementation fileTree(dir: "libs", include: ["*.jar"])
    implementation 'androidx.appcompat:appcompat:1.2.0'
    implementation 'androidx.constraintlayout:constraintlayout:2.0.1'
    implementation 'com.google.firebase:firebase-auth:16.0.5'
    implementation 'com.google.firebase:firebase-firestore:22.1.2'
    testImplementation 'junit:junit:4.12'
    androidTestImplementation 'androidx.test.ext:junit:1.1.2'
    androidTestImplementation 'androidx.test.espresso:espresso-core:3.3.0'

}

I have followed the documentation until it has mentioned that I am needed to implement the following code into my android manifest:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    package="com.example.myapp">
    <application
            android:name="androidx.multidex.MultiDexApplication" >
        ...
    </application>
</manifest>

I have added this to the manifest, my XML:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    package="com.example.finalyearprojectapp">

    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET"  />


    <application

        android:name="androidx.multidex.MultiDexApplication" >

        android:allowBackup="true"
        android:icon="@mipmap/ic_launcher"
        android:label="@string/app_name"
        android:roundIcon="@mipmap/ic_launcher_round"
        android:supportsRtl="true"
        android:theme="@style/AppTheme">
        <activity android:name=".MainScreen" />
        <activity android:name=".RegisterActivity" />
        <activity android:name=".LoginActivity" />
        <activity android:name=".MainActivity">
            <intent-filter>
                <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />

                <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
            </intent-filter>
        </activity>
    </application>

</manifest>

But now I run across this error

Failed to parse XML in C:\Users\jabze\Desktop\FinalApp\app\src\main\AndroidManifest.xml
ParseError at [row,col]:[11,43]
Message: expected start or end tag
Affected Modules: app

I have done literally every tutorial out there and I just cannot figure out the issue, i feel like giving up on this project.

I have tried extending it from each class as mentioned in documentation and all my code has errors to resolve, some with no context.

I have tried extending it using a base class which uses multidex and then trying to add it into the android manifest like this,

android:name=".BaseApp"

Then creating a class to extend from multidex

import androidx.multidex.MultiDexApplication;

public class BaseApp extends MultiDexApplication {

    @Override
    public void onCreate() {
        super.onCreate();
    }

}

This has solved the configuration problem, but now i recieve a error when trying to open my app, logcat

You want to create a Base class that extends the MultiDex if you don't have one.

public class BaseApp extends MultiDexApplication {

    @Override
    public void onCreate() {
        super.onCreate();
    }

}

Your Manifest can look like below:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    package="com.example.finalyearprojectapp">

    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET"  />

   <application
    android:name=".BaseApp"
    android:allowBackup="true"
    android:icon="@mipmap/ic_launcher"
    android:label="@string/app_name"
    android:roundIcon="@mipmap/ic_launcher_round"
    android:supportsRtl="true"
    android:theme="@style/AppTheme">

        <activity android:name=".MainScreen" />
        <activity android:name=".RegisterActivity" />
        <activity android:name=".LoginActivity" />
        <activity android:name=".MainActivity">
            <intent-filter>
                <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />

                <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
            </intent-filter>
        </activity>
    </application>

</manifest>

Edit: You should upgrade your firebase to the latest, or at least version from 17.0.0 and above. I was told that According to firebase release notes May 07, 2019, it says; "If you use Firebase Authentication, update to firebase-auth v17.0.0 or later to ensure functionality alignment with other updated Firebase libraries."
