Program type already present: com.google.android.gms.internal.measurement.zzu when adding firebase-perf library

Question

As soon as I add latest version of firebase-perf library it stops compiling with the following error:

Caused by: com.android.tools.r8.utils.AbortException:
Error: Program type already present: com.google.android.gms.internal.measurement.zzu

Note: I am already using latest version of all the available dependencies from android and Firebase.

My project level build.gradle :

buildscript {
    repositories {
        google()
        jcenter()
        maven { url 'https://maven.fabric.io/public' }
        maven {

Answer 1

I solved this problem by removing play-services-analytics from the app level build.gradle .

implementation('com.google.android.gms:play-services-analytics:15.0.2') {
    exclude group: 'com.android.support'

}

It seems like firebase analytics and google analytics can't coexist.
