Gradle project sync failed.

After update the android SDK I got this error:

Error:Failed to find: com.google.android.gms:play-services:5.2.8

  • I have checked that the sdk location which is updated is used by Android Studio
  • I've got Google Repository installed and Android Support Repository too all up to date.
  • Also I have a ANDROID_HOME local variable pointing to the sdk I'm actually using

try using com.google.android.gms:play-services:5.2.08 instead of 5.2.8.

you can also look for the right version number in your services directory:

.. /android-studio/sdk/extras/google/m2repository/com/google/android/gms/play-services/

Check your sdk extras packages, you need to install:

  • Google Play services
  • Google Repository

For me, the thing was that I didn't have the second one installed and then "---:5+" worked as described here:

You can now use

compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services:6.1.11'

I use

compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services:6.1.+'

Even though it warns against it. If things go flakey after an update I'll revert back to the current version.

I had the same problem. I solved using:

compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services:7.0.0'

Suggesting using Open File> Project Structure, click the "add (+)", searching for "play-service" to select the currently available version. Something like this image: https://i.stack.imgur.com/9Pv7j.jpg
