IidCompatibilityCheckFailure lint check fails with a null pointer exception (NPE)...

Using bom 25.4.1 and Iid 20.2.0

The check failed to run as it encountered unknown failure. This is most likely caused by a new version of Android Gradle Plugin that this check does not support. Please make sure your build does not depend on firebase-iid version earlier than 20.1.1 as it will cause issues. 

[REQUIRED] Step 2: Describe your environment

• Android gradle plugin 4.0.0
• Firebase Component: bom 25.4.1 and Iid 20.2.0

[REQUIRED] Step 3: Describe the problem

Steps to reproduce:

Run lintRelease

Seems to be related to dagger 2.28, or Google places SDK 2.3.0 or androidtimesquare lib 1.7.10
