Failed to resolve: play-services-flags

Question

Today, Android Studio stopped to sync properly due to configuration issues.

Could not resolve all files for configuration ‘:app:providerRepositoryDebu

Answer 1

Try below code

in project build.gradle

in dependencies tag

classpath 'com.google.gms:google-services:4.0.1'

and import repositories like below

allprojects {
    repositories {
        google()
        jcenter()
    }
}

in app build.gradle

repositories {
    google()
    jcenter()
}

Now the confusing part is why use google() not

maven { url "https://maven.google.com"  }

because google() is its replacement in android studio 3+

Also make sure to use correct version of firebase sdk from Firebase SDK documentation
