NoSuchFieldError: No static field MapAttrs of type when Using MapFragment with Play Services 6.5

Question

Maybe I am missing something here, but I am not able to use the new Maps only dependency in Play Services 6.5

I get the following exception:

java.la

I found a "hacky" fix to make it work with your app until Google decides to fix this :

Add this to your app gradle script:

afterEvaluate {
    def pattern = ~/process(.*)Resources/
    tasks.matching { pattern.matcher(it.name).find() }.each {
        def matcher = pattern.matcher(it.name)
        matcher.find()
        def buildType = matcher.group(1)
        buildType = buildType.substring(0, 1).toLowerCase() + buildType.substring(1)
        def rDirectory = "$project.buildDir/generated/source/r/$buildType"
        it << {
            def badFile = file("$rDirectory/com/google/android/gms/R.java")
            def goodFile = file("$rDirectory/com/google/android/gms/maps/R.java")
            if (badFile.exists() && goodFile.exists()) {
                badFile.text = goodFile.text.replaceAll('com.google.android.gms.maps', 'com.google.android.gms')
            }
        }
    }
}
