Parse.initialize method called inside my RibbitApplication class inside the oncreate method keep crashing the app.

If i remove this parse initialization method, the app does not crash

Can you post your code, and have you checked that your Parse credentials match?

Thanks for your reply Ken

RipitApplication.java file below:

RipitApplication onCreate method

@Override
public void onCreate() {
    super.onCreate();
    Parse.initialize(this, "my_app_id", "my_client_key");

    ParseUser user = new ParseUser();
    user.setUsername("my name");
    user.setPassword("my pass");
    user.setEmail("email@example.com");

    // other fields can be set just like with ParseObject
    user.put("phone", "650-555-0000");

    user.signUpInBackground(new SignUpCallback() {
      public void done(ParseException e) {
        if (e == null) {
          // Hooray! Let them use the app now.
        } else {
          // Sign up didn't succeed. Look at the ParseException
          // to figure out what went wrong
        }
      }
    });
