The library com.google.android.gms:play-services-base is being requested by various other libraries at [[15.0.1,15.0.1]], but resolves to 16.0.1

Question

I see that this is a common issue apparently, but none of the posted solutions work for me. I have checked and all of my play services and firebase libraries are at the late

Answer 1

Option 1

Downgrade your google service version to 3.2.1

classpath 'com.google.gms:google-services:3.2.1'

Option 2

right after the apply plugin: 'com.google.gms.google-services' at the bottom of your build.gradle the following can be added to work around the issue.

com.google.gms.googleservices.GoogleServicesPlugin.config.disableVersionCheck = true

Answer 2

most likely ...without knowing what might be in the libs directory:

dependencies {
    implementation "com.google.android.gms:play-services-base:16.0.1"
    implementation (fileTree(dir: "libs", include: ["*.jar"])) {
        exclude group: "com.google.android.gms"
    }
}

or enforce the version to select:

configurations.all() {
    resolutionStrategy.force "com.google.android.gms:play-services-base:16.0.1"
}

Answer 3
