Spark Streaming Twitter "receiver-supervisor-future-0" java.lang.AbstractMethodError - scala

Question

I am using Spark Streaming Twitter package to fetch the popular hashtags. To be specific, I am trying to replicate this code https://github.com/andrewrgoss/udemy-spark-scala/tree/master/twitter_streaming
I ran the following commands on Windows command line :
sbt package
spark-submit --packages org.apache.bahir:spark-streaming-twitter_2.11:2.1.0 --class com.andrewrgoss.spark.PopularHashtags \target\scala-2.11\twitter_streaming_2.11-0.1.jar
This gives me the below error.

I found the related thread Spark Program finding Popular HashTags from twiiter but no solution. Can someone from the community elaborate the error and how to resolve it?
