@wangbourne You have classpath 'com.google.gms:google-services:1.5.0

I think you want classpath 'com.google.gms:google-services:3.0.0

[skywalkerlw]

You are right :)

[Zapnologica]

I get the same error with classpath 'com.google.gms:google-services:3.0.0

[alexkendall]

@Zapnologica Same error.

[nileshkatuwal]

add this in gradle (worked for me)

compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services:10.2.1'
