Answer 1

Firebase is the reason they are updating version numbers like they don't care about the developers.

First things first. Update the classpath in project level gradle

dependencies {

        classpath 'com.google.gms:google-services:3.2.1'

    }

Next, Whatever the tools you might be using like analytics, dynamic links, and so forth. Use the appropriate versioned dependency.

In my case, I was using A/B testing through remote config, so I need to update it from

implementation 'com.google.firebase:firebase-config:15.0.0'

to

implementation 'com.google.firebase:firebase-config:15.0.2'

This should work without any glitch. And also, please post this kind of issues to Firebase so that they don't do this kind of changes without a heads-up or without a proper documentation.
