When I add a permission in android manifest.xml my app stops

Question

I was working on google maps when I added permissions in android manifest.xml, now my app has stopped. Before doing that my app was working fine. I enabled multiDexEnabled true . By doing this it removes this error but my app still stops. Please help me, I've spent a lot of time on this but can't.

gradle.build

apply plugin: 'com.android.application'  
android {

compileSdkVersion 25
buildToolsVersion "24.0.3"
defaultConfig {
    applicationId "com.shah.myapplication1"
    minSdkVersion 19
    targetSdkVersion 25
    versionCode 1
    versionName "1.0"
    multiDexEnabled true
    testInstrumentationRunner       "android.support.test.runner.AndroidJUnitRunner"
    }

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

dependencies {
    compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])
    androidTestCompile('com.android.support.test.espresso:espresso-core:2.2.2', {
        exclude group: 'com.android.support', module: 'support-annotations'
    })
    compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:25.0.0'
    compile 'com.android.support:design:25.0.0'
    testCompile 'junit:junit:4.12'
    compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services:9.6.1'
}

These are the permission which I added.

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE"/>

Answer 1

I notice that the crash is related to Firebase. Try adding this to your app-level build.gradle under dependencies :

compile 'com.google.firebase:firebase-core:10.0.1'

And put this at the bottom of your app-level build.gradle :

// ADD THIS AT THE BOTTOM
apply plugin: 'com.google.gms.google-services'

Your multidex configuration is going for a toss. Please go through the following link - MultiDex documentation

Specially pay attention to the section multidexkeepfile and multidexkeepproguard config
