Google Analytics service Intent crashes on Android Oreo

I have upgraded my app to support SDK 26 and now Google Analytics causes crashes when running on Android Oreo:

Fatal Exception: java.lang.RuntimeExcep

Answer 1

I recommend upgrading to play-services version 11.4.0. Add this in your Gradle file:

compile "com.google.android.gms:play-services-analytics:11.4.0

From the Play Services Revision 11.4.0, analytics section:

• Added a new class AnalyticsJobService. This class provides compatibility support for Android O and is used by Analytics to upload data. No action is necessary to use this class, it’s added automatically as part of the Analytics package.
• Deprecated the getContext() method of the AnalyticsService class.
• Deprecated the CampaignTrackingService class.

and also you have to get permission. android:permission="android.permission.BIND_JOB_SERVICE"
