Failed to resolve: com.google.android.gms:play-services in IntelliJ Idea with gradle

Answer 1

Check you gradle settings, it may be set to Offline Work

Answer 2

At the latest Google Play Services 15.0.0, it occurs this error when you include entire play service like this

implementation 'com.google.android.gms:play‐services:15.0.0'

Instead, you must specific the detail service like Google Drive

com.google.android.gms:play-services-drive:15.0.0

Answer 3

I tried solving this problem for hours after I haven't used Android Studio some time and wasn't aware of the updates.

It is important that google() is the first item that stands in repositories like this:

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

Somehow google() was the second item after jcenter(), so everything was messed up and didn't work. Maybe this helps someone.

Answer 4

I had the issue when I put jcenter() before google() in project level build.gradle. When I changed the order and put google() before jcenter() in build.gradle the problem disappeared

Here is my final build.gradle

// Top-level build file where you can add configuration options common to all sub-projects/modules.
buildscript {

    repositories {
        google()
        jcenter()
    }
    dependencies {
        classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.1.3'


        // NOTE: Do not place your application dependencies here; they belong
        // in the individual module build.gradle files
    }
}

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

task clean(type: Delete) {
    delete rootProject.buildDir
}

Answer 5

Add this to your project-level build.gradle file:

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

It worked for me
