java.lang.IncompatibleClassChangeError: TextInputLayout.updatePasswordToggleView()

Question

I'm having a very disturbing experience where every instance of TextInputLayout crashes only in the release version of my app . Doesn't crash if I use AppCompatEditText. Doesn't crash in debug version.

 java.lang.IncompatibleClassChangeError: 
    The method 'void android.support.design.widget.TextInputLayout.updatePasswordToggleView()' 
    was expected to be of type direct but instead was found to be of type virtual

XML-LAYOUT

<android.support.design.widget.TextInputLayout
    android:id="@+id/pwdLayout"
    android:layout_width="0dp"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="parent"
    android:layout_marginStart="@dimen/_8sdp"
    android:layout_marginEnd="@dimen/_8sdp"
    android:layout_marginLeft="@dimen/_8sdp"
    android:layout_marginRight="@dimen/_8sdp"
    app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent"
    app:layout_constraintTop_toBottomOf="@+id/emailLayout"
    app:passwordToggleEnabled="true">
    <android.support.design.widget.TextInputEditText
      android:id="@+id/password"
      android:layout_width="match_parent"
      android:layout_height="wrap_content"
      android:hint="@string/login_password_hint"/>
  </android.support.design.widget.TextInputLayout>

Any ideas what might be going on? Thank you. I have gone from 27.1.1 to 26.1.1 support version and error still persists.

I think it is more easy:

create a new clean project
try it there and find out the the differences (there can be some incompatible options in the current project gradle files we wouldn't notice)

Good luck

by the way I tried your xml in the my project - it is working in the both configs ) – Hovanes Mosoyan Jul 23 '18 at 08:05
I'm lost really. It just came up with this and it's shocking. Done several release builds with no issues and this just pops from nowhere. Creating it in a new project will just be crazy. – Mbuodile Obiosio Jul 23 '18 at 08:15
for that reason I always use some repository like SVN to keep different changes there and go back if needed ) – Hovanes Mosoyan Jul 23 '18 at 08:34
Yeah I use gitlab. I'm trying all those out but it's simple fact that I haven't done anything about that layout or activity for several weeks now. – Mbuodile Obiosio Jul 23 '18 at 08:36
please check the com.android.support:support-compat version in the gradle and try to use the corresponding one – Hovanes Mosoyan Jul 23 '18 at 08:38
