Firestore crashing app with new dependencies

Yesterday I updated the dependencies of Firestore with 17.1.1 and Google Services with 4.1.0. Now while launching the app it crashes.
Note:
If I change Google Services to 4.0.2, the Firestore initializes properly and the app works as expected.
classpath 'com.google.gms:google-services:4.0.2'
Update:
Changing to 4.2.0 works.
Logs:
Default FirebaseApp failed to initialize because no default options were found. This usually means that com.google.gms:google-services was not applied to your gradle project.

There is no need to use FirebaseApp.initializeApp(context). Using only the dependencies is enough. So you shouldn't ever have to call it manually if you performed the standard integration, as it will be invoked automatically a startup via a ContentProvider that will initialize before any other Activity or Service. You can read Doug's post regarding on how to initialize Firebase on Android.
The problem in your code is that your are using for your project the alpha13 version for your gradle. To solve this, please change the following line of code:
classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.3.0-alpha13'
to
classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.2.0'
Will solve this issue.

This is a confirmed bug in the play-services plugin 4.1.0 according to https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/112716914. The answer is to use an earlier version, e.g. 4.0.2.
Edit: Version 4.2.0 is released where the bug is fixed.

Switching to 4.2.0 Solves the issue.

Android app works while used as debugging,but crashes if testing version "app-debug" is installed

Please comment why it was downvoted and what should i add more

I have seen these answers
Firebase database dependency crashes app
After upgrading to google play services 8.4.0 my app crashes on startup
No static method zzUr() in Firebase when I try to use Analytics with Notifications
All they suggest to use the same version of firebase services.
You can see that I have already done that, the only version of ui-database and ui-storage are different.
Also short note:-MultiDex is enabled and minify is disabled.

The problem in your dependencies is that your firebaseui library is not compatible with firebase library.
Check Compatibility with Firebase / Google Play Services Libraries.
You want 1.2.0 version of firebaseui and therefore you must update firebase library to 10.2.0+.

In your build.gradle you need to add all the dependencies -
dependencies {
// FirebaseUI Database only
compile 'com.firebaseui:firebase-ui-database:1.2.0'
// FirebaseUI Auth onl
compile 'com.firebaseui:firebase-ui-auth:1.2.0'
// FirebaseUI Storage only
compile 'com.firebaseui:firebase-ui-storage:1.2.0'
// Single target that includes all FirebaseUI libraries above
compile 'com.firebaseui:firebase-ui:1.2.0'
}
If this doesn't fix your error then you might want to add these files as well
compile "com.android.support:design:23.2.1"
compile "com.android.support:customtabs:23.2.1"
compile "com.android.support:cardview-v7:23.2.1"
I hope after doing all this, your issue should be long gone.
Btw for more information on this, you can check out the Git repo of Firebase - https://github.com/firebase/FirebaseUI-Android#installation actually this has all the details.

Updating firebase in my gradle app module ruined my app. Going back to previous versions does not work

Before any changes my gradle looked like this:
dependencies {
compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])
androidTestCompile('com.android.support.test.espresso:espresso-core:2.2.2', {
exclude group: 'com.android.support', module: 'support-annotations'
})
compile 'com.google.firebase:firebase-core:10.0.1'
compile 'com.google.firebase:firebase-auth:10.0.1'
compile 'com.google.firebase:firebase-database:10.0.1'
compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-auth:10.0.1'
compile 'com.firebaseui:firebase-ui-auth:1.0.1'
}
apply plugin: 'com.google.gms.google-services'
and
buildscript {
repositories {
jcenter()
}
dependencies {
classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:2.2.3'
classpath 'com.google.gms:google-services:3.0.0'
}
}
allprojects {
repositories {
jcenter()
maven { url 'https://maven.fabric.io/public' }
}
}
task clean(type: Delete) {
delete rootProject.buildDir
}
and everything was working fine. Then I updated all of the com/google... dependencies to 10.2.0 version and firebaseui to 1.2.0 as the table here says https://github.com/firebase/FirebaseUI-Android#compatibility-with-firebase--google-play-services-libraries
Then I got some errors on mFirebaseAuth = FirebaseAuth.getInstance() line (sorry but can't remember what exactly) so I changed back all of the versions to 10.0.1 and 1.0.1 and I'm still getting error and my application crashes on start (this error is different than the previous one).

I tried Invalidate caches/restart, clean and rerun. Even rebooting my pc. Nothing seems to work.
Any ideas?
Edit:
I tried aaroncio's solution, removed apply plugin: 'com.google.gms.google-services' and I'm getting different error:

Line mentioned in comment is mFirebaseAuth = FirebaseAuth.getInstance();

I solved it removing the line about firebase-authentication in the build-gradle file:
compile 'com.google.firebase:firebase-auth:10.2.1'
I removed the imports about authentication also, I was just making some experiments with firebase auth so its not important in this case, but to others may not be ideal solution.

It looks like something changed with the last version of Google Services, I had a similar problem and solved it deleting the following line in gradle:
apply plugin: 'com.google.gms.google-services'

If I remove the dependencies and instead copy the concerned classes from the libraries and run the application, it runs perfectly fine.
Also I have other dependencies like junit and app-compat and those don't seem to cause this issue. Any ideas what might be causing this issue?
I have tried specifying the jacoco plugin to the following version
and it still doesn't seem to work.
I have tried removing jacoco dependencies from the libraries : no
effect.
My main build.gradle looks like this :
task wrapper(type: Wrapper) {
gradleVersion = '2.13'
}
buildscript {
repositories {
mavenCentral()
jcenter()
}
dependencies {
classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:2.1.0'
classpath 'com.github.dcendents:android-maven-gradle-plugin:1.3'
}
}

project.ext.set('compileSdkVersion', 23)

version = project.ext.get('versionName')

mavenLocal()
mavenCentral()
}
}

I got this error after updating Android Studio. I found out that switching off Instant Run in Settings fixed it.

According to here, you'll need to jacocoagent.jar put on the classpath. In other words, you'll need to compile the same version of jacocoagent.jar in gradle.
First check the version code here(In your situation is version0.7.4.201502262128) and then download jars from here.
Put jacocoagent.jar in libs folder then add compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['jacocoagent.jar']) in your app's build.gradle.

bijang is correct. You need to add the jacocoagent.jar. Rather than including the jar directly, pull it down from maven. The version of the jacocoagent has to match the version of the jacocoplugin since the Offline.class package has a commmit hash. Here are my dependencies:
compile 'org.jacoco:jacoco-maven-plugin:0.7.9'
compile 'org.jacoco:org.jacoco.agent:0.7.9:runtime'

For Jacoco 0.8.7 i added the following to the app/build.gradle to resolve the issue
implementation 'org.jacoco:org.jacoco.agent:0.8.7'
