I figured the culprit here. It happens when minifyEnabled is set to true. So just disable it and it should fix

I commented these on my app/build.gradle and now works

buildTypes {
        release {
                .........
                minifyEnabled false // set this to false to prevent java.lang.NoSuchFieldException
