Maybe you can try to compile google services from Sdk Manager > Sdk Tools, and select Google Play Services and download. — Cagri Yalcin, Sep 29 '17 at 06:35
or try this in gradle : compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services:9.8.0' — Cagri Yalcin, Sep 29 '17 at 06:36

compile 'com.google.android.gms.play-services:+7'

it should be-

compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services:7+'

but you should avoid inexact versions, use more specific like "9.4.0" or whatever suits your application.

https://developers.google.com/android/guides/releases check here for the versions. check what functionality you want and use that version code. Also note the different variant of play-services are available.

Like Arnav said, you have to use -

compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services:7+'

Adding to that, if you want to check the latest dependency for any library, use this - Check latest version of any library
