React-native-firebase: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: Failed resolution of: Lcom/google/android/gms/internal/zzbgl;

Issue

This happens when I run the app in android after a successful build with 'react-native run-android'.

Java exception in 'NativeModules'

 * bundle directly from the development server. Below you can see all the possible configurations
 * and their defaults. If you decide to add a configuration block, make sure to add it before the
 * `apply from: "../../node_modules/react-native/react.gradle"` line.

Could we take a look at your android/app/src/main/java/com/[app name]/MainApplication.java file?

Chaging version of firebase-messaging to 17.3.4 solved the issue.

implementation 'com.google.firebase:firebase-messaging:17.3.4'

Thank you for the support
