I have read similar Q/A here and here about this problem. All solution was to use latest plugins. The question is outdated and I need new configuration using latest versions
Don't use the combined play-services target. It brings in dozens of libraries, bloating your application. Instead, specify only the specific Google Play services APIs your app uses.
As quoted from official docs, you should not use combined play services library. Instead try using specific libraries you need and try updating the specific library to 15.0.1
