Google Cloud PubSub 0.40 and google cloud logging logback 0.40 interferes and creates JRE fatal error

[sceee]

I try to use both google-cloud-pubsub and google-cloud-logging-logback in the same project but if I include both dependencies
compile group: 'com.google.cloud', name: 'google-cloud-pubsub', version:'0.40.0-beta'
compile group: 'com.google.cloud', name: 'google-cloud-logging-logback', version: '0.40.0-alpha'
in the gradle build file, the JRE crashes with a fatal error at the line when I try to start the subscriber:

subscriber.startAsync();

subscriber is a com.google.cloud.pubsub.v1.Subscriber.

This is the excerpt of the JRE fatal error log:

#

If I remove the logback dependency, it works and the JRE does not crash so I assume there is a dependency conflict between the grpc-netty versions used by both.

I have reproduced it on google-cloud-logging-logback:0.68.0-alpha and google-cloud-pubsub:1.50.0.

[SergeyZadorozhniy]

io.grpc.netty.shaded.io.netty.internal.tcnative.Library.aprMajorVersion()I+0
where aprMajorVersion is native method:
private static native int aprMajorVersion();

Related issue on Netty: netty/netty#8337

Looks like cause of issue is in native library: grpc-netty-shaded-1.15.0.jar\META-INF\native\META-INF\native\io_grpc_netty_shaded_netty_tcnative_windows_x86_64.dll
Somthing wrong with loading or calling.

It looks like you're using java 9 and these libraries did not support Java 9. We will be supporting LTS versions of Java including Java 7, 8, and 11 (in our next release this week).
