How to fix Error:Could not find com.google.gms: google-services: 3.0.0.?

Question

I am trying to add firebase addmob in my app.

In build.gradle(Project) i have following code

buildscript {
    repositories {
        jcenter()
    }
    dependencies {
        classpath 'com.google.gms: google-services: 3.0.0'
        classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:2.1.3'

        // NOTE: Do not place your application dependencies here; they belong
        // in the individual module build.gradle files
    }
}

In build.gradle(module)

apply plugin: 'com.android.application'

android {
    compileSdkVersion 23
    buildToolsVersion "24.0.2"

    defaultConfig {
        applicationId "com.myname.examp.myapp"
        minSdkVersion 14
        targetSdkVersion 23
        versionCode 1
        versionName "1.0"
    }
    buildTypes {
        release {
            minifyEnabled false
            proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
        }
    }
}

dependencies {
    compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])
    testCompile 'junit:junit:4.12'
    compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:23.0.0'
    compile 'com.android.support:design:23.0.0'
    compile 'com.google.firebase: firebase-ads: 9.0.0'

I had similar problem, I copied the dependency from the firebase instructions and pasted in code.

From instructions:

classpath 'com.google.gms: google-services: 3.0.0'

Supposed to be:

classpath 'com.google.gms:google-services:3.0.0'

Should not include any spaces. Silly but wasted half an hour.

This does not work for me, even after adding google-service.json file. It still give same error. – karan vs Sep 20 '16 at 05:47
This file isn't mentioned anywhere on the instructions with setting up GA. Where do I get this file? – Marty Miller Jun 13 '17 at 02:20

Add the class path line in the top level gradle file. Not in the same file where you add individual dependencies.

Move class path dependency to project level build.gradle file as follows :

buildscript {
    repositories {
        jcenter()
    }
    dependencies {
        classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:2.1.3'
        classpath 'com.google.gms:google-services:3.0.0'
        // NOTE: Do not place your application dependencies here; they belong
        // in the individual module build.gradle files
    }
}

and ensure that the apply plugin line after dependencies in your build.gradle file in app folder as follows

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

I made a silly mistake. I had `apply from: 'com.google.gms.google-services'` instead of `apply plugin: 'com.google.gms.google-services'`. – Carl Smith Feb 23 '23 at 01:17

add the classpath in the build.gradle at your project level not the one in module level.

dependencies {
    classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:2.3.1'
    classpath 'com.google.gms:google-services:3.+'

    // NOTE: Do not place your application dependencies here; they belong
    // in the individual module build.gradle files
}

and then apply it in the module level.

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

I had the same error.

I had solved the problem by changing

classpath 'com.google.gms:google-services:4.3.3'

to

classpath 'com.google.gms:google-services:4.3.0'

Maybe you need to downgrade version

I was facing similar issue with flutter project for classpath 'com.google.gms:google-services:4.3.15'

For Instance of firebase in app

Go to Firebase Project Click on Flutter Cli
Add firebase cli package in your system https://firebase.google.com/docs/cli?authuser=0&hl=en#install_the_firebase_cli

    curl -sL https://firebase.tools | bash 
    dart pub global activate flutterfire_cli
    firebase login
    flutterfire configure --project=projectId

Add firebase to your project for android/ios

Error:org.gradle.api.internal.tasks.DefaultTaskInputs$TaskInputUnionFileCollection cannot be cast to org.gradle.api.internal.file.collections.DefaultConfigurableFileCollection Possible causes for this unexpected error include:

Gradle's dependency cache may be corrupt (this sometimes occurs after a network connection timeout.) Re-download dependencies and sync project (requires network)
The state of a Gradle build process (daemon) may be corrupt. Stopping all Gradle daemons may solve this problem. Stop Gradle build processes (requires restart)
Your project may be using a third-party plugin which is not compatible with the other plugins in the project or the version of Gradle requested by the project.

In the case of corrupt Gradle processes, you can also try closing the IDE and then killing all Java processes.
