Firebase Storage PutFile Kotlin Crashing

Question

My goal is to try upload a photo that I have selected from Photo Library or Camera captured, to Firebase Storage into a bucket/folder called ProfilePictures.

Everything works absolutely fine at first, I have used Picasso to assign the image to ImageView and Intent for Camera, except for when I call uploadPhoto(). The application crashes and relaunches on fileReference.putFile(imageUri)....

Here is my manifest:

 <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" />
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" />
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.CAMERA" />
    <uses-permission android:name="com.google.android.apps.photos.permission.GOOGLE_PHOTOS"/>
    <uses-feature android:name="android.hardware.camera"
            android:required="true" />

I am using Firebase Storage version, which is in my build.gradle file -> implementation 'com.google.firebase:firebase-storage:16.0.4'

Here is my code:

    private var mStorageRef = FirebaseStorage.getInstance().getReference("profilePictures")

private fun uploadFile(name: String, callback: ()->Unit) {
        if (selectedProfileImage != null) {
            val imageUri = selectedProfileImage ?: return
            var fileReference = mStorageRef.child(name + "." + getFileExtension(imageUri))
            println(fileReference)
            fileReference.putFile(imageUri).addOnSuccessListener {
                    println("Profile Image upload Successful")
                    callback()
                }.addOnFailureListener {
                    println("Profile image upload failed")
                    println(it.stackTrace)
                    println(it.localizedMessage)
                    callback()
                }

        } else {
            println("No profile picture selected")
            callback()
        }
    }

Here is my stack trace:

Add you logcat stack trace so that we can identify the actual problem — Md. Asaduzzaman, Dec 03 '19 at 13:43
If the app crashes, there is a stack trace. Please look that up on logcat, and add it to your question. Please also respond with @AlexMamo — Alex Mamo, Dec 03 '19 at 14:00
@AlexMamo the stack trace is not in the question - I had logcat set to 'Show only selected application' so was clearing when crashed. — Elliot Fisher, Dec 03 '19 at 14:27
Thanks @AlexMamo, I've fixed the problem now as shown in the answer. — Elliot Fisher, Dec 03 '19 at 14:39

Problem is solved. I used Firebase tool in Android Studio to setup Storage which in turn added the implementation in my build.gradle app file to version 16.0.4.

After finding -> java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: No virtual method setTokenProvider

I then looked at the Firebase Android release notes: https://firebase.google.com/support/release-notes/android

By changing the version to 19.1.0 the code now works.

implementation 'com.google.firebase:firebase-storage:19.1.0'
