Could not find com.google.firebase:firebase-core:9.0.0?

Question

In my app, I am trying to use gcm services, but I cannot even get gradle to compile. I keep getting the message that I am missing 'firebase core' though I have no idea how to install this.

This is my top-level gradle file:

buildscript {
repositories {
    jcenter()

}
dependencies {
    classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:2.1.2'
    classpath "io.realm:realm-gradle-plugin:1.1.0"
    classpath 'com.neenbedankt.gradle.plugins:android-apt:1.8'
    classpath 'com.google.gms:google-services:3.0.0'
  }
}

allprojects {
repositories {
    jcenter()
    maven {
        url "https://jitpack.io"
    }

    maven {
        url "https://mint.splunk.com/gradle/"
    }
}
}

And here is my module-level gradle file:

apply plugin: 'com.android.application'
apply plugin: 'realm-android'
apply plugin: 'com.google.gms.google-services'


android {

compileSdkVersion 24
buildToolsVersion "24.0.0"
defaultConfig {
    applicationId "roof.android"
    minSdkVersion 17
    targetSdkVersion 23
    versionCode 11
    versionName "0.0.4"
}
buildTypes {
    release {
        minifyEnabled false
        proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
    }
}
packagingOptions {
    exclude 'META-INF/NOTIC E.txt'

    exclude 'META-INF/maven/com.fasterxml.jackson.core/jackson-core/pom.properties'
    exclude 'META-INF/maven/com.fasterxml.jackson.core/jackson-core/pom.xml'
}
}

compile fileTree(include: ['*.jar'], dir: 'libs')

This may not solve you immediate problem, but you need to move `apply plugin: 'com.google.gms.google-services'` to the **bottom** of your module gradle file. [Detail here](https://developers.google.com/android/guides/google-services-plugin). — Bob Snyder, Jul 10 '16 at 16:58

In your module Gradle file (usually the app/build.gradle), add the apply plugin(apply plugin: 'com.google.gms.google-services') line at the bottom of the file to enable the Gradle plugin.

You should also add the dependencies for the Firebase com.google.firebase:firebase-core and com.google.firebase:firebase-messaging SDK's:

apply plugin: 'com.android.application'

android {
  // ...
}

dependencies {
  // ...
  compile 'com.google.firebase:firebase-core:10.2.1'
  compile 'com.google.firebase:firebase-messaging:10.2.1'
}

// ADD THIS AT THE BOTTOM
apply plugin: 'com.google.gms.google-services'

Make sure you have the latest version of 'Google Play services' and 'Google Repository' installed while using Firebase.

Please follow below steps to install:

Open Android studio
Go to the Menu bar > Tools > Android > SDK Manager
Click on Tab > SDK Tools
Check and install 'Google Play Services' and 'Google Repository'
Click on Apply and wait for the download

Finally, Sync and build your project again.

You want to add push notifications in your app ?

use firebase instead of GCM. it is enhanced version of GCM.

You need following dependencies for firebase push notifications.

compile 'com.google.firebase:firebase-messaging:9.0.1'
compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-gcm:9.0.1'

Why do you recommend firebase? – Jul 10 '16 at 16:05
because if you read google official blogpost about firebase. they also recommends that you should upgrade your existing apps to firebase :) – Developine Jul 10 '16 at 16:07
infact it has more features, easy to integrate. – Developine Jul 10 '16 at 16:08

I had the same problem with com.google.firebase:firebase-core:11.8.0 and it worked after moving the google() repository above jcenter().

In between I used Build -> Clean Project.

./build.gradle

buildscript {
    repositories {
        google() // <- now on top!
        jcenter()
    }
    dependencies {
        classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.0.1'
        classpath 'com.google.gms:google-services:3.1.1'
    }
}

allprojects {
    repositories {
        google() // <- now on top!
        jcenter()
    }
}

If you want to add the firebase core, you can add compile 'com.google.firebase:firebase-core:9.0.0' under dependencies tag in your module-level gradle file.

If you still can't resolve it, maybe you need to update the SDK to get the Google Play Services rev 30 and Google Repository rev 26 first. See here for the detail.

In your android/build.gradle in your repositories section, try moving google() ABOVE jcenter().
