  <p>Commenting out this line in the app/build.gradle</p>
  <pre><code>//    implementation 'com.google.firebase:firebase-analytics:17.4.4'
  </code></pre>
  <p>causes the problem to go away and the app starts normally.</p>
  <p>Does
  <pre>&quot;AndroidRuntime: FATAL EXCEPTION: ScionFrontendApi&quot;</pre>
  mean anything to anyone?</p>
  <p>How about this:
  'java.lang.NoSuchFieldError: No static field PREFER_LOCAL of type
  Lcom/google/android/gms/dynamite/DynamiteModule$VersionPolicy;
  in class Lcom/google/android/gms/dynamite/DynamiteModule'
  ?</p>
