Error: Could not find com.google.gms:google-services:1.0. when adding google service plugin in build.gradle in android studio

Question

I am integrating OAuth login for Google+ on my android application, following the tutorial.

According to the tutorial, I should add the Google Service plugin by addi

Answer 1

Google updated their guide. Where it was classpath 'com.google.gms:google-services:1.0' now reads classpath 'com.google.gms:google-services:1.3.0-beta1' like joluet suggested.

Answer 2

I would advise you against doing what you are doing. I did it too (by following Set up a GCM Client App on Android blindly) but ended up with exceeding 65K method limit.

So, you should remove the following lines from your gradle:

apply plugin: 'com.google.gms.google-services'
classpath 'com.google.gms:google-services:1.0'

Now import APIs of Google Plus with simple gradle import:

compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-plus:8.1.0'

Answer 3

Inside the .idea folder exists a workspace.xml file that defines the project's structure. I suggest you to close Android Studio, then delete .idea folder and then import the project again. The .idea would be generated by the IDE again. For me this solution works.

Answer 4

I ran into the same issue today. In the samples they use this line instead: classpath 'com.google.gms:google-services:1.3.0-beta1' This works.

Answer 5

As of 25th Nov,2015, google released a newer version.

Try adding: classpath 'com.google.gms:google-services:2.0.0-alpha1'

And don't forget to add jcenter() repository under buildscript.

Thanks.

Answer 6

Adding jcenter repository to project level build.gradle helped in my case:

buildscript {
    repositories {
        jcenter();
        mavenCentral()
    }
