[Bug Report] NoSuchMethodError: No static method encodeBase64String from Base64

[MacKey-255]

Hello, I have a problem with Android 7 with Base64 method from 'org.apache.commons.codec.binary.Base64'. I tested with com.microsoft.azure.sdk.iot:iot-service-client:1.28.0 and com.microsoft.azure.sdk.iot:iot-service-client:2.1.6, and both throw the same exception :(

Code

Using iot-service-client:1.28.0 and It is practically the same as the current version (2.1.6):

class IoTHubClient {
    private fun getDevice(deviceId: String, connection: String): Device? {
        val registry = RegistryManager.createFromConnectionString(connection)
        return try {
            registry.getDevice(deviceId)
        } catch (e: IotHubNotFoundException) {
            registry.addDevice(Device.createDevice(deviceId, AuthenticationType.SAS))
        } catch (e: Exception) {
            e.printStackTrace()
            null
        }
    }

    fun setup(deviceId: String, connection: String) {
        // ...

        val device = getDevice(deviceId, connection)
            ?: throw IotHubNotFoundException("Device not found")

        // ...
    }
}

Exception (iot-service-client:1.28.0):
