Workaround
I have face the same issue, it is because a recent update from firebase and play services.
Please, update library com.google.android.gms:play-services-base: 15.0.1 to

compileOnly "com.google.android.gms:play-services-base:16.0.1"

also update in app module and add at the end of file next
com.google.gms.googleservices.GoogleServicesPlugin.config.disableVersionCheck = true

Notice this is not a fix, most at all if you work with CI tools like appcenter. Guys have to update libraries.

The versions on master have since been updated. This will land in v5.1.0, of which I've just published the first RC for,
