How to fix google play service error

Question

Today after updating the play services in root folder I\'m facing the following problem . I\'m confused how to fix this.

Can anyone please help me to fix this ?

Answer 1

One of your dependency is having different version of com.google.android.gms.

Update

Firebase dependencies are having independent versions unlike past. If you have version conflicts then you can update your com.google.gms:google-services. and start defining independent version.

Update com.google.gms:google-services

Go to top (project) level build.gradle and update com.google.gms:google-services to version 4.1.0 or newer if available.

buildscript {
    ...
    dependencies {
        classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.2.0'
        classpath 'com.google.gms:google-services:4.1.0' //< update this 
    }
}

Update Firebase dependencies to Latest Versions

Firebase dependency versions can be individual. So check Latest Versions.

com.google.firebase:firebase-core:16.0.3    //Analytics
com.google.firebase:firebase-database:16.0.2    //Realtime Database

Orignal Solution (Useful)

Ways to resolve:

1. Exclude com.google.android.gms from conflicted dependency.
2. Update that dependency if available.
3. Change your com.google.android.gms version as conflicted version.

Problem

how to see which dependency is using com.google.android.gms?

1. Solution by command

For Android, use this line

 gradle app:dependencies

or if you have a gradle wrapper:

./gradlew app:dependencies

where app is your project module.

Additionally, if you want to check if something is compile vs. testCompile vs androidTestCompile dependency as well as what is pulling it in:

./gradlew :app:dependencyInsight --configuration compile --dependency 
./gradlew :app:dependencyInsight --configuration testCompile --dependency 
./gradlew :app:dependencyInsight --configuration androidTestCompile --dependency 

2 Use these plugins

Gradle View is an Android Studio plugin that you can install and show dependency hierarchy. Methods Count is another plugin, it also shows dependency tree.
