How to fix Error:Could not find com.google.gms: google-services: 3.0.0.?

Question

I am trying to add firebase addmob in my app.

In build.gradle(Project) i have following code

buildscript {
    repositories {
        jcenter()
    }
    dependencies {
        classpath 'com.google.gms: google-services: 3.0.0'
        classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:2.1.3'

        // NOTE: Do not place your application dependencies here; they belong
        // in the individual module build.gradle files
    }
}

In build.gradle(module)

apply plugin: 'com.android.application'

android {
    compileSdkVersion 23
    buildToolsVersion "24.0.2"

    defaultConfig {
        applicationId "com.myname.examp.myapp"
        minSdkVersion 14
        targetSdkVersion 23
        versionCode 1
        versionName "1.0"
    }
    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.android.support:appcompat-v7:23.0.0'
    compile 'com.android.support:design:23.0.0'
    compile 'com.google.firebase: firebase-ads: 9.0.0'
}
apply plugin: 'com.google.gms.google-services'

Can some one help me how to fix this error

Answer 1

I had similar problem, I copied the dependency from the firebase instructions and pasted in code.

From instructions:

classpath 'com.google.gms: google-services: 3.0.0'

Supposed to be:

classpath 'com.google.gms:google-services:3.0.0'

Should not include any spaces. Silly but wasted half an hour.
