I couldn’t make it work with your last suggestion.
Test projects for Fire .2351 and Android Studio are attached. Fire fails on ProviderInstaller.installIfNeeded in MainActivity.onCreate, while Android Studio works. However, if I exclude com.android.support from build.gradle in Android Studio, the project won’t even compile. If I add <ExcludeGradleDependency Include="com.android.support" /> to the Fire project, it will compile but with 197 hints. TBH I have no idea if Fire problem is even related to conflict between android support library and Google Play Services, but both projects are configured similarly (I think) so I hope you’ll be able to make something out of them.
Oh, and breakpoints in Fire project still don’t work. They work most of the time in my app’s project if I rebuild it, but after a few runs they eventually stop working until next rebuild. If I create a new project (like the one attached) I can’t make any breakpoint work, even if I rebuild the project multiple times.

Update - the 197 compiling hints are related to Google Play Services dependencies, not excluded com.android.support dependency.
