Question

I try fix some feature of my app after update android studio 3.2.1. But seem i get more error. When i try rebuild app. I got this messenger:

Error: Type com.google.android.gms.common.internal.zzg is referenced as an interface from `com.google.android.gms.internal.zzij`.

But, my build.gradle (Module:app) and build.gradle (Project) look fine. Here my build.gradle :

apply plugin: 'com.android.application'

android {
    compileSdkVersion 28

    compileOptions {

And, here my build.gradle (project) :

buildscript {

    jcenter()
    maven { url "https://jitpack.io" }

}
dependencies {
    classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.2.1'
    classpath 'com.google.gms:google-services:4.1.0'
}
}

allprojects {
//    apply plugin: 'com.android.application'
repositories {
    maven {
        url "https://maven.google.com"
    }
    google()
    jcenter()

    maven{
        url "https://jitpack.io"
    }

}
}

task clean(type: Delete) {
delete rootProject.buildDir
}

I tried find some solution for this issue. But i find nothing. So, anyone can help me ?

Answer 1

You might need to remove implementation 'com.google.android.gms:play-services:12.0.1'

And replace it with

 implementation("com.google.android.gms:play-services-gcm:12.0.1") {
    exclude group: "com.google.android.gms"
}

BEFORE AFTER

Answer 2

Updating my 'com.google.android.gms' dependencies to the latest version fixed my issue. You can update your dependencies from File -> Project Structure -> Dependencies (Click update) or directly chnge to the version you require in your build.gradle file like below

    implementation 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-base:17.3.0'
    implementation "com.google.android.gms:play-services-ads:19.3.0"
