not found FirebaseInitProvider in android

Question

I have a problem on android not found (com.google.firebase.provider.FirebaseInitProvider), but I don't use google firebase in my code?

apply plugin: 'com.android.application'

android {
      compileSdkVersion 25
      buildToolsVersion "25.0.2"

      defaultConfig {
             applicationId "XXXXXXXXXXXX"
             minSdkVersion 14
             targetSdkVersion 25
             versionCode 21
             versionName "1.0.10"
             multiDexEnabled true
             testInstrumentationRunner "android.support.test.runner.AndroidJUnitRunner"
      }

      buildTypes {
                release {
                      minifyEnabled false
                      proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
                }
     }
}

dependencies {
    compile fileTree(include: ['*.jar'], dir: 'libs')
androidTestCompile('com.android.support.test.espresso:espresso-core:2.2.2', {
    exclude group: 'com.android.support', module: 'support-annotations'
})
compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:25.0.1'
compile 'com.android.support:design:25.0.1'
compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-maps:10.0.1'

compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services:10.0.1'
compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services:9.0.0'
compile project(':showcase')
testCompile 'junit:junit:4.12'

}

FYI- that's not the real Volley you're using. Its someone's mirror, who may not be up to date or may have malicious code. You should use the official Google version. — Gabe Sechan

This is because you're including the entire Google Play Services which in 10.0.1 also have Firebase as their dependencies. Try running ./gradlew :app:dependencies to see the complete dependency tree

You should limit your Google Play Dependencies to only those you actually need. See https://developers.google.com/android/guides/setup

Also, you shouldn't be using two different play services versions

compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services:10.0.1'

compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services:9.0.0'
