After moving my project to another computer, when trying to run the code (The exact same working code from the first computer), the application crashes.
This is the error in the console:

I searched for other people with the same problem, and most answers were about not compiling play-services as a whole but only the parts needed, but I already had it that way
apply plugin: 'com.android.application'
android {

buildToolsVersion "25.0.0" /* TODO: Check 25.0.3 */
/* Before update - 24.0.2 */

}

Maybe the problem is here: My package name is com.dean.booktown
not com.dean.booktown-1
if that really is the problem, where do I find the mistake to fix it, and why did it happen in the first place?
Thank you very much,
Dean
