Error: fix the version conflict (google-services plugin)

Question

As per this SO thread, I know there are version conflicts, but issue still persists after new versions from Google.

Error:Execution failed for task ':app:processDebugGoogleServices'. Please fix the version conflict either by updating the version of the google-services plugin (information about the latest version is available at https://bintray.com/android/android-tools/com.google.gms.google-services/) or updating the version of com.google.android.gms to 10.0.1.

My build.gradle(Module: app)

....
dependencies {
   compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])
   androidTestCompile('com.android.support.test.espresso:espresso-core:2.2.2', {
    exclude group: 'com.android.support', module: 'support-annotations'
    })
   compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:26.+'
   compile 'com.android.support.constraint:constraint-layout:1.0.2'
   testCompile 'junit:junit:4.12'
   compile 'com.google.firebase:firebase-messaging:10.0.1'
   compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-maps:11.0.4'
   compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-location:11.0.4'
}

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

What changes are required now?

Answer 1

Initially, the firebase database was pointing to 11.8.0 .after changing all the related jars to 11.0.4 this issue is resolved at changes the SDK level.

compile 'com.google.firebase:firebase-database:11.0.4'
compile 'com.google.firebase:firebase-messaging:11.0.4'

Answer 2

Update google services and Firebase library to latest version

google services

 classpath 'com.google.gms:google-services:4.3.1'

firebase

 implementation 'com.google.firebase:firebase-database:19.0.0'

Answer 3

After All Working for 6 hours i got the solution...

Simple Just what ever the plugins you defined in the build.gradle file... for ex: google services plugins or firebase plugins or any third party plugins all the **version code** should be same..

Example: In my application i am using following plugins...

    // google services plugins
    implementation 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-analytics:10.0.1'
    implementation 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-gcm:10.0.1'
    implementation 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-base:11.6.1'
    implementation 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-auth-api-phone:11.6.0'

    //firebase plugin
    implementation 'com.google.firebase:firebase-ads:10.0.1'

    //Third Party plugin
    implementation 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-auth:16.0.0'

In the above plugins version code(ex:10.0.1, 16.0.0, 11.6.1) are different I was facing fix the version conflict (google-services plugin) issue

Below for all plugins i have given single version code(11.6.0) and the issue is resovled...

 // google services plugins
    implementation 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-analytics:11.6.0'
    implementation 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-gcm:11.6.0'
    implementation 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-base:11.6.0'
    implementation 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-auth-api-phone:11.6.0'

    //firebase plugin
    implementation 'com.google.firebase:firebase-ads:11.6.0'

    //Third Party plugin
    implementation 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-auth:11.6.0'


**Syn Gradle**...

Go to Build>>Rebuild Projcet...

Sure it will work....@Ambilpura

Answer 4

The google play services requires all its dependencies to have the same version. But if you look at your dependencies:

compile 'com.google.firebase:firebase-messaging:10.0.1'
compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-maps:11.0.4'
compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-location:11.0.4'

There is one that has a different version.

It can be solved by changing the version to (in this case) 11.0.4.

This applies to both Firebase and Google Play Services - both have to have matching versions that also correspond with each other. If a Firebase dependency is 10.0.1 and a Google Play Services dependency is 11.0.4, the same error will occur.

Note that in some cases, there can be a library that has a different version of a library (e.g. library x uses play-services-games:10.0.1 while you use 11.0.4 for the dependencies in your app)

Edit

This answer does NOT cover the newer versions where versions are individual. Update com.google.gms:google-services:4.1.0 and check mvnrepository (or some other maven/gradle artifact search tool) to find the newest versions.

Answer 5

Important Update

Both Firebase & Play-service dependencies are having independent versions unlike past. If you have version conflicts then you can update your com.google.gms:google-services. and start defining independent version.

Step(1): Update com.google.gms:google-services

Open project level build.gradle and update com.google.gms:google-services to version 4.1.0 MUST CHECK newer if available.

buildscript {
    ...
    dependencies {
        classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.2.0'
        classpath 'com.google.gms:google-services:4.1.0' //< update this 
    }
}

Step(2): Update Firebase dependencies Latest Versions

Firebase dependency versions can be individual.

com.google.firebase:firebase-core:16.0.3    //Analytics, check latest too
com.google.firebase:firebase-database:16.0.2    //Realtime Database, check latest too

Step(3): Update Play Services dependencies Latest Versions

Play services versions also can have individual versions.

com.google.android.gms:play-services-ads:17.1.2 //Ads, check latest too
com.google.android.gms:play-services-analytics:16.0.6   //Analytics, check latest too

Still having issue? You can check which dependency is making conflict by reading this answer.

Answer 6

I think you change

compile 'com.google.firebase:firebase-messaging:11.0.4'

Answer 7

With

com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.2.0

You have to use:

classpath 'com.google.gms:google-services:4.1.0'

This fixed my problem

Answer 8

Please change your project-level build.gradle file in which you have to change your dependencies class path of google-services or build.gradle path.

buildscript {

    dependencies {
        classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.1.2'
        classpath 'com.google.gms:google-services:4.0.1'
    }
}

Answer 9

You must use only one version for all 3 libs

compile 'com.google.firebase:firebase-messaging:11.0.4'
compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-maps:11.0.4'
compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-location:11.0.4'

OR only use only 10.0.1 for 3 libs

Answer 10

Same error gets thrown when

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

is not added to bottom of the module build.gradle file.

Answer 11

All google services should be of same version, try matching every versions.

Correct one is :

  implementation 'com.google.firebase:firebase-auth:11.6.0'
  implementation 'com.google.firebase:firebase-database:11.6.0'

Incorrect Config is :

 implementation 'com.google.firebase:firebase-auth:11.6.0'
 implementation 'com.google.firebase:firebase-database:11.8.0'

Answer 12

as the message says go to: com.google.gms.google-services versions

And copy the last version's number . Mine was less than 3.3.1. Then in project's build.gradle put/change dependencies node as :

dependencies {
    classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.1.2' // as it was before             
    classpath 'com.google.gms:google-services:3.3.1' // <-- the version change                  
        }

Then I synced the project and error went

Answer 13

For fire base to install properly all the versions of the fire base compiles must be in same version so

compile 'com.google.firebase:firebase-messaging:11.0.4' 
compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-maps:11.0.4' 
compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-location:11.0.4'

this is the correct way to do it.

Answer 14

install or update google play services. Secondly, check your 'com.google.gms:google-services:3.0.0' version . Check , this by upgrading it if still not work to 3.1.0
