FATAL EXCEPTION: GoogleApiHandler

In my project i'm using the monetization service(Vungle/AppLovin).
When I'm trying to load an ad, i get this exception
E/AndroidRuntime: FATAL EXCEPTION: GoogleApiHandler

In my project I have two fragments in one activity. The user gets an ad in the second one. If I load an ad from the activity, it works well. What can be the cause of this issue?
By the way both ad networks(Vungle and AppLovin) return this exception

I had the same problem and I fixed it downgrading to firebase Google Play services 11.6.0

One reason you could be getting this error is if your buildToolsVersion in your app-level Gradle is less than 26. Either that or your v4 support is less than 26.0.0 seeing as NotificationCompat.Builder was added in API 26.

IllegalAccessError when I add a library

When I try to add this lib :
compile 'com.isupatches:wisefy:1.0.9'
I have this error with my app (without using it) :
FATAL EXCEPTION: IntentService[GCM]
Process: my.app, PID: 7667
java.lang.IllegalAccessError: Method 'void

This is the line of the problem :
InstanceID instanceID = InstanceID.getInstance(this);
I have look the reason of this error and it seem it's because I use a version too old of my play-services.
compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services:8.3.0'
But it's working without adding the lib wisefy so how can I isolate this problem (because I don't want to update my library) ?

By adding Wisefy, as it uses support-v4 too (like play-services-gcm), a more recent version of support-v4 will be used in your project which your old play-services-gcm library can not rely on. That's why you get this error.

java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: com.google.android.gms.R$string at com.google.android.gms.common.internal.zzam.<init>(Unknown Source)

I am building an Android App and everything works correctly for Android 5.+. However, for Android 4.x, I am getting the following error when I try to compile using Android Studio:

In my dependencies, I already tried both compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services:+'
and also compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services:9.8.0'.
I have been trying to find solutions online and people recommend to add Google Play Services dependencies, but I already did that. I had also tried compile 'com.android.support:multidex:1.0.0' but I do not think that would make any difference because in any case, I saw this message popping up in Android Studio:
"Instant Run does not support deploying build variants with multidex enabled, to a target with API level 20 or below.
To use Instant Run with a multidex enabled build variant, deploy to a target with API level 21 or higher."
Any hints? Thank you.

The solution was simply adding the following code in my class that extended Application:
#Override
protected void attachBaseContext(Context base) {
super.attachBaseContext(base);
MultiDex.install(this);
}
The solution was at java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: com.google.android.gms.internal.zzmp, so this question could be marked as duplicate.

App crashes when using latest Smooch version (4.0.5) with Google play service 9.6.1

I'm implementing Smooch in Android app, I use latest version of Smooch(4.0.5) and in my App, I use Google play service v9.6.1. And the app crashes when I start.
In Application class:
Smooch.init(this, BuildConfig.SMOOCH_APP_TOKEN);
This is crash logs:
java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: No static method zzb(Ljava/lang/Object;Ljava/lang/Object;)Ljava/lang/Object; in class Lcom/google/android/gms/common/internal/zzab; or its super classes (declaration of 'com.google.android.gms.common.internal.zzab' appears in /data/app/com.***.***/base.apk)

I notice that Smooch v4.0.5 is using Firebase v9.4.0 which is not compatible with Google play service v9.6.1. So how can I fix this crash (I can not downgrade Google play service in my app for some reasons)

There have been known issues when using different versions of Firebase and Play Services. To fix this, you can update the Firebase version in your project to be in sync with your Play Services version. Include the Firebase dependency in your project's build.gradle file and set both to the same version, it will override the version provided by Smooch. Ex:
dependencies {
compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services:9.6.1'
compile 'com.google.firebase:firebase-core:9.6.1'
compile 'com.google.firebase:firebase-messaging:9.6.1'
// other dependencies
}

Firebase Crash produces ANR during launch

Recently I got feedback and also I was able to reproduce it easily on my Nexus 5 with cleared app data.
Simply, when adding compile 'com.google.firebase:firebase-crash:9.4.0' only to project dependencies I get following Exception:
09-14 00:47:54.899 3129-3129/com.szyk.myheart E/FirebaseCrash: Failed to initialize crash reporting

The issue is more stranger, because once it will produce ANR and crash, then it works in next launches.
My dependencies:
compile 'com.google.firebase:firebase-core:9.4.0'
//not working compile 'com.google.firebase:firebase-crash:9.4.0'
compile 'com.google.firebase:firebase-invites:9.4.0'
compile 'com.google.firebase:firebase-ads:9.4.0'
compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-auth:9.4.0'
compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-plus:9.4.0'
compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-drive:9.4.0'

The issue has been introduced with the Google Play Services 9.6.80 (currently in rollout) and affects all the apps using the Firebase Crash reporting (despite of the version bundled in your app).
Temporary solution: disable Firebase Crash by removing the following entry from the build.gradle:
compile 'com.google.firebase:firebase-crash:9.x.x'
Long term solution: wait that Google releases a fixed version of the GPS before enabling Firebase Crash again.
UPDATE 09/16:
Google is rolling out a fixed version of Google Play Services (9.6.83) which addresses the issue with Firebase Crash.

Disable the Firebase Analytics Crash Reporting, use the below code inside app.gradle file.Hope this will help you
configurations {
all*.exclude group: 'com.google.firebase', module: 'firebase-crash'
}

9.6.83 still gives a different anr crash
Our app when pushed to Play Store Beta and when installed on devices crashes the first time on launch. Subsequently it works , but we cannot push to prod without understanding the issue.
Here is the ANR crash report
java.lang.RuntimeException: Unable to instantiate receiver com.google.android.gms.analytics.CampaignTrackingReceiver: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: Didn't find class "com.google.android.gms.analytics.CampaignTrackingReceiver"
Edit : We had to add compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-analytics:9.4.0' explicitly and the launch anr for first time got resolved. But I am not sure that was the fix as we dont use the library at all. Maybe Playstore fixed their bug to all apks?

Just for the record:
We solved the DynamiteModulesC NPE and Uncaught exception in Firebase runloop (3.0.0) by removing following line
//remove this "feature" if you should use it
FirebaseApp.setAutomaticResourceManagmentEnabled(true)
API description:
If set to true it indicates that Firebase should close database
connections automatically when the app is in the background. Disabled
by default.
(Might be, that we missed some configurations for correct usage of this feature, but App is working as expected after not enabling the ResourceManagment)
