Answer 1

The problem is caused because Firebase started versioning the libraries separately. Updating everything to latest version solves the issue.

Update the google play gradle plugin version to latest version, currently 4.0.1.

In project level build.gradle file:

classpath 'com.google.gms:google-services:4.0.1'

Information about latest version of google gradle plugin is available at:

https://bintray.com/android/android-tools/com.google.gms.google-services/

And use the latest versions of individual libraries in app level build.gradle file:

implementation 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-vision:15.0.2'
implementation 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-ads:15.0.1'
implementation 'com.google.firebase:firebase-messaging:15.0.2'

Information about latest versions of individual libraries available at:

https://firebase.google.com/support/release-notes/android and https://developers.google.com/android/guides/setup

Answer 2

In my case problem is same.I followed below steps:

1.build.gradle(gradle)

change :

  classpath 'com.google.gms:google-services:3.2.0'

To :

  classpath 'com.google.gms:google-services:3.2.1'

2.build.gradle(module)

    implementation 'com.google.firebase:firebase-core:15.0.2'
    implementation 'com.google.firebase:firebase-messaging:15.0.2'
    implementation 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-maps:15.0.1'

for google location and places :

  implementation 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-location:15.0.1'
  implementation 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-places:15.0.1'

Answer 4

The above error has appeared today after rebuilding application, as if the new update to classpath: 'com.google.gms:google-services:3.1.0' to

classpath: 'com.google.gms:google-services:3.2.0'

has helped solving my problem.

In addition, other answers mentioned in this post may also help, it depends on the version of google com.google.firebase packages used, i tried to update firebase packages to their latest version. Also you may refer to the following question and get help from the answers mentioned.

Also i have added the following to the project gradle file in the repositories section

maven{
url  "https://dl.bintray.com/android/android-tools"
}

Answer 5

Please upgrade classpath of build gradle and google services as follows

    classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.1.2'
    classpath 'com.google.gms:google-services:3.3.0'

Answer 6

1. Update google.gms version to latest version

At the time of answer latest is 4.1.0.

buildscript {
    // ...
    dependencies {
        // ...
        classpath 'com.google.gms:google-services:4.1.0' // google-services plugin
    }
}

allprojects {
    // ...
    repositories {
        // ...
        google() // Google's Maven repository
    }
}

2. Update firebase dependencies to latest version

Sync and Build...
