        proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'

replace it with compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services:10.2.0'

and add apply plugin: 'com.google.gms.google-services' on the bottom of your gradle,

and make sure you added classpath 'com.google.gms:google-services:3.0.0' in the Top-level build.gradle file

Error:Execution failed for task ':app:processDebugGoogleServices'. > File google-services.json is missing. The Google Services Plugin cannot function without it.

when you create a project on google developers console it creates this file (google-services.json) for you and you should download it and add it to your project in app directory – Badr Apr 02 '17 at 09:34

There might one of these problems can cause this issue, try any one of them.

Solution 1:

Try to updated the gradle plugin.

dependencies {
    classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:1.5.0'
}

Then just Build->Clean project and everything works again.

Solution 2:

Go to the main module in your project, it's usually have the name app.

Then go to > Open Module Settings > in Properties change the Build Tools Version to 25.0.1

Then to make sure open the build.gradle file, and change compileSDKVersion & buildToolsVersion to 25 and 25.0.1 respectively.

If the above solution doesnt work.

Solution 3:

From this answer

"build cache" is enabled by default in build Android Plugin since 2.3.0. It creates files in build cache outside of project folder (e.g. in \Users\%username%.android\build-cache). Theese files are intended to be common between your projects.

And then Android Studio is unable to navigate in theese files.

You can disable Build Cache in gradle.properties file. just add android.enableBuildCache=false
