I'm facing java.lang.NoSuchFieldError error while using Firebase products.

App crashes randomly, once per several launches and I don't see any visible reasons for that.

Crashlytics recognizes as two separate issues:

First:

Fatal Exception: java.lang.NoSuchFieldError

No field PREFER_HIGHEST_OR_REMOTE_VERSION_NO_FORCE_STAGING of type Lcom/google/android/gms/dynamite/DynamiteModule$VersionPolicy; in class Lcom/google/android/gms/dynamite/DynamiteModule; or its superclasses (declaration of 'com.google.android.gms.dynamite.DynamiteModule' appears in /data/app/com.myjob.exchange-1/base.apk:classes2.dex)

com.google.android.gms.flags.FlagValueProvider.initialize (Unknown Source)

com.google.android.gms.flags.FlagRegistry.initialize (Unknown Source)

android.os.HandlerThread.run (HandlerThread.java:61)

Second:

Fatal Exception: java.lang.NoSuchFieldError

No static field PREFER_HIGHEST_OR_REMOTE_VERSION_NO_FORCE_STAGING of type Lcom/google/android/gms/dynamite/DynamiteModule$VersionPolicy; in class Lcom/google/android/gms/dynamite/DynamiteModule; or its superclasses (declaration of 'com.google.android.gms.dynamite.DynamiteModule' appears in /data/app/com.myjob.exchange-rCklgf0d6JLM3ymH4dG31Q==/base.apk:classes3.dex)

com.google.android.gms.flags.FlagValueProvider.initialize (Unknown Source:7)

com.google.android.gms.flags.FlagRegistry.initialize (Unknown Source:4)

android.os.HandlerThread.run (HandlerThread.java:65)

I wonder what could be the causing reason, at least what library.

Any help appreciated.

Found an answer in this post: https://blog.jakelee.co.uk/tokenrefresher-fatal-crash-when-using-firebaseui/

Talking shortly - this fixed the issue:
Update com.firebaseui:firebase-ui-auth dependency to 4.2.1 from 4.1.0
