File google-services.json is missing. The Google Services Plugin cannot function without it. Searched Location: C:\Users\vikas\AndroidStudioProjects\FireBaseFunctionality\app\src\debug\google-services.json C:\Users\vikas\AndroidStudioProjects\FireBaseFunctionality\app\google-services.json

Solution 1

Had the same problem - builded before next step of tutorial. You have to generate and download the file from firebase website. See Error "File google-services.json is missing from module root folder. The Google Services Plugin cannot function without it" - late, but someone may need this nowdays.

Solution 2

go into SDK manager --> SDK tool---->install play service and USB tool and repository I have solved same problem with above method

or u can change the name of google service google-services.json instead of google-services(any number).json

Solution 3

just change in the build.gradle the line

compile fileTree (dir: 'libs', include: ['* .jar'])

to

implementation fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])

Where would I expect to find .pub-cache?!

It's in the flutter installation folder. Would be hidden.
