Unable to get provider com.google.firebase.provider.FirebaseInitProvider on a downloaded apk, works fine when uploading the apk with adb

Very much aware there are similar questions. Tried all the answers, none of them helped.
Everything works just fine when I upload the apk to my phone with Android Studio but when I download and install the apk I get this nonsense:
java.lang.RuntimeException: Unable to get provider com.google.firebase.provider.FirebaseInitProvider: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: Didn't find class "com.google.firebase.provider.FirebaseInitProvider" on path: DexPathList[[zip file "/data/app/com.mycompany.myapp-1/base.apk"],nativeLibraryDirectories=[/data/app/com.mycompany.myapp-1/lib/arm64, /system/lib64, /vendor/lib64]]

The app is pretty much only a webview wrapper for a webapp + widget + GCM functionality that receives push messages and shows notifications. If I get this to work, I might never need to touch Android again, so for the love of god please help me with this final issue.

Yessss, finally. Goodbye android!
Turns out the APK android studio had built during normal build processes was crap for some reason. Build-> Build APK built a 3x bigger apk file that worked when downloaded too.

Matching the versions resolves this.
In Compatibility with Firebase / Google Play Services Libraries, it matches
FirebaseUI Version Firebase/Play Services Version
1.0.0 9.8.0
So if dependencies are changed to
compile 'com.google.firebase:firebase-database:9.8.0'
compile 'com.google.firebase:firebase-auth:9.8.0'
compile 'com.firebaseui:firebase-ui-auth:1.0.0'
instead of
compile 'com.google.firebase:firebase-database:10.0.0'
compile 'com.google.firebase:firebase-auth:10.0.0'
compile 'com.firebaseui:firebase-ui-auth:1.0.0'
which is the latest available firebase version for firebaseUI version, the app works fine

This is most likely do to a version incompatibility between Firebase, and FirebaseUI. I ran into the same issue, and spent 30-45 min trying to figure it out. Ultimately what I did in order to keep going with the "Firebase in a Weekend" tutorial was:
git checkout 1.04-firebase-auth-firebaseui-signin
This will switch to the branch at this point in the tutorial. It works fine after doing so.
Maybe not the ideal answer as to what the problem is, but will get you going again with the course.

You just need to add :
compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-auth:x.x.x'(find the right version here). They missed to say that you also need to add play-services-auth dependency for google authentication to work.

Android: application crashing because of firebase

Today I tested my app on a new device (see below) and I'm getting an exception right at launch. I can't event start the main activity.

Is it crashing because of missing Play Services?
Note: I have implemented firebase about a month ago, and It's working on other devices.

Although you have multiDexEnabled true in your build.gradle file, you are missing compile 'com.android.support:multidex:1.0.1' in your dependencies. I doubt that Mulidex is working. Review the Multidex configuration instructions and make sure you have done everything correctly.
Also, it is not good practice to include compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services:9.4.0'. That adds all the Google Play and Firebase libraries to you app, increasing build time and the size of the APK file. Replace the dependency on play-services:9.4.0 with only the libraries you need. A list of the Google Play libraries is provided here, the Firebase libraries are listed here.

Try adding this apply plugin: 'com.google.gms.google-services' to the end of your gradle build file

You're correct, Firebase requires Google play services. As mentioned here in the release announcement for Google Play Services 9.0:
Google Play Services 9.0
Firebase was built using Google Play services 9.0

Add this line in the Application Tag on manifest file:
android:name="android.support.multidex.MultiDexApplication"

Dex file exceeded 64k after adding Google Play Services 9.0.0

I was following the Firebase guide to adding FCM, and so I added the following dependencies to my app gradle:
compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services:9.0.0'
apply plugin: 'com.google.gms.google-services'
And this one to my project gradle:
classpath 'com.google.gms:google-services:3.0.0'
After this, I added the google-services.json from the Firebase console settings by downloading it and adding it to my app directory.
Now I'm getting this error:
Error:The number of method references in a .dex file cannot exceed 64K.
Learn how to resolve this issue at https://developer.android.com/tools/building/multidex.html
If I follow the instructions and have my application to support multidex, my application crashes as soon as it launches.
Here is the error after adding multidex to my app:

One possible way to avoid 64k Dex error is by including only those APIs which your app needs from Google Play Services.
Selectively compiling APIs into your executable
From version 6.5, you can instead selectively compile Google Play service APIs into your app. For example, to include only the Google Fit and Android Wear APIs, replace the following line in your build.gradle file:
compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services:9.0.0'
with these lines:
compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-fitness:9.0.0'
compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-wearable:9.0.0'
UPDATED
Well I read the doc, which says
Apps that rely on the Play Services SDK should always check the device for a compatible Google Play services APK before accessing Google Play services features
So you only need to check Google Play Service is available or not. And to do this you only need Google Actions, Base Client Library API.
compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-base:9.0.0'

as explained in documentation use Selectively compiling APIs into your executable which is best approach for you(take it in first priority insted of Multi Dex), because Multi-dex have some limitations check before proceed.
Avoiding the 64K Limit - Proguard will help you
Before configuring your app to enable use of 64K or more method
references, you should take steps to reduce the total number of
references called by your app code, including methods defined by your
app code or included libraries. The following strategies can help you
avoid hitting the dex reference limit:
Review your app's direct and transitive dependencies - Ensure any large library dependency you include in your app is used in a manner
that outweighs the amount of code being added to the application. A
common anti-pattern is to include a very large library because a few
utility methods were useful. Reducing your app code dependencies can
often help you avoid the dex reference limit.
Remove unused code with ProGuard - Configure the ProGuard settings for your app to run ProGuard and ensure you have shrinking enabled for
release builds. Enabling shrinking ensures you are not shipping unused
code with your APKs.
Using these techniques can help you avoid the
build configuration changes required to enable more method references
in your app. These steps can also decrease the size of your APKs,
which is particularly important for markets where bandwidth costs are
high.
So, try to avoid Multi-Dex
one more thing when you use compile 'com.android.support:design:23.1.1' then you not need to use compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:23.1.1' and compile 'com.android.support:support-v4:23.1.1'. so remove v7 & v4 from build.gradle file

First check if the multidex has really worked, you can do that by renaming the apk file to zip and extracting it. There should 2 multiple classes.dex files.
Secondly, it can also happen if earlier to reduce the method you must have used proguard, so just comment the use of proguard and it should work.
Otherwise paste your exception here.

Something wrong.
Checking the doc you only need this dependency
dependencies {
compile 'com.google.firebase:firebase-messaging:9.0.0'
}
So you can remove this dependency
//compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services:9.0.0'
If it is not enough and you have more than 65536 methods you can use the multidex support.
Just add these lines in the build.gradle:
android {
defaultConfig {
...
// Enabling multidex support.
multiDexEnabled true
}
...
}
dependencies {
compile 'com.android.support:multidex:1.0.0'
}
Also in your Manifest add the MultiDexApplication class from the multidex support library to the application element
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="com.example.android.multidex.myapplication">
<application
...
android:name="android.support.multidex.MultiDexApplication">
...
</application>
</manifest>
and override attachBaseContext method:
#Override
protected void attachBaseContext(Context newBase) {
super.attachBaseContext(newBase);
MultiDex.install(this);
}
If you are using a own Application class, change the parent class from Application to MultiDexApplication.

New Relic Class Not Found ... I don't even use new relic

I don't even use new relic and I'm getting errors for them. It just happened all of the sudden.
I'm using the latest Android Studio build (0.61). Even my master branch has the same error. There are other projects on my machine that use new relic, but not this one. This project does not use new relic in any way, not so much as a wayward gradle dependency.
I've tried clearing out my gradle cache and re-downloading all the third party libs, didn't work.

Edit
The project now imports New Relic in the build.gradle per a user suggestions. This fixed the issue but I'm still exploring why, as it doesn't seem like it should be necessary.
The class throwing the error is in Path's JobQueue lib, the library hasn't been updated in 4 months, and my app has been running fine, this just started happening suddenly. The class that is erroring in the 3rd party lib doesn't even use New Relic.
Edit 2
The priority job queue lib does not use new relic. I have no clue why the stack trace says it does, seems like a red herring. I've heard the New Relic SDK modifies the Android API and gives weird errors. But again, I don't use new relic in my project. Is it possible using the NR sdk in another project somehow infected this one (maybe a bug in Android Studio)?
Edit 3
OK, the Priority Job Queue lib in the original stack trace is definitely a false flag. I went ahead and accessed my own Provider before the JobQueue had a chance to access its (knowing this would force the creation of my own DB ahead of the JobQueue lib). My logic was that if Android Sqlite was being infected by New Relic then it would cause a similar error on my own OpenHelper, it did.

Edit 4
I just ran the project on a machine that has never had a New Relic library installed in any project and it ran fine. I think this is pretty strong evidence that New Relic is doing something funny w/ their plugin/library.
Edit 5
I updated my gradle-wraper.properties file to use the rc-1 distribution and that seems to have fixed the problem. I removed the new relic dependencies from my build.gradle that one commenter suggested, and the app still runs fine.
distributionUrl=http\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-1.12-rc-1-all.zip
My guess is that the New Relic library was being cached in the 1.12-all gradle distro and this was the common link causing other projects to error. I'm still not sure what makes the New Relic library different such that gradle thinks it should include it in other projects. Given that New Relic had an almost identical issue w/ their Eclipse plugin not too long ago, I think it's reasonable to assume there's something going on w/ their Maven distribution. I have a support ticket open with them and I will continue to investigate and report back.
The odd part is if I delete all the gradle distributions/caches/etc in ~/.gradle dir and try to use the 1.12-all distro it still throws that new relic error. The only way it will work is if I use the 1.12-rc-1-all gradle distro.

./gradlew --stop
./gradlew cleanBuildCache
./gradlew clean
works for me

It looks like Android Studio switched over to the gradle daemon for faster builds. Unfortunately, this caches parts of the New Relic agent and it's necessary to stop the daemon when you switch to a project without the agent (or a different version. You can accomplish this simply by running:
gradle --stop
You'll also want to clean your project to ensure the classes are rebuilt and dexed.
While this should get you up and running for now, we'll work on a fix for this issue right away and you can expect it in the next version of the agent.

I tried gradle --stop but it didn't work.
Delete .gradle directory and sync project again, it worked.

I faced the weird issue of NoClassDefFoundError in kitkat. but it was working fine on lollipop.
I tried all the above fix but didn't work.
Finally I come to know that its because of multidex error. I crossed 65k method.
So,I followed this tutorial from android developer site. and worked like charm
