Failed to resolve: firebase-common

Question

I am getting this error when trying to add firebase auth

Failed to resolve: firebase-common

build.gradle

apply plugin: 'com.android.application'

android {
compileSdkVersion 27
buildToolsVersion '27.0.3'
defaultConfig {
...
}

dependencies {
implementation 'com.google.firebase:firebase-core:15.0.2'
implementation 'com.google.firebase:firebase-messaging:15.0.2'
implementation 'com.google.firebase:firebase-crash:15.0.2'
implementation 'com.google.firebase:firebase-appindexing:15.0.1'
implementation 'com.google.firebase:firebase-invites:15.0.1'
implementation fileTree(include: ['*.jar'], dir: 'libs')
androidTestImplementation('com.android.support.test.espresso:espresso-core:2.2.2', {
    exclude group: 'com.android.support', module: 'support-annotations'
})
implementation 'com.google.firebase:firebase-firestore:16.0.0'
implementation 'com.firebaseui:firebase-ui-auth:4.0.0'
implementation 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:27.1.1'
implementation 'com.android.support.constraint:constraint-layout:1.1.0'
implementation 'com.android.support:design:27.1.1'
implementation 'com.android.support:support-v4:27.1.1'
implementation 'com.android.support:support-vector-drawable:27.1.1'
implementation 'com.android.support:recyclerview-v7:27.1.1'
implementation 'com.android.support:cardview-v7:27.1.1'
implementation 'com.google.code.gson:gson:2.8.2'
testImplementation 'junit:junit:4.12'
 }
 // Add to the bottom of the file - this is for Google Firebase
 apply plugin: 'com.google.gms.google-services'

Everything seems to work until I add the implementation 'com.firebaseui:firebase-ui-auth:4.0.0'

Thanks for your help!

If you are using firebaseui version 4.0.0, then it needs to be compatible with the firebase libraries versions also.

The version 4.0.0, FirebaseUI has the following dependency versions:

     Library        Version
firebase-auth       16.0.1
play-services-auth  15.0.1
firebase-database   16.0.1
firebase-firestore  17.0.1
firebase-storage    16.0.1

more info here:

https://github.com/firebase/FirebaseUI-Android#compatibility-with-firebase--google-play-services-libraries

Also upgrade:

implementation 'com.google.firebase:firebase-core:15.0.2'
implementation 'com.google.firebase:firebase-messaging:15.0.2'
implementation 'com.google.firebase:firebase-crash:15.0.2'
implementation 'com.google.firebase:firebase-appindexing:15.0.1'
implementation 'com.google.firebase:firebase-invites:15.0.1'

to the following:

implementation 'com.google.firebase:firebase-core:16.0.1'
implementation 'com.google.firebase:firebase-messaging:17.0.0'
implementation 'com.google.firebase:firebase-crash:16.0.1'
implementation 'com.google.firebase:firebase-appindexing:16.0.1'
implementation 'com.google.firebase:firebase-invites:16.0.1'
