Why FirebaseUI logging assert A/FirebaseApp: Firebase API initialization failure eventhough I can run the application normaly?

Question

I want to ask about why FirebaseUI logging the assert A/FirebaseApp: Firebase API initialization failure eventhough I can run the app normaly?

in my dependency, I only use compile: 'com.firebaseui:firebase-ui:0.6.2' and nothing else.

I used GridView and RecyclerView each in 2 different Activities using the FirebaseListAdapter and FirebaseRecyclerAdapter.

But, there is always this assert in my android monitor:

10-29 23:38:44.099 25919-25919/com.xenolang.xenolang A/FirebaseApp: Firebase API initialization failure.

The same call stack was posted in this question:http://stackoverflow.com/q/37396973/4815718. Try looking at some of the answers there. The question is old, but might gives you some clues. — Bob Snyder, Oct 29 '16 at 20:28
I already look at that answer before and it didn't work, maybe because the other question only using firebase while I use firebaseUI which already has the needed dependencies and I only need to one dependency of firebaseUI and didn't use anything. And while he got an error, I only got an assertion. — j.elmer, Oct 30 '16 at 12:00
sorry for the inconvenience, I already add the `build.gradle` files. thank you for your response — j.elmer, Oct 30 '16 at 14:22

The device or emulator you are using has an old version of Google Play Services. FirebaseUI 0.6.2 uses version 9.8.0 of the Firebase APIs. They require the latest version of Google Play Services, which is 9.8.77.

Your logcat output probably contains a warning similar to this:

W/GooglePlayServicesUtil: Google Play services out of date.  Requires 9877000 but found 9875480
