The android project runs without problem on Samsung S7 API 24, Nexus 6 API 24, API 23 Emulator, Pixel API 23 and Galaxy Note 23 API emulators.
When I run it on devices or emulators with API 22 or 21, the following exception is thrown the first time App is launched.

I found the way to fix this. It should be a multidex issue. When I reduce the number of dependencies, this problem no longer happens.
In the end I changed
compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services:10.0.1'
to
compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-maps:10.0.1'
as I only need maps and kept all other dependencies.
Still not sure why it behaves like this as clearly API 23 and 24 deals with Multidex in a different way from API 22 and below.
Hope this helps anyone with similar problem.
