Firebase and Socket.io compatibility issue crash my app

Question

Every time add firebase dependencies, run my app and socket connect to endpoint, my app crashes immediately.

I'm using firebase and socket.io together and is causing the crash due to compatibility issues. Can firebase and socket.io be used together?

I get the following error when i added firebase and try to connect to socket.io in my project

My dependencies:

    implementation 'com.google.firebase:firebase-database:19.2.0'
    implementation 'com.google.firebase:firebase-firestore:21.3.0'
    implementation 'com.squareup.okhttp3:okhttp:4.2.2'
    implementation('com.github.nkzawa:socket.io-client:0.6.0') {
        exclude group: 'org.json', module: 'json'
    }

Endpoint

    "https://hubryde-trip-service.herokuapp.com/";
    "https://hubryde-request-service.herokuapp.com/";

Connection. I'm using Application class to create socket model.

        tripSocket = IO.socket(TRIP_URL);
        socket2 = IO.socket(BUS_URL);

        SocketEndpoint app = (SocketEndpoint) getApplication();
        tripSocket = app.getmTripSocket();
        if(!tripSocket.connected()) {
            tripSocket.connect();
        }
        socket2 = app.getmBusLocationSocket();
        if(!socket2.connected()) {
            socket2.connect();
        }
    }

Im also Using com.github.nkzawa:socket.io-client:0.6.0. That crash also happened to me after adding firebase in app messaging module, for me the quick fix (until this will be fixed, hopefully soon..) was to add exclude.. hope it helps..

implementation ('com.google.firebase:firebase-inappmessaging-display:19.0.3') {
    exclude group: 'com.squareup.okhttp', module: 'okhttp'
}

my full gradle file: (Using AndroidX)

implementation 'com.github.nkzawa:socket.io-client:0.6.0'
implementation 'tech.gusavila92:java-android-websocket-client:1.2.2'
implementation  "com.google.firebase:firebase-messaging:20.1.4"
implementation 'com.google.firebase:firebase-core:17.3.0'
implementation 'com.google.firebase:firebase-analytics:17.3.0'
implementation  'com.google.firebase:firebase-auth:19.3.0'
implementation ('com.google.firebase:firebase-inappmessaging-display:19.0.3') {
    exclude group: 'com.squareup.okhttp', module: 'okhttp'
}
