java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: com.google.firebase.FirebaseOptions

Question

I was getting this weird error on my google developer console. So i used google Cloud Test Lab to See whats really happening. turns out my app is failing on almost all devic

Answer 1

If this can help other I solved this using this, although this is nowhere linked with Firebase but it actually solved my crash

1. Add compile 'com.android.support:multidex:1.0.1' to app/build.gradle.

2. Add android:name="android.support.multidex.MultiDexApplication" to the application tag in AndroidManifest.xml.

3. If you are using a custom Application class, skip the AndroidManifest.xml and make your Application class extend MultiDexApplication instead of Application.
