Gradle cannot resolve the most recent Firebase libraries , i.e, versions of 9.4.0

Question

I am trying to upgrade my Firebase libraries to the new 9.4.0 version; however, I get the "can't resolve" error in Gradle upon syncing. Here's the error:

Error:(38, 13) Failed to resolve: com.google.firebase:firebase-core:9.4.0
Error:(40, 13) Failed to resolve: com.google.firebase:firebase-auth:9.4.0
Error:(40, 13) Failed to resolve: com.google.firebase:firebase-storage:9.4.0

Tried with and without firebase-core, no difference.

Here's my Gradle for both app and project level: project level:

  buildscript {
repositories {
    jcenter()
    mavenLocal()
}
dependencies {
    classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:2.1.2'
    classpath 'com.google.gms:google-services:3.0.0'
    // NOTE: Do not place your application dependencies here; they belong
    // in the individual module build.gradle files
}
 }

 allprojects {
repositories {
    jcenter()
    mavenLocal()
}
}

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

and for the module:app level: apply plugin: 'com.android.application'

    android {
compileSdkVersion 24
buildToolsVersion "24.0.0"

defaultConfig {
    applicationId "com.example.main.projectone"
    minSdkVersion 18
    targetSdkVersion 24
    versionCode 1
    versionName "1.0"
    multiDexEnabled true
}
buildTypes {
    release {
        minifyEnabled false
        proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'),     'proguard-rules.pro'
    }
}
 }

dependencies {
compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])
testCompile 'junit:junit:4.12'

//  compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-gcm:9.2.0'
//  compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services:9.2.1'

compile('com.facebook.android:facebook-android-sdk:4.7.0') {
    exclude module: 'bolts-android'
}

//  compile 'com.fasterxml.jackson.core:jackson-core:2.8.1'
// compile 'com.fasterxml.jackson.core:jackson-databind:2.8.1'


compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:24.0.0'

compile 'de.hdodenhof:circleimageview:2.1.0'
compile 'com.android.support:recyclerview-v7:24.0.0'
}

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

Any idea why Gradle cannot resolve the libraries? Here's Firebase website addressing them Firebase Newest Libs. Appreciate your help.

Update the SDK Tools in Android Studio. After upgrading Google Play Services and Google Repository to the latest versions, I was able to resolve the same issue faced with latest version 9.4.0 of Firebase libraries
