android - Firestore crashing app with new dependencies

Question

Yesterday I updated the dependencies of Firestore with 17.1.1 and Google Services with 4.1.0. Now while launching the app it crashes.

Note:

If I change Google Services to 4.0.2, the Firestore initializes properly and the app works as expected.

classpath 'com.google.gms:google-services:4.0.2'

Update:

Changing to 4.2.0 works.

Logs:

Default FirebaseApp failed to initialize because no default options were found. This usually means that com.google.gms:google-services was not applied to your gradle project.
... I/FirebaseInitProvider: FirebaseApp initialization unsuccessful

Error:
