FirebaseCrashlytics: Trust anchor for certification path not found

Question

So I followed the Firebase Android guide for Crashlytics, but this happens:

E/FirebaseCrashlytics: Settings request failed.
    javax.net.ssl.SSLHandshakeException: java.security.cert.CertPathValidatorException: Trust anchor for certification path not found.

I tried both release and debug builds, both do not work. What do I need to do that the guide didn't mention?
