GCM unregister causing the application to crash

Question

I've implemented GCM notifications on my app. I am now trying to un-register the app when the user logs out. I am using the following code. When this code executes, it causes the application to crash with the following logcat:

java.lang.IllegalAccessError: Method 'void android.support.v4.content.ContextCompat.<init>()' is inaccessible to class 'com.google.android.gms.iid.zzd' (declaration of 'com.google.android.gms.iid.zzd' appears in /data/app/com.example.packagename-1/base.apk)

Here is the code:

InstanceID instanceID = InstanceID.getInstance(WelcomeActivity.this);
try {
   instanceID.deleteInstanceID();
   Utility.logCatMsg("Logged Out Success!!!");
} catch (IOException e) {
   Utility.logCatMsg("Exception while logging out: "+e.getMessage());
   e.printStackTrace();
}

I was with same problem after update the support library to 25.0.0 . For me after update the below libs,in the app gradle file, the problem gone.

compile("com.google.android.gms:play-services-location:9.6.1")
compile("com.google.android.gms:play-services-maps:9.6.1")
compile("com.google.android.gms:play-services-gcm:9.6.1")

Solution 2

Update the google play services to the latest version (9.8.0) after updating the android support library to 25.0.0 I had the same problem this morning and this worked for me :)

Not sure this will solve your problem, but it's always a good idea to pass the application Context to third party frameworks, rather than Activity instances, as the latter can lead to memory leaks. Try this instead:

InstanceID instanceID = InstanceID.getInstance(getApplicationContext());

What's the google-services plugin version that you used? I got version conflict error while trying to update 9.6.1.
