NoSuchMethodError: No static method zzb

Question

I just upgraded my Android Studio Version from 2.1 to 2.2.2 and I also upgraded a bunch of other Google dependencies (play services and all support libraries) to version 25.0.0.

I also upgraded gradle version to 2.2.2 and compiledSdkVersion to 25.

Well, I just made everything as up to date as possible.

Now when I run my app, I suddenly get this very weird crash as soon as the app launches.

java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: No static method zzb(Ljava/lang/Object;Ljava/lang/Object;)Ljava/lang/Object; in class Lcom/google/android/gms/common/internal/zzab; or its super classes (declaration of 'com.google.android.gms.common.internal.zzab' appears in /data/app/com.avantcar.a2go-1/base.apk:classes72.dex)

        at com.android.internal.os.ZygoteInit.main(ZygoteInit.java:616)

Has anyone seen this before and knows how to fix it?

Just to confirm, is the app in question a debug or a release build (or something else?) — clownba0t, Nov 13 '16 at 16:23
@clownba0t this happened when I tried to run a debug version directly from Android Studio. — Guy, Nov 13 '16 at 16:24

I also saw this since a couple days ago after updating my sdk. This works for me: Update your firebase library to version 10. You can do this by updating into these lines in build.gradle file:

compile 'com.google.firebase:firebase-core:10.0.0'
compile 'com.google.firebase:firebase-messaging:10.0.0'

You may have different firebase component on your project, so adjust accordingly.

But you can change the version to:

compile 'com.google.firebase:firebase-core:+'
compile 'com.google.firebase:firebase-messaging:+'

The + works somehow but if I specify any version it will not work. I also need to do that for gcm as well. – Pencilcheck Oct 19 '17 at 05:52
