err message : Make sure to call FirebaseApp.initializeApp(Context) first

Question

I can't initialize Firebase app first

I added these plug-in on gradle:app

implementation 'com.google.firebase:firebase-core:16.0.1'
implementation 'com.google.firebase:firebase-auth:16.0.3'

(I tried to make them same version)

apply plugin: 'com.google.gms.google-services'

Also I added it to gradle:project

classpath 'com.google.gms:google-services:4.1.0'

Last, I Added it to onCreate() in MainActivity

FirebaseApp.initializeApp(this);

<<<< AndroidManifest >>>>

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

I expected it worked correctly. But after the app installed, it even doesn't show the MainActivity

the error Message are these :

Answer 1

Change this line

classpath 'com.google.gms:google-services:4.1.0'

With this line

classpath 'com.google.gms:google-services:4.2.0'

I think there is a bug with google play services version 4.1.0
