Conflict with dependency 'com.android.support:support-annotations'. Resolved versions for app (23.3.0) and test app (23.1.1) differ

Question

I came across this exception while adding espresso to an android project. I already try the link that comes with this exception

**Conflict with dependency 'com.android.support:support-annotations'. Resolved versions for app (23.3.0) and test app (23.1.1) differ**

also I add the following line according to other thread I found

**androidTestCompile 'com.android.support:support-annotations:23.1.0'**

But the problem still persist. I am using the following configurations:

buildToolsVersion "23.0.2"

androidTestCompile 'com.android.support.test:runner:0.5'
androidTestCompile 'com.android.support.test:rules:0.5'
androidTestCompile 'com.android.support.test.espresso:espresso-core:2.2.2'

Any ideas, thanks.

Did you try running `./gradlew -q app:dependencies` to see which library is giving you the conflict? — IgorGanapolsky, Jun 17 '16 at 21:04

This solve the problem 'Resolved versions for app (24.0.0-beta1) and test app (23.0.1) differ' for me.

android{    
    configurations.all {
        resolutionStrategy.force 'com.android.support:support-annotations:23.0.1'
    }
}

And do not forget to add following code, if you want to run the AndroidTest

 defaultConfig {
    testInstrumentationRunner "android.support.test.runner.AndroidJUnitRunner"
}

This is the only answer that worked for me. One has to put `configurations.all` at the bottom of **dependencies** block. – IgorGanapolsky Jun 17 '16 at 21:12

    // Solves "versions for app (23.3.0) and test app (23.1.1) differ"
    androidTestCompile 'com.android.support:support-annotations:23.3.0'

Nowadays when you create a new project on Android Studio, it adds this dependency by default:

androidTestCompile('com.android.support.test.espresso:espresso-core:2.2.2', {
    exclude group: 'com.android.support', module: 'support-annotations'
})

The exclude section is probably to avoid the conflict mentioned in the question. I also faced this issue when trying to add runner:0.5 and rules:0.5 dependencies. My solution was to apply the same piece of code above on them:

androidTestCompile ('com.android.support.test:runner:0.5', {
    exclude group: 'com.android.support', module: 'support-annotations'
})

androidTestCompile ('com.android.support.test:rules:0.5', {
    exclude group: 'com.android.support', module: 'support-annotations'
})

It works for me. Hope it helps.

annotation library is used by all three dependancies rules:0.5', runner:05 and espresso-core:2.2.2, so following worked for me

androidTestCompile 'com.android.support.test:runner:0.5', {
    exclude group: 'com.android.support', module: 'support-annotations'
}
androidTestCompile 'com.android.support.test:rules:0.5', {
    exclude group: 'com.android.support', module: 'support-annotations'
}
androidTestCompile 'com.android.support.test.espresso:espresso-core:2.2.2', {
    exclude group: 'com.android.support', module: 'support-annotations'
}

Why would this solve the problem? I don't get it. I tried it, and it doesn't solve anything. – IgorGanapolsky Jun 17 '16 at 21:08
My dependencies versions: androidGradleToolsVersion = '2.1.0' androidBuildToolsVersion = '23.0.2' androidSDKVersion = 23 androidSupportLibVersion = '23.3.0' try to change its. Or try to use latest versions. But I think you'll need to use piece of code above nonetheless. – Michael Gaev Jun 20 '16 at 11:40
