Failed resolution of: Lcom/google/firebase/messaging/FirebaseMessagingService

Question

I'm struggling to solve the following issue:

Failed resolution of: Lcom/google/firebase/messaging/FirebaseMessagingService

Here is my Log:

Im using Xamarin Forms 3.1.0.583944 with Microsoft.AppCenter.Push 1.8.0, Android API 27

I have researched and applied possible solutions (double/triple checked):

• Deleted Bin/Obj folders
• Enabled Multi-Dex
• Updated Google Play Services

NOTHING WORKED

Update: Issue comes when I try to configure the AppCenter Push:

AppCenter.Start(AppConfig.AppCenterAndroidKey, typeof(Analytics), typeof(Crashes), typeof(Push));

Push.SetEnabledAsync(AppConfig.EnablePush);

Update 1 : Downgraded the Microsoft AppCenter and Push to 1.7 and it is working for me.
