Could not find class 'com.google.firebase.FirebaseOptions'

I have a working app and everything was working well, but when I updated it with MoPub app and generated a new signed APK and uploaded it to the play store some users reported a crash while it works well on other users' devices.

I tested the app a lot on different devices and finally found a device that it crashed on.

I debugged the app and found this error code in the android monitor

But I was shocked because I didn't use any Firebase api so why is this happening and what is the solution? I'd be happy for any help from someone.

I resolved the problem.

The problem was that their is an error in firebase including latest google play services 9.0.2

So i choose only the google play services that i need and not the whole services excluding (firebase) and everything works well

To setup google services by what you need and don't include the whole services visit this link

Thanks, I had also compiled the multidex class to solve my problem but it made my application a little heavier, now it is better optimized!

This is to compile only the google services that you are going to use and not all with the compile statement 'com.google.android.gms: play-services: 9.0.0'

Now my gradle file looks like this 

//compile 'com.android.support:multidex:1.0.0'
//compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services:9.0.0'
compile 'com.google.firebase:firebase-messaging:9.0.0'
compile 'com.google.firebase:firebase-core:9.0.0'
compile 'com.google.firebase:firebase-database:9.0.0'
compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-location:9.0.0'
