I was following a tutorial for Firestore but then this error occured, I have all the necessary things in my project level Gradle file, I checked the other questions similar to mine, and mine isn't the same scenario. Could you please help?

ERROR: Failed to resolve: com.google.firebase:firebase-firestore:16.0.1

}

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

Answer 1

To solve this, please change the following lines of code:

implementation 'com.google.firebase:firebase-core:16.0.1'
implementation 'com.google.firebase:firebase-auth:16.0.1'
implementation 'com.google.firebase:firebase-firestore:16.0.1'
implementation 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-auth:15.0.1'

to

implementation 'com.google.firebase:firebase-core:16.0.6'
implementation 'com.google.firebase:firebase-auth:16.1.0'
implementation 'com.google.firebase:firebase-firestore:18.0.0'
implementation 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-auth:16.0.1'

In your top level build.gradle file please be sure to have the latest version of Google Service plugin:

classpath 'com.google.gms:google-services:4.2.0'

Answer 2

First of all, check the latest dependency version. May be you add this line twice thats why gradle can not resolve this:

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

And add class path into your project level gradle file

classpath 'com.google.gms:google-services:4.2.0'
