Unable to load firebase Init provider - android studio

I cant solve this bug for many days. It happens only when I connect firebase realtime database.

I tried this and it seemed to work. Go to your gradle and comment out this line:
implementation platform('com.google.firebase:firebase-bom:29.0.3')
Use this one:
implementation platform('com.google.firebase:firebase-bom:27.0.0')
I had FMS working on one project and tried to fold it back into another, but got the same error. After a bunch of unsuccessful searches, I tried making changes to each setting to mirror the first project and this one seemed to work.

Error when running Unity Project (Vuforia) as a library in Android Studio

Im trying to run Unity Project using Vuforia as a library in Android studio. I have added a button that will go to the UnityPlayerActivity. The apps running just fine but after i clicked the button. Only the unity logo appeared and the screen goes black.

How to avoid appcrashes in Android 9 with AmazonSNSClient?

In Android 9 (API 28) my App crashes when creating a new AmazonSNSClient (in API 26 I don't get any errors):
AmazonSNSClient pushClient = new AmazonSNSClient(credentialsProvider);

I found out that I can avoid the error if I don't exclude "commons-logging" from "com.amazonaws:aws-android-sdk-sns" in my build.gradle, so I replaced:
implementation 'com.amazonaws:aws-android-sdk-sns:2.2.0', {
exclude module: 'commons-logging'
}
with:
implementation 'com.amazonaws:aws-android-sdk-sns:2.2.0'
The app works fine now but I can't build a signed APK because I get
the error "DuplicatePlatformClasses: Duplicate Platform Classes" and
my Lint Report says:
commons-logging defines classes that conflict with classes now
provided by Android. Solutions include finding newer versions or
alternative libraries that don't have the same problem (for example,
for httpclient use HttpUrlConnection or okhttp instead), or
repackaging the library using something like jarjar. There are a
number of libraries that duplicate not just functionality of the
Android platform but using the exact same class names as the ones
provided in Android -- for example the apache http classes. This can
lead to unexpected crashes.
To solve this, you need to either find a newer version of the library
which no longer has this problem, or to repackage the library (and all
of its dependencies) using something like the jarjar tool, or finally,
rewriting the code to use different APIs (for example, for http code,
consider using HttpUrlConnection or a library like okhttp). Note: This
issue has an associated quickfix operation in Android Studio and
IntelliJ IDEA. To suppress this error, use the issue id
"DuplicatePlatformClasses" as explained in the Suppressing Warnings
and Errors section.
So I ran "gradlew app:dependencies > dependencies.txt" in the terminal in my project folder and found out that "com.amazonaws:aws-android-sdk-sns:2.2.0" uses "commons-logging:commons-logging:1.1.1" but I can also find "commons-logging:commons-logging:1.2" which is "provided by Android" I guess?
So why does "com.amazonaws:aws-android-sdk-sns:2.2.0" not use "commons-logging:commons-logging:1.2" if I exclude "commons-logging:commons-logging:1.1.1" and how can I fix this issue?

I could solve the error by updating "com.amazonaws:aws-android-sdk-sns:2.2.0" to a newer version (in my case "com.amazonaws:aws-android-sdk-sns:2.9.1").
The NoClassDefFoundError in Android 9 is also tracked in this issue:

So you see what is the problem?
Thanks !!!

I had an identical problem, I think, and it turned out that the .apk on the device was corrupted. Maybe by an internal flash storage (hardware) problem?
This is what I did:
Turn on Developer Settings on the device (by tapping the Build Number seven times in the About screen of Settings).
From the Developer Settings menu that appeared, turn on USB Debugging.
Connect to a PC with adb installed.
Find the path of the existing Google Play Services apk on the device, with adb shell pm path com.google.android.gms
Use that path to pull the existing apk from the device, to check it, with adb pull /data/app/com.google.android.gms-1/base.apk (replace the path here with what you got at point 4).
Check if the apk is broken, by changing its extension to .zip, and doing a zip integrity test. In my case it said classes2.dex bad CRC.
Download a good apk from somewhere trusted. Another identical device would be perfect, but I didn't have one, so I got mine from apkmirror.com (make sure you pick the right variant, there are a number of them for the same version number). The one I downloaded had the same number of bytes as the one pulled from the phone, but a segment of data inside was different.
Install the downloaded apk with adb install -r <downloaded file>.
Reboot the device.
That's it. Everything worked after this.

One Reason of your problem can be 'You upgraded your google play service version in your dependency'
In 9.0.2, the 'places' library was inside 'location' library. In 9.2.0, you need to add 'places' library as dependency:
compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-places:9.2.0'
Also,for play service 9.2.0 places import has changed from
import com.google.android.gms.location.places;
to
import com.google.android.gms.location.places.Place;
or you need all places folder
import com.google.android.gms.location.places.*;
