Can't use the ML Kit in android development

Question

I'm trying to implement face detection in my Kotlin + Firebase app. I followed the ML Kit tutorial available in the ML site, but I keep getting an error related to the implementation in:

java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: Failed resolution of: Lcom/google/android/gms/common/internal/TelemetryLoggingOptions;
    at com.google.android.gms.internal.mlkit_vision_face.zzli.<init>(com.google.android.gms:play-services-mlkit-face-detection@@16.1.5:2)

    at com.google.mlkit.vision.face.FaceDetection.getClient(com.google.android.gms:play-services-mlkit-face-detection@@16.1.5:3)

I tried to use both ways

implementation 'com.google.mlkit:face-detection:16.0.6'

implementation 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-mlkit-face-detection:16.1.5' with the meta-data added in manifest:

<meta-data
          android:name="com.google.mlkit.vision.DEPENDENCIES"
          android:value="face" />

In both ways, I get the same error. Does anyone knows how to solve it?

This is the gradle:

apply plugin: "com.android.dynamic-feature"
apply plugin: 'kotlin-android'
apply plugin: 'kotlin-android-extensions'
apply plugin: 'kotlin-kapt'
apply from: '../version_control.gradle'

android {

    defaultConfig {

        versionCode 1
        versionName "1.0"

        testInstrumentationRunner "androidx.test.runner.AndroidJUnitRunner"
    }

    kotlinOptions {
        jvmTarget = JavaVersion.VERSION_1_8.toString()
    }

    }

you dont need to specify a version when you don't know the version that works great , simply implementation platform('com.google.firebase:firebase-bom:29.1.0') leave the other configuration

Do you have com.google.android.gms:play-services-base dependency in your app? Could you try to use the latest version of it? which is: com.google.android.gms:play-services-base:17.6.0

Both 'com.google.mlkit:face-detection:16.0.6' and 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-mlkit-face-detection:16.1.5' pull in 'play-service-base:17.6.0' in their pom files. Is it because in somewhere you force to pull in a lower version of play-service-base? – jack Apr 20 '21 at 18:57
I tried to insert the com.google.android.gms:play-services-base:17.6.0, but the error persists – Apr 20 '21 at 19:02
Could you try "rm -rf ~/.m2/repository" to see if the old com.google.android.gms:play-services-base is somehow getting used due to cache? – Chenxi Song Apr 20 '21 at 19:13
how do I try this? Can you explain for me? I'm new to android development – Apr 20 '21 at 19:14
Could you paste your entire build.gradle here so we can get more information? – jack Apr 20 '21 at 19:33
Guys, it worked! A friend of mine helped me with this, and he changed the version of the 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-mlkit-face-detection:16.1.5' to 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-mlkit-face-detection:16.1.2', and somehow it worked. Thanks for trying to help me! – Apr 20 '21 at 19:37

Glad it worked. However could you still provide your build.gradle to help us on why 16.1.5 doesn't work? Thanks! – jack Apr 20 '21 at 19:41
Yes, I pasted the gradle – Apr 20 '21 at 20:21
The build.gradle looks good. Could you check whether it has special setup in 1) your base project. 2) your "../version_control.gradle"? It would be helpful if you can also paste it here. Thanks! – jack Apr 20 '21 at 21:22
