IONIC/Cordova - Execution failed for task ':transformClassesWithDexForArmv7Debug [duplicate]

I get the error com.android.dex.DexException: Multiple dex files define Lcom/google/android/gms/internal/zzau; when i run my app

How do i fix this? i guess the error occurs because i use google play services in both the module and the app. but the versions are different. is that causing an issue?

I had similar problem and your question helped me solve mine and probably will help you solve yours. Problem is that you have defined:
dependencies {
...
compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-cast:7.5.0'
}
and
dependencies {
...
compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services:7.0.+'
...
}
Since google services 7.5.0, if you're using single modules from play services you can't use whole play services as dependency simultaneously. Solution is to select only those services that you need instead of whole package e.g.:
instead of
dependencies {
...
compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services:7.0.+'
...
}
use
dependencies {
...
compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-maps:7.0.+'
compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-location:7.0.+'
compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-gcm:7.0.+'
...
}
Also I'm not sure but probably it would be good idea to use the same version of google services in both gradle configs.

I had a similar problem after building using phonegap/cordova:
com.android.dex.DexException: Multiple dex files define Lcom/google/android/gms/internal/zzsk;
I fixed it by editing build.gradle(module Android), as I had 2 libraries that should have the exact same version with different version numbers (8.4.0 and 9.2.1 in my case)
dependencies{
....
//make sure are both same version (8.4.0 or 9.2.1 in my case)
compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-gcm:9.2.1'
// this is the one I changed: compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-location:8.4.0'
compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-location:9.2.1' // it was 8.4.0
....
}

Firebase Android SDKs now have independent version numbers, allowing
for more frequent, flexible updates.
Update all your Firebase dependencies to the latest version (as of 2 May 2018):
Firebase Core com.google.firebase:firebase-core:15.0.2
Ads com.google.firebase:firebase-ads:15.0.0
Analytics com.google.firebase:firebase-analytics:15.0.2
App Indexing com.google.firebase:firebase-appindexing:15.0.0
Authentication com.google.firebase:firebase-auth:15.1.0
Cloud Firestore com.google.firebase:firebase-firestore:16.0.0
Cloud Functions com.google.firebase:firebase-functions:15.0.0
Cloud Messaging com.google.firebase:firebase-messaging:15.0.2
Cloud Storage com.google.firebase:firebase-storage:15.0.2
Crash Reporting com.google.firebase:firebase-crash:15.0.2

Remote Config com.google.firebase:firebase-config:15.0.2
Release note: https://firebase.google.com/support/release-notes/android

I encountered the same issue after manually adding Firebase to my app.
For me the solution was changing:
classpath 'com.google.gms:google-services:3.2.0'
to:
classpath 'com.google.gms:google-services:3.0.0'
in the root-level build.gradle file.

If this is happening with react-native-device-info, you can only change from:
compile(project(':react-native-device-info'))
to
compile(project(':react-native-device-info')) {
exclude group: 'com.google.android.gms'
}
As described here:
https://github.com/rebeccahughes/react-native-device-info/blob/81b0c20fab8a10ccf0341dbd6710d7a5915b06a6/README.md#troubleshooting

Had the same issue while integrating firebase. For my case, it was caused by version mismatch.
on the app gradle, i had:
ext {
PLAY_SERVICES_VERSION = '10.2.0'
}
dependencies {
compile "com.google.android.gms:play-services-maps:$PLAY_SERVICES_VERSION"
compile "com.google.android.gms:play-services-location:$PLAY_SERVICES_VERSION"
compile "com.google.android.gms:play-services-places:$PLAY_SERVICES_VERSION"
compile 'com.google.firebase:firebase-database:10.0.1'
}
the firebase dependancy was added through the integrated firebase plugin in Android studio. When i matched the versions, it worked.

I had this issue recently, the reason was the version difference:
'com.google.firebase:firebase-ads:9.0.6'
'com.google.firebase:firebase-crash:11.0.2'
so make sure you have the same version.

I had the same problem but mine was cause by firebase-ui newest version 2.0.0. So I downgraded to 1.2.0 and added the following line to Project level build.gradle file:
allprojects {
repositories {
jcenter()
// Add the following code
maven {
url 'https://maven.fabric.io/public'
}
}
}

My project is a cordova ionic1 project, I spent a full night and morning to solve this issue, this is what I did beacuse i was having firebase dependencies and google services:
Go to this file :
platforms\android\cordova-plugin-firebase\cordova-plugin-firebase\app-build.gradle
buildscript {
repositories {
mavenCentral()
}
dependencies {
// classpath 'com.google.gms:google-services:3.0.0'
// i changed the above line from 3.0.0 to 3.1.1
classpath 'com.google.gms:google-services:3.1.1'
}
}
repositories {
mavenCentral()
}
dependencies {
compile 'me.leolin:ShortcutBadger:1.1.4#aar'
//compile 'com.google.firebase:firebase-crash:+'
// i changed the above line from + to 11.0.2
compile 'com.google.firebase:firebase-crash:11.0.2'
}
Then Go to this file:
platforms\android\project.properties
Originally i was having this
target=android-26
android.library.reference.1=CordovaLib
cordova.gradle.include.1=cordova-plugin-firebase/app-build.gradle
cordova.system.library.1=com.google.gms:google-services:+
cordova.system.library.2=com.google.firebase:firebase-core:+
cordova.system.library.3=com.google.firebase:firebase-messaging:+
cordova.system.library.4=com.google.firebase:firebase-crash:+
cordova.system.library.5=com.google.firebase:firebase-config:+
cordova.system.library.6=com.android.support:support-v4:24.1.1+
cordova.system.library.7=com.google.android.gms:play-services-auth:11.+
cordova.system.library.8=com.google.android.gms:play-services-identity:11.+
Then i commented out the google services as we need specific dependencies and I also put the versions for firebase and gms to the same version number of 11.0.2
so after my file looks like this
target=android-26
android.library.reference.1=CordovaLib
cordova.gradle.include.1=cordova-plugin-firebase/app-build.gradle
# cordova.system.library.1=com.google.gms:google-services:+
cordova.system.library.2=com.google.firebase:firebase-core:11.0.2
cordova.system.library.3=com.google.firebase:firebase-messaging:11.0.2
cordova.system.library.4=com.google.firebase:firebase-crash:11.0.2
cordova.system.library.5=com.google.firebase:firebase-config:11.0.2
cordova.system.library.6=com.android.support:support-v4:24.1.1+
cordova.system.library.7=com.google.android.gms:play-services-auth:11.0.2
cordova.system.library.8=com.google.android.gms:play-services-identity:11.0.2

If anyone had the same issues as mine, I removed the firebase-core dependency and it worked like a charm.
dependencies{
implementation 'com.google.firebase:firebase-core:15.0.0'
implementation 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-ads:15.0.0'
implementation 'com.google.firebase:firebase-crash:15.0.0'
implementation 'com.google.firebase:firebase-messaging:15.0.0'
}
to
dependencies{
implementation 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-ads:15.0.0'
implementation 'com.google.firebase:firebase-crash:15.0.0'
implementation 'com.google.firebase:firebase-messaging:15.0.0'
}

I was having this issue and none of the solutions worked. What worked for me was adding this plugin
cordova plugin add cordova-android-play-services-gradle-release --save
and then in both /platforms/android/cordova-plugin-fcm/ and /platforms/android/cordova-plugin-open/ replace
apply plugin: com.google.gms.googleservices.GoogleServicesPlugin
with:
ext.postBuildExtras = {
apply plugin: com.google.gms.googleservices.GoogleServicesPlugin
}

If anyone else comes across this issue in Ionic removing and re-adding the platform worked for me:
> ionic cordova rm platform android
> ionic cordova add platform android

For anyone wondering how to fix this for Apache Cordova plugins, I fixed this problem by ensuring all plugin.xml files include the same major and minor version, but latest revision, like this:
<framework src="com.google.firebase:firebase-auth:15.0.+" />
<framework src="com.google.firebase:firebase-messaging:15.0.+" />
When using 15.0.0 above, the com.android.dex.DexException error was raised for some reason. By using + for the revision number (which means, latest), everything worked perfectly with cordova 7.1.0 and cordova-android 6.3.0.
Remember to remove and re-add the android platform after editing plugin.xml from plugins, otherwise your changes won't be applied at all!
Also: Ensure only ONE gradle file is applying this, just in case:
dependencies {
classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:+'
classpath 'com.google.gms:google-services:3.0.0'
}

I was also having this issue, I tried many ways to solve this issue. What worked for me was removing following line from my gradle.
compile 'com.google.firebase:firebase-core:16.0.3'
At first I have both firebase-core and firebase-ml-vision (what I need was only firebase-ml-vision) like following.
compile 'com.google.firebase:firebase-ml-vision:17.0.0'
compile 'com.google.firebase:firebase-core:16.0.3'
After I remove the line I got following warning,
Warning: The app gradle file must have a dependency on
com.google.firebase:firebase-core for Firebase services to work as
intended.
But, according to official docs the core dependency can be absent (https://firebase.google.com/docs/ml-kit/android/detect-faces), so it can be ignored.

Firebase dependency conflict Found 'com.google.firebase:firebase-database:11.0.4', with 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-vision:9.4.0'

my application include QR Scanner and Generator but when i add 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-vision:9.4.0' library it conflect with 'com.google.firebase:firebase-database:11.0.4' library
here my Gradle dependences
plus it shows me an error ..
Error:Execution failed for task ':app:processDebugGoogleServices'.
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 9.8.0.

Always try to use same version of APIs when you are dealing with google APIs:
If you are using Android Studio 3.0 you can use both compile and implementation
implementation 'com.google.firebase:firebase-database:11.0.4'
implementation 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-vision:11.0.4'
If you are using Android Studio version below 3.0 use compile
compile 'com.google.firebase:firebase-database:11.0.4'
compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-vision:11.0.4'

Try this
implementation 'com.google.firebase:firebase-database:11.0.4'
implementation 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-vision:11.0.4'

Add this:
implementation 'com.google.firebase:firebase-database:9.0.0'
compile 'com.google.firebase:firebase-database:9.0.0'

Error: fix the version conflict (google-services plugin)

As per this SO thread, I know there are version conflicts, but issue still persists after new versions from Google.
Error:Execution failed for task ':app:processDebugGoogleServices'.
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 10.0.1.
My build.gradle(Module: app)
....
dependencies {
compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])
androidTestCompile('com.android.support.test.espresso:espresso-core:2.2.2', {
exclude group: 'com.android.support', module: 'support-annotations'
})
compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:26.+'
compile 'com.android.support.constraint:constraint-layout:1.0.2'
testCompile 'junit:junit:4.12'
compile 'com.google.firebase:firebase-messaging:10.0.1'
compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-maps:11.0.4'
compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-location:11.0.4'
}
apply plugin: 'com.google.gms.google-services'
What changes are required now?

I think you change
compile 'com.google.firebase:firebase-messaging:11.0.4'

Same error gets thrown when
apply plugin: 'com.google.gms.google-services'
is not added to bottom of the module build.gradle file.

You must use only one version for all 3 libs
compile 'com.google.firebase:firebase-messaging:11.0.4'
compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-maps:11.0.4'
compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-location:11.0.4'
OR only use only 10.0.1 for 3 libs

Please change your project-level build.gradle file in which you have to change your dependencies class path of google-services or build.gradle path.
buildscript {
dependencies {
classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.1.2'
classpath 'com.google.gms:google-services:4.0.1'
}
}

The google play services requires all its dependencies to have the same version. But if you look at your dependencies:
compile 'com.google.firebase:firebase-messaging:10.0.1'
compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-maps:11.0.4'
compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-location:11.0.4'
There is one that has a different version.
It can be solved by changing the version to (in this case) 11.0.4.
This applies to both Firebase and Google Play Services - both have to have matching versions that also correspond with each other. If a Firebase dependency is 10.0.1 and a Google Play Services dependency is 11.0.4, the same error will occur.
Note that in some cases, there can be a library that has a different version of a library (e.g. library x uses play-services-games:10.0.1 while you use 11.0.4 for the dependencies in your app)
Edit
This answer does NOT cover the newer versions where versions are individual. Update com.google.gms:google-services:4.1.0 and check mvnrepository (or some other maven/gradle artifact search tool) to find the newest versions.

With
com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.2.0
You have to use:
classpath 'com.google.gms:google-services:4.1.0'
This fixed my problem

For fire base to install properly all the versions of the fire base compiles must be in same version so
compile 'com.google.firebase:firebase-messaging:11.0.4'
compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-maps:11.0.4'
compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-location:11.0.4'
this is the correct way to do it.

Initially, the firebase database was pointing to 11.8.0 .after changing all the related jars to 11.0.4 this issue is resolved at changes the SDK level.
compile 'com.google.firebase:firebase-database:11.0.4'
compile 'com.google.firebase:firebase-messaging:11.0.4'

Important Update
Both Firebase & Play-service dependencies are having independent versions unlike past. If
you have version conflicts then you can update your
com.google.gms:google-services. and start defining independent version.
Step(1): Update com.google.gms:google-services
Open project level build.gradle and update com.google.gms:google-services to version 4.1.0 MUST CHECK newer if available.
buildscript {
...
dependencies {
classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.2.0'
classpath 'com.google.gms:google-services:4.1.0' //< update this
}
}
Step(2): Update Firebase dependencies Latest Versions
Firebase dependency versions can be individual.
com.google.firebase:firebase-core:16.0.3 //Analytics, check latest too
com.google.firebase:firebase-database:16.0.2 //Realtime Database, check latest too
Step(3): Update Play Services dependencies Latest Versions
Play services versions also can have individual versions.
com.google.android.gms:play-services-ads:17.1.2 //Ads, check latest too
com.google.android.gms:play-services-analytics:16.0.6 //Analytics, check latest too
Still having issue?
You can check which dependency is making conflict by reading this answer.

Update google services and Firebase library to latest version
google services
classpath 'com.google.gms:google-services:4.3.1'
firebase
implementation 'com.google.firebase:firebase-database:19.0.0'

as the message says go to:
com.google.gms.google-services versions
And copy the last version's number . Mine was less than 3.3.1.
Then in project's build.gradle put/change dependencies node as :
dependencies {
classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.1.2' // as it was before
classpath 'com.google.gms:google-services:3.3.1' // <-- the version change
}
Then I synced the project and error went

All google services should be of same version, try matching every versions.
Correct one is :
implementation 'com.google.firebase:firebase-auth:11.6.0'
implementation 'com.google.firebase:firebase-database:11.6.0'
Incorrect Config is :
implementation 'com.google.firebase:firebase-auth:11.6.0'
implementation 'com.google.firebase:firebase-database:11.8.0'

After All Working for 6 hours i got the solution...
Simple Just what ever the plugins you defined in the build.gradle file... for ex: google services plugins or firebase plugins or any third party plugins all the **version code** should be same..
Example: In my application i am using following plugins...
// google services plugins
implementation 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-analytics:10.0.1'
implementation 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-gcm:10.0.1'
implementation 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-base:11.6.1'
implementation 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-auth-api-phone:11.6.0'
//firebase plugin
implementation 'com.google.firebase:firebase-ads:10.0.1'
//Third Party plugin
implementation 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-auth:16.0.0'
In the above plugins version code(ex:10.0.1, 16.0.0, 11.6.1) are different I was facing fix the version conflict (google-services plugin) issue
Below for all plugins i have given single version code(11.6.0) and the issue is resovled...
// google services plugins
implementation 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-analytics:11.6.0'
implementation 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-gcm:11.6.0'
implementation 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-base:11.6.0'
implementation 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-auth-api-phone:11.6.0'
//firebase plugin
implementation 'com.google.firebase:firebase-ads:11.6.0'
//Third Party plugin
implementation 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-auth:11.6.0'
**Syn Gradle**...
Go to Build>>Rebuild Projcet...
Sure it will work....#Ambilpura

install or update google play services. Secondly, check your 'com.google.gms:google-services:3.0.0' version . Check , this by upgrading it if still not work to 3.1.0

How to update the version of com.google.android.gms to 10.2.1

Error:Execution failed for task ':app:processDebugGoogleServices'.
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 10.2.1.

This error arises when you are using different libraries which have dependencies on different google gems
I was facing the issue with this
This was the code in build.gradle (Module :app )
dependencies{
compile 'com.google.firebase:firebase-core:11.4.2'
compile 'com.google.firebase:firebase-auth:11.8.0'
}
and I resolved this with the following
dependencies{
compile 'com.google.firebase:firebase-core:11.8.0'
compile 'com.google.firebase:firebase-auth:11.8.0'
}
so just a side note , keep your code updated to latest dependencies.
Hope this helps

Android Studio: Could not find any version that matches com.google.gms:play-services:6.1.+

I've recently updated my android studio and when I try to sync my gradle file I get the below error:
Could not find any version that matches com.google.gms:play-services:6.1.+
I understand that Android Studio ships with it's own sdk so I've installed the ADT sdk and pointed my project to this but I still get the same error, here are my gradle dependencies:
dependencies {
compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:20.+'
compile 'com.path:android-priority-jobqueue:1.1.2'
compile files('libs/Parse-1.4.2.jar')
compile project(':ws_wrapper')
compile project(':custom_slider_library')
compile 'com.crashlytics.android:crashlytics:1.+'
compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services:6.1.+'
compile project(':shinobicharts-android-library')
compile files('libs/shinobicharts-android-trial-1.3.5.jar')
compile files('libs/androidplot-core-0.6.1-SNAPSHOT.jar')
compile files('libs/activation.jar')
compile files('libs/additionnal.jar')
compile files('libs/mail.jar')
compile files('libs/universal-image-loader-1.9.2.jar')
compile files('libs/twitter4j-core-4.0.1.jar')
}
I'm unsure as to what to do next, my sdk manager is up to date, does anyone have any ideas? I can't run this at the moment due to this issue.
If I try to add a dependency via the project structure the google play services isn't available on the maven drop down list.
Just to add this line #integer/google_play_services_version in the manifest is also causing an issue it says cannot resolve symbol

Your SDK isn't actually up-to-date. You need to install revision 12 of the Google Repository; that's the one that ships Google Play Services 6.1.11.
