Version conflict updating to play-services 9.4.0 Android studio 2.2

Question

I get an error saying

 Error:Execution failed for task ':app:processDebugGoogleServices'.
    > Please fix the version conflict either by updating the version of the google-services plugin (information about the latest version is available at https://bintray.com/android/android-tools/com.google.gms.google-services/) or updating the version of com.google.android.gms to 9.0.0.

I tried looking at https://bintray.com/android/android-tools/com.google.gms.google-services/ and com.google.gms:google-services:3.0.0 seems to be the latest. This is my project gradle

dependencies {
            classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:2.1.2'
            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 this is how my app gradle looks like

buildscript {
        repositories {
            maven { url 'https://maven.fabric.io/public' }
        }

        dependencies {
            classpath 'io.fabric.tools:gradle:1.+'
        }
    }
    apply plugin: 'com.android.application'
    apply plugin: 'io.fabric'
    apply plugin: 'com.google.gms.google-services'

    repositories {
        maven { url 'https://maven.fabric.io/public' }
    }

        compileSdkVersion 24
        buildToolsVersion "24.0.1"

        compile 'org.adw.library:discrete-seekbar:1.0.1'
        compile 'com.pnikosis:materialish-progress:1.0'
    }

If I change the play services to 9.0.0 everything compiles fine. What am I missing here?

Solution 1

You need to put the apply plugin: 'com.google.gms.google-services' line below your dependencies block - this allows the plugin to determine what version of Play services you are using.

Solution 2

If you have firebase dependencies. Update their version to match version of google services: Example:

 //Firebase Crashreports
 compile 'com.google.firebase:firebase-crash:9.6.1'
//Firebase Analytics
compile 'com.google.firebase:firebase-core:9.6.1'
compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-analytics:9.6.1'
compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-gcm:9.6.1'

All must have same 9.6.1 version

Solution 3

just write this after dependencies

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

Solution 4

I run into the same problem.

My solution was not to add anything to the code but download Google Support Repository - you can find it in Tools -> Android -> SDK Manager -> SDK Tools

Solution 5

Do you have the line

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

line in the end of you build.gradle file?

This error came mostly when "apply plugin" put at the top.

Yeah it works. Just curious, I put apply plugin..... on top of the block and seems like it does not work. Why does it have to be below the block?

[ianhanniballake]

@LongDao - the file has more in common with a computer program than a config file - it is read and executed in order. By placing the apply plugin line before the dependencies block, the plugin executes and configures your build before knowing what version of Google Play services you are actually using - it effectively can't 'read ahead'

[Long Dao]

Oh I see, so order of code actually matter here. Thanks for the explanation. :)

[Anirudh]

I'm getting Error: Plugin with id 'com.google.gms.google-services' not found. Any idea how to solve it?

[ianhanniballake]

@Anirudh - that sounds like a different question entirely

[SpyZip]

developers.google.com/analytics/devguides/collection/android‌​/v4/… I wander why this is not mentioned in the official tutorial

[ianhanniballake]

@SpyZip - it is clearly stated in the Google Play services setup docs - step 2

[aldok]

this worked for me, even though in the docs google play services use 9.8.0, you have to MATCH version with firebase dependencies.

[onexf]

Thanks to your answer. noticed that the version of all play-services and firebase-crash should match.(9.4.0 in my case)

[luiswill]

Hi guys ! Every time I move from 9.8.0 to 9.6.1 after lauching it comes back to 9.8.0 ... Any idea ? Would be really cool ! :D
