The library com.google.android.gms:play-services-base is being requested by various other libraries at [[15.0.1,15.0.1]], but resolves to 16.0.1

Question

I see that this is a common issue apparently, but none of the posted solutions work for me. I have checked and all of my play services and firebase libraries are at the late

Answer 1

most likely ...without knowing what might be in the libs directory:

dependencies {
    implementation "com.google.android.gms:play-services-base:16.0.1"
    implementation (fileTree(dir: "libs", include: ["*.jar"])) {
        exclude group: "com.google.android.gms"
    }
}

or enforce the version to select:

configurations.all() {
    resolutionStrategy.force "com.google.android.gms:play-services-base:16.0.1"
}
