Problems using newest version of firebase

Question

Sorry for having opened another question about this issue. I have followed all the suggested solutions in the old questions but it still does not work. I get the error:

Error:Execution failed for task ':app:processTravelrepublicDebugGoogleServices'.

Please fix the version conflict either by updating the version of the google-services plugin (information about the latest version is available at https://bintray.com/android/android-tools/com.google.gms.google-services/) or updating the version of com.google.android.gms to 9.0.0.

If I switch back to 9.0.0 for the google-play-services then I get the error:

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

The project level build.gradle is:

buildscript {
    repositories {
        jcenter()
    }
    dependencies {
        classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:2.2.3'
        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()
        maven { url "https://jitpack.io" }
    }
}

Answer 1

Remove the plugin: 'com.google.gms.google-services' at the top of the file.

apply plugin: 'com.android.application'
apply plugin: 'io.fabric'
//apply plugin: 'com.google.gms.google-services'
apply plugin: 'com.neenbedankt.android-apt'
apply plugin: 'me.tatarka.retrolambda'

Also use the use the latest version of Google Play services 10.0.1
