Failure with Maven Android : The POM for com.google.android.gms:google-play-services:jar:13.0.0 is missing, no dependency information available

Question

This is the error that I am getting with my current Maven Android Project.

The POM for com.google.android.gms:google-play-services:jar:13.0.0 is missing, no dependency information available

I have tried reinstalling google play services from SDK Manager and running mnv clean install still it does not work.

Any idea how to resolve this.

Answer 1

you need to make sure maven can access the repository the artifact can be found in. For example maven central http://search.maven.org/ does not contain the that artifact.

I would expect a settings.xml or a pom.xml to contain some section in that define where to look for this.

if you can execute maven commands try: mvn help:effective-settings and as well: mvn help:effective-pom that should reveal some repositories.

Another issue may be that you need to configure a proxy server for maven if you are behind one.

Is the message a warning or an error? Because it is also common that some artifacts do not have a pom.xml. So if it is a warning but everything else works just ignore it :)
