java.lang.NoSuchFieldError: No static field KL of type Lcom/google/android/gms/internal/zzsb$zzb

Question

I'm trying to open a Camera Activity on my Android but I got this error when the Activity starts:

FATAL EXCEPTION: main
  Process: bookreader.bookreader, PID: 19132
 java.lang.NoSuchFieldError: No static field KL of type Lcom/google/android/gms/internal/zzsb$zzb; in class Lcom/google/android/gms/internal/zzsb; or its superclasses (declaration of 'com.google.android.gms.internal.zzsb' appears in /data/app/bookreader.bookreader-1/split_lib_dependencies_apk.apk:classes4.dex)

I don't know how to solve it. In my Android Manifest, I have this:

 <meta-data
            android:name="com.google.android.gms.version"
            android:value="@integer/google_play_services_version" />

Answer 1

make sure everything is up to date inside your build.gradle

no such method/field/class error usually occur because of dependency version mismatch (obfuscated fields names may be different across versions)
