Before I have submitted the issue

[x] I have read an installation guide
[x] I know that for an iOS I need to install pods because I've read the installation guide
[x] I have read a linking guide and checked that everything is OK like in manual linking guide
[x] I know that before using tipsi-stripe I need to set options for my app as described in usage guide

Sorry for creating this issue. I could fix this problem by adding these lines to android/app/build.gradle:

    implementation 'com.android.support:design:27.1.0'
    compile 'com.android.support:multidex:1.0.3'
    compile (project(':tipsi-stripe')) {
        exclude group: 'com.google.android.gms'
        exclude group: 'com.google.firebase'
        }
}

and also adding multiDexEnabled true to defaultConfig

Out of curiosity,

I'm glad to hear it :) It cost me whole day of frustration.
I found the solution in one of the past GitHub issues but right now I can't remember exactly where.
