Gradle Error:Execution failed for task ':app:p

Question

I am following this link to integrate Google sign-in in my android app.https://developers.google.com/identity/sign-in/android/start-integrating As given in last step on the above given page we have to include dependency

 compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-auth:8.3.0' 

in app-level build.gradle file but doing so and building project an error comes saying

Error:Execution failed for task ':app:processDebugGoogleServices'.
> Please fix the version conflict.

build.gradle(Module:app)

apply plugin: 'com.android.application'
apply plugin: 'com.google.gms.google-services'


android {
    compileSdkVersion 23
    buildToolsVersion "23.0.2"

    defaultConfig {
        applicationId "com.brainbreaker.socialbuttons"
        minSdkVersion 16
        targetSdkVersion 23
        versionCode 1
        versionName "1.0"
    }
    buildTypes {
        release {
            minifyEnabled false
            proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
        }
    }
}

dependencies {
    compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])
    testCompile 'junit:junit:4.12'
    compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:23.0.1'
    compile 'com.android.support:design:23.0.1'
    compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-auth:8.3.0'
}

In the build.gradle file the compile dependency line compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-auth:8.3.0' shows error

All com.google.android.gms libraries must use the exact same version specification (mixing versions can lead to runtime crashes). Found versions 8.3.0, 8.1.0. Examples include com.google.android.gms:play-services-base:8.3.0 and com.google.android.gms:play-services-measurement:8.1.0 There are some combinations of libraries, or tools and libraries, that are incompatible, or can lead to bugs. One such incompatibility is compiling with a version of the Android support libraries that is not the latest version (or in particular, a version lower than your targetSdkVersion.)

Here are the messages of gradle build.

I am not able to see any way out for this version conflict. Any help is appreciated.

Answer 1

I'v got a same issue. but Now I'm fixed.

You should delete a line apply plugin: 'com.google.gms.google-services'

because "com.android.application" package already has same package.

Answer 2

I had a similar issue/error.. fixed it by moving apply plugin: 'com.google.gms.google-services'
to the end of app level gradle file.

And updated the version of gms:play-services and gms:play-services auth

Answer 3

had the same issue as described by @scottyab.

all references were 8.4.0 but it failed due to a reference to app-measurement 8.3.0 that i did not reference anywhere (but one of the dependencies?). you can see the problem if you hover over the bad(red) dependency in Android Studio. explicitly adding

compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-measurement:8.4.0'

to app.gradle solved the issue.

Answer 4

First close your android studio then right click on studio icon and click 'Run as administrator' it will work

Answer 5

I also faced the same issue. But I forgot to add google-services.json in my project. You can get this file from Google.

Answer 6

Had the same problem with malformed error Deleted the line apply plugin: 'com.google.gms.google-services' And the build got successful
