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

Answer 1

For me adding this under dependencies worked

compile 'com.google.gms:google-services:3.0.0'

Answer 2

I got a similar problem while following the instructions for implementing a GCM client in Android Studio, however, the message I got was :

Error: Could not find com.google.gms:google-services:1.3.0-beta1...

Although I never figured out what was wrong, I simply copied my sources, resources, manifest, and keystore into a new Android Studio project. I then edited the auto-generated gradle build files for the new project by manually re-adding my dependencies.

I made sure not to copy over my build files from the old project verbatim (since the source of the error likely lay in them somewhere).

It is not a satisfying solution, but it worked for me and it took little time.
