BranchSDK crashes with com.google.firebase:firebase-appindexing:20.0.0

[yog27ray]

I am using the following repository versions

implementation 'io.branch.sdk.android:library:5.0.15'

implementation 'com.google.firebase:firebase-appindexing:20.0.0'

When I install a fresh application on the device, on opening for the first time and calling listOnGoogleSearch() the app crashes with the below error.

java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: No static method getInstance()Lcom/google/firebase/appindexing/FirebaseUserActions; in class Lcom/google/firebase/appindexing/FirebaseUserActions; or its super classes (declaration of 'com.google.firebase.appindexing.FirebaseUserActions' appears in /data/app/package.name.here-gWpKaUpSbBtSbilPWelP2Q==/base.apk!classes18.dex)
