How to fix Error:Could not find com.google.gms: go

Question

I am trying to add firebase addmob in my app.

In build.gradle(Project) i have following code

buildscript {
    repositories {
        jcenter()
    }
    dependencies {
        classpath 'com.google.gms: google-services: 3.0.0'
        classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:2.1.3'

        // NOTE: Do not place your application dependencies here; they belong
        // in the individual module build.gradle files
    }
}

In build.gradle(module)

apply plugin: 'com.android.application'

android {
    compileSdkVersion 23
    buildToolsVersion "24.0.2"

    defaultConfig {
        applicationId "com.myname.examp.myapp"
        minSdkVersion 14
        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-v7:23.0.0'
    compile 'com.android.support:design:23.0.0'
    compile 'com.google.firebase: firebase-ads: 9.0.0'
}
apply plugin: 'com.google.gms.google-services'

Can some one help me how to fix this error

Answer 1

Add the class path line in the top level gradle file. Not in the same file where you add individual dependencies.

Answer 2

Please add google-services.json in your app folder.

Answer 3

Move class path dependency to project level build.gradle file as follows :

buildscript {
    repositories {
        jcenter()
    }
    dependencies {
        classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:2.1.3'
        classpath 'com.google.gms:google-services:3.0.0'
        // NOTE: Do not place your application dependencies here; they belong
        // in the individual module build.gradle files
    }
}

and ensure that the apply plugin line after dependencies in your build.gradle file in app folder as follows

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

Answer 4

I had similar problem, I copied the dependency from the firebase instructions and pasted in code.

From instructions:

classpath 'com.google.gms: google-services: 3.0.0'

Supposed to be:

classpath 'com.google.gms:google-services:3.0.0'

Should not include any spaces. Silly but wasted half an hour.

Answer 5

Error:org.gradle.api.internal.tasks.DefaultTaskInputs$TaskInputUnionFileCollection cannot be cast to org.gradle.api.internal.file.collections.DefaultConfigurableFileCollection Possible causes for this unexpected error include:

• Gradle's dependency cache may be corrupt (this sometimes occurs after a network connection timeout.) Re-download dependencies and sync project (requires network)
• The state of a Gradle build process (daemon) may be corrupt. Stopping all Gradle daemons may solve this problem. Stop Gradle build processes (requires restart)
• Your project may be using a third-party plugin which is not compatible with the other plugins in the project or the version of Gradle requested by the project.

In the case of corrupt Gradle processes, you can also try closing the IDE and then killing all Java processes.

Answer 6

add the classpath in the build.gradle at your project level not the one in module level.

dependencies {
    classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:2.3.1'
    classpath 'com.google.gms:google-services:3.+'

    // NOTE: Do not place your application dependencies here; they belong
    // in the individual module build.gradle files
}

and then apply it in the module level.

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