Found com.google.android.gms:play-services:8.4.0, but version 8.3.0 is needed for the google-services plugin

Question

Can't use google maps because of above said error. Anyone find the same issue ?

Answer 1

Make sure that the following line is at the end of the app build.gradle file:

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

Mine was on the top and gradle was defaulting to 8.3.0 instead of what was specified: 8.4.0

My build.gradle files are the same as the ones in the Version conflict updating to 8.4.0

Answer 2

As those previous anweres are only part-wise complete. Here are my three steps which worked fine for me:

1. Put this to the end of your apps build.gradle

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

2. Set your projects build.gradle dependencies to

   'classpath 'com.google.gms:google-services:2.0.0-alpha5'

3. Set Gradle Version to 2.10
