java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: No static method zza(Landroid/content/Context;)V in class Lcom/google/android/gms/common/zzc; its super classes

I'm trying to use firebase-core library in my Android project but it keeps giving me this NoSuchMethodError in my released apk. However, it works fine in emulator. The exception message is this:
java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: No static method zza(Landroid/content/Context;)V in class Lcom/google/android/gms/common/zzc; or its super classes (declaration of 'com.google.android.gms.common.zzc' appears in /data/app/com.xxxx.xxxx/base.apk): com.google.android.gms.measurement.internal.zzfx.zzs(Unknown Source)
I added firebase-core:16.0.7 using Android studio's firebase assistant. And my gradle file is as follow:

Trying to decrease my APK size by removing an unused dependency in gradle

I'm trying to remove a library named ly.img.android:photo-editor-sdk version 1.1.0 that was used earlier in my app, but not used anymore, it wasn't giving any errors when compiled. It compiles fine(lint checking disabled), but when I try to run Vuforia camera(completely independet), it runs on one phone(samsung note edge) but not on another(Samsung S8).
This one library increases the APK size by 12Mb, so I'm looking to remove this one, I couldn't understand why it causes issues.
My app has a single gradle file though, it's been like that since the previous developer who dealt with the app.

It can be caused by your resources which are larger from regular resources. In addition, you can go through this link:https://developer.android.com/studio/build/shrink-code which will help you to minimize the size of your apk.

had u enabled minify in app.gradle file
I found one blog to reduce the apk size in android. i found it is useful.you can try
reduce apk size in android

Whenever we install a new library in our Gradle then the library package comes in the app and thus our app size increases.
So there must be a new library which you have installed
which is making the size of app increasing.
There are mostly only two ways which increases our app size significantly
1 Adding resource file image or audio etc
2 Installing a new library package

Error:(87, 8) error: cannot find symbol method addOnPageChangeListener(<anonymous SimpleOnPageChangeListener>)

My project worked perfectly ( no trouble with the view pager ) until I added 2 new libraries ... things started to get bad, now it returns " cannot find symbol method addOnPageChangeListener" and even if I remove the method from my code it returns "non-zero values 2". I did understand that maybe it comes from duplicated app-support v4 but none of my libraries or projects compile an android app-support v4

issue with actionbarpull's gradle file

I have some build.gradle file this
buildscript {
repositories {
mavenCentral()
}
dependencies {
classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:0.5.+'
}
}
apply plugin: 'android'
dependencies {
compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: '*.jar')
compile 'com.github.chrisbanes.actionbarpulltorefresh:library:+'
}

buildToolsVersion '18'
defaultConfig {
targetSdkVersion 18
}
sourceSets {
main {
manifest.srcFile 'AndroidManifest.xml'
java.srcDirs = ['src']
res.srcDirs = ['res']
}
}
}
that throws this error :
A problem occurred configuring root project 'NewsFeeder'.
> Failed to notify project evaluation listener.
> Could not resolve all dependencies for configuration ':_DebugCompile'.
> Could not find any version that matches com.github.chrisbanes.actionbarpulltorefresh:library:+.
Required by:
:NewsFeeder:unspecified
But, this reference to chrisbanes's actionbarpulltorefresh seems to be correct : https://github.com/chrisbanes/ActionBar-PullToRefresh/wiki/QuickStart-Stock. How can it be since in this project is available in [maven central repo][1] ?
For information, I set in some local.propertiesfile sdk.dir=/home/adt-bundle-mac-x86_64-20130522/sdk, which is the same that what echo $ANDROID_SDK returns

You need to tell gradle where it can look to find the dependency. If you want gradle to use the mavenCentral repository then add this to your build.gradle file:
repositories {
mavenCentral()
}
The buildscript repositories is just for the build script dependencies, not project dependencies. You want to add the repositories entry at the outer most, or project, level.
Your build.gradle would look like:
buildscript {
repositories {
mavenCentral()
}
dependencies {
classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:0.5.+'
}
}
apply plugin: 'android'
repositories {
mavenCentral()
}
dependencies {
compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: '*.jar')
compile 'com.github.chrisbanes.actionbarpulltorefresh:library:+'
}
android {
compileSdkVersion 18
buildToolsVersion '18'
defaultConfig {
targetSdkVersion 18
}
sourceSets {
main {
manifest.srcFile 'AndroidManifest.xml'
java.srcDirs = ['src']
res.srcDirs = ['res']
}
}
}

Is your Foo project in /Foo or /foo folder (note the upper case)? You may need to correct the include 'foo' to 'Foo'?
If that doesn't work, please paste the info or debug output of your Gradle build. If you're running AndroidStudio and don't have any output, go to the root of your project and run gradlew.bat assembleDebug --info (on Wins) or ./gradlew assembleDebug --info (on Linux/Mac) or --debug and paste the output here so we can see what went wrong exactly.
