Firebase crash while using GCM

Question

I'm facing a very weird issue. I just upgraded my play-services dependencies from version 10.0.1 to 10.2.0

I'm using these now:

compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-maps:10.2.0'
compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-location:10.2.0'
compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-gcm:10.2.0'

Now my app crashes every time I receiver a push notification. Notification is displayed and right after that I get a dialog saying that my app stopped working.

Crash LOG

It seems like it's crashing because of something related to FCM, but I am not using FCM in my app yet. I'm still using GCM.

Do you import any of the Firebase libraries? Like firebase-messaging, or firebase-core. If you do, you need to update those to 10.2.0 as well. — Joao Sousa, Feb 24 '17 at 11:50
No, I do use Smooch though, which apparently also supports FCM, but I commented out all of Smooch code, but it still crashes. I updated every possible library to 10.2.0 — Guy, Feb 24 '17 at 12:25
Well try importing them then. You shouldn't really use GCM anyway. It looks like something internally is trying to call a method via reflection only available through FCM, so add `compile 'com.google.firebase:firebase-core:10.2.0'` and `compile 'com.google.firebase:firebase-messaging:10.2.0'` to your app.gradle — Joao Sousa, Feb 24 '17 at 12:34
Thing is that I wasn't planning on migrating to FCM just yet. As far as I understand, migrating to FCM requires generating new API keys, also some work on backend etc. Or am I wrong here? — Guy, Feb 24 '17 at 12:42
You're not wrong. Some backend work is needed, although it is very straightforward. — Joao Sousa, Feb 24 '17 at 14:31
can you print and add to the question the list of app dependencies? ./gradlew app:dependencies — Diego Giorgini, Feb 24 '17 at 15:24

I had the same issue and it was because I was using a different version for messaging, so try to use the same version on all firebase related dependencies.

Sorry for forgetting to accept the answer. This is not exactly what was my problem, but it brought me to the solution. I was indeed using incompatible Firebase versions. – Guy Sep 22 '17 at 12:05

You may want to please check your Android API level.

As mentioned in Google APIs for Android - Release Notes, updating your Google Play Services to 10.2 will require a minimum Android API level of 14.

Here are additional articles/SO post that will also help:

using google play services 10.2.0 and the same for firebase messaging worked for me.

compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-auth:10.2.0'
compile 'com.google.firebase:firebase-messaging:10.2.0'

for me this configuration

compile 'com.google.firebase:firebase-messaging:10.0.1'
compile 'com.google.firebase:firebase-auth:10.0.0'

fixes multi dupex gradle compilation error on AndroidStudio 2.3.3.
