Android Studio unable to run project

Question

I'm trying to run old project that runs for a lot of time. Suddenly I'm unable to run it.

This is the build.gradle file:

// Top-level build file where you can add configuration options common to all sub-projects/modules.
buildscript {
    ext.kotlin_version = "1.1.3"
    repositories {
        google()
        jcenter()
    }
    dependencies {
        classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.0.0'
        classpath 'com.google.gms:google-services:3.0.0'
        classpath "org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-gradle-plugin:$kotlin_version"
        classpath "org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-android-extensions:$kotlin_version"
    }
}

allprojects {
    repositories {
        jcenter()
        flatDir {
            dirs 'libs'
        }

        // For MobFox
        maven {
            url "https://jitpack.io"
        }
        // For AppBrain SDK
        maven {
            url 'http://swisscodemonkeys.github.io/appbrain-sdk/maven'
        }
    }
}

This is the gradle-wrapper.properties file:

#Sun Nov 12 11:49:59 IST 2017
distributionBase=GRADLE_USER_HOME
distributionPath=wrapper/dists
zipStoreBase=GRADLE_USER_HOME
org.gradle.jvmargs=-Xmx4608M
zipStorePath=wrapper/dists
distributionUrl=https\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-4.1-all.zip

And i get this error:

Gradle sync failed: Could not find gradle.jar (com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.0.0).
Searched in the following locations:https://jcenter.bintray.com/com/android/tools/build/gradle/3.0.0/gradle-3.0.0.jar

When I change the order between the google() and jcenter() , this error disappears but i get this error now:

error: cannot access zzbfm
class file for com.google.android.gms.internal.zzbfm not found

Any idea of how I can fix this issue? I prefer to not upgrade the Gradle version since this is a complicated project and I need to upload an update really soon without making a lot of changes.

Answer 1

Just go the file menu and click on invalidate cache and restart the android studio.

Then from build menu do clean, rebuild and make project.

Answer 2

You can't mix versions <= 12 and versions >= 15 of Firebase libraries.

implementation 'com.google.firebase:firebase-core:16.0.0'
implementation 'com.google.firebase:firebase-auth:11.6.2'
implementation 'com.google.firebase:firebase-messaging:11.8.0'

The easiest fix is to upgrade all of these to version 16 or later:

implementation 'com.google.firebase:firebase-core:16.0.0'
implementation 'com.google.firebase:firebase-auth:16.0.1'
implementation 'com.google.firebase:firebase-messaging:17.0.0'

All of these versions are from the setting up Firebase for Android documentation, so be sure to check there for the latest updates.

Background: In version 12 and lower the versions of all Firebase (and Play Services) libraries in a project had to be exactly the same. In version 15 later, you can mix versions. But there is no way to mix <= 12 and >= 15 libraries in a single project.
