Question

I am working on a new app. Presently I am trying to add dependency

Before insert row #38:

After insert row #38:

Any ideas how to best resolve this issue?

P.S. classpath 'com.google.gms:google-services:4.0.1'

Answer 1

One of your dependencies is internally using an older support library version. The best solution is to force it to use a newer one, just add this to dependencies:

implementation 'com.android.support:customtabs:27.1.1'

Answer 2

You should be able to resolve this by adding:

implementation 'com.android.support:customtabs:27.1.1'

You are receiving this error because the library you added has implemented an older version internally.
