Answer 1

Step 1:

This kind of error throw the some logs. Read it carefully to find out which dependency cause this issue

Step 2:

Update that dependency to latest version.

For ex: In my case it throw the error in material design dependency. I just update that dependency to latest version - problem solved

My error log - Didn't find class "com.google.android.material.tabs........"

Answer 2

I had the same issue and I solved it.Update all your com.google.android.gms:play-services dependencies to 15.0.0. It should look like this:

implementation 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-maps:15.0.0'
implementation 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-auth:15.0.0'
implementation 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-location:15.0.0'
implementation 'com.google.android.gms:play-services:15.0.0'
implementation 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-ads:15.0.0'

Once you do that, it should fix the issue with finding the NoClassDefFoundError error (at least it did for me).

Answer 3

I received the same error even with the 'zzbq;' at the end

In app build.gradle I had to update my com.google.firebase:firebase-core to 16.0.1 to match the same line in the react-native-firebase build.gradle

Example:

app/build.gradle

implementation 'com.google.firebase:firebase-core:16.0.1'

react-native-firebase/android/build.gradle

compileOnly "com.google.firebase:firebase-core:16.0.1"

Answer 4

Try adding this dependency to your gradle file:

implementation 'com.android.support:multidex:1.0.3'

Also you should use the same versions for the support and play services libraries. And you should avoid using "+" for latest version. Change this part:

implementation 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-maps:+'
implementation 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-auth:12.0.1'
implementation 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-location:12.0.1'
implementation 'com.google.android.gms:play-services:+'
implementation 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-ads:+'

into this:

implementation 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-maps:12.0.1'
implementation 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-auth:12.0.1'
implementation 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-location:12.0.1'
implementation 'com.google.android.gms:play-services:12.0.1'
implementation 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-ads:12.0.1'

EDIT: You may also add this part to your app level gradle file and try again. I did not see anyone tried this but it may work.

allprojects {
    repositories {
       //...
    }

    subprojects {
        project.configurations.all {
            resolutionStrategy.eachDependency { details ->
                if (details.requested.group == 'com.google.android.gms'
                && !details.requested.name.contains('multidex') ) {
                    details.useVersion "12.0.1"
                }
            }
        }
    }
}

2ND UPDATE: Just seen this, the dependency below, covers all the others, then it may cause a duplication issue. Remove the other dependencies and leave this one:

implementation 'com.google.android.gms:play-services:12.0.1'

Answer 5

I solved it by removing

implementation "com.google.android.gms:play-services:$play_service_version"

and keeping only important dependencies.

In my case I had

implementation "com.google.android.gms:play-services:$play_service_version"
implementation "com.google.android.gms:play-services-location:$play_service"

And I removed

implementation "com.google.android.gms:play-services:$play_service_version"

and kept

implementation "com.google.android.gms:play-services-location:$play_service"

Here play_service_version & play_service are versions

Answer 6

I had exactly the same problem. I tried quite a few things, but here's what actually helped.

I added this to my project: implementation 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-base:16.0.1'.

The error went away.

Then I removed it. Everything was still fine. Cleaned the project - still no error.

Don't ask me for logic behind this, it just worked for me, that's all I know.
