ConstraintLayout Guidelines crash after introducing com.firebaseui:firebase-ui-auth:3.2.2 dependency

AndroidPat commented 6 years ago

Android device: Samsung S7 Edge (SM-G935F)
Android OS version: Android 7.0
Google Play Services version: 12.2.21
Firebase/Play Services SDK version: 3.2.2
FirebaseUI version: 11.8.0

Describe the problem and Steps to reproduce:

The app crashes after adding implementation 'com.firebaseui:firebase-ui-auth:3.2.2' to the project. The erros comes from layouts where ConstraintLayout Guideline is used. The guidelines are used in the RecyclerView line item layouts and I use 'com.firebaseui:firebase-ui-firestore:3.2.2' to populate these views. Removing the guidelines solves the problem. The problem only occurs if implementation 'com.firebaseui:firebase-ui-auth:3.2.2' is present.
