Found com.google.android.gms:play-services:8.4.0, but version 8.3.0 is needed for the google-services plugin

Can't use google maps because of above said error. Anyone find the same issue ?

Make sure that the following line is at the end of the app build.gradle file:
apply plugin: 'com.google.gms.google-services'
Mine was on the top and gradle was defaulting to 8.3.0 instead of what was specified: 8.4.0
My build.gradle files are the same as the ones in the Version conflict updating to 8.4.0

As those previous anweres are only part-wise complete.
Here are my three steps which worked fine for me:
Put this to the end of your apps build.gradle
apply plugin: 'com.google.gms.google-services'
Set your projects build.gradle dependencies to
'classpath 'com.google.gms:google-services:2.0.0-alpha5'
Set Gradle Version to 2.10
Android Studio: File > Project Structure > Project

#redsonic's answer worked for me.. By simply moving apply plugin:
'com.google.gms.google-services' after the dependecies in
build.gradle (Module: app)
I'm using Android Studio 1.5.1 with Gradle version 2.10
In case you are using Gradle version older than 2.10 you'll also need to update that by selecting the ProjectName or app directory in the Project tool Windows and pressing F4. This will open Project Structure window, select Project from the menu and update Gradle version to 2.10. Press OK (Android Studio will download it in background).
build.gradle (Project: ProjectName)
dependencies {
classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:1.5.0'
classpath 'com.google.gms:google-services:2.0.0-alpha6'
}
build.gradle (Module: app)
dependencies {
compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])
compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services:8.4.0'
}
apply plugin: 'com.google.gms.google-services'

This is a slight variant of #Lord Flash's answer:
For me it wasn't necessarily that I should place the google services plugin at the bottom of the file it was that it should come before the com.android.application plugin.
apply plugin: 'com.google.gms.google-services'
apply plugin: 'com.android.application'
Also there are newer binaries than the alpha variants for google-services
buildscript {
repositories {
jcenter()
}
dependencies {
classpath 'com.google.gms:google-services:2.0.0-beta6'
}
}
I'm sure there will be newer ones soon. I found the list of variants here

follow all the steps at this link Add App Invites to Your App
use this : compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-appinvite:8.4.0'
instead of this : compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services:8.4.0'
please follow all the steps and then build the project
hope thats help

I had the same problem, and I found that moving:
apply plugin: 'com.google.gms.google-services'
To the bottom of the module app gradle.
and then use:
classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:2.1.0'
classpath 'com.google.gms:google-services:2.1.0'

The problem is that some of your app dependencies that start with com.google.android.gms: have a version that is incompatible your project dependencie classpath 'com.google.gms:google-services:
Check for these on your app build.gradle
compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-plus:8.4.0'
compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-analytics:8.4.0'
compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-gcm:8.4.0'
compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-maps:8.4.0'
And for this in your project build.gradle
classpath 'com.google.gms:google-services:1.5.0'
You can update your project build.gradle to use the latest google-services version or your can just change your app dependencies to use the 8.3 version.

// Top-level build file where you can add configuration options common to all sub-projects/modules.
buildscript {
repositories {
jcenter()
}
dependencies {
classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:2.1.0'
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()
}
}
task clean(type: Delete) {
delete rootProject.buildDir
}
// this should solve the gradle update error if it persists even after following above steps

Make sure that the following line is at the end of the app build.gradle file:
compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services:11.0.2'
google update there API day by day.Now mine is '11.0.2'
try with the updated API

Error:Plugin with id 'com.github.dcendents.android-maven' not found

I'm using this library in my Android app. (https://github.com/yazeed44/MultiImagePicker)
Before now, I was adding it to my project this way:
compile 'net.yazeed44.imagepicker:imagepicker:1.3.0'
The problem with importing it that way is, as far as I know, that I can't override any code because I'll lose all the changes after building the project again. (I need to change some code)
For that reason, I have downloaded the source code and I've imported the project as a module with this name: 'imagepicker'
After that, I added this line to my app build.gradle:
compile project(':imagepicker')
and this to my settings.gradle (Android Studio did it)
include ':app', ':imagepicker'
After doing that, I try to run the project and Android studio shows this error:
Gradle 'Project' project refresh failed
Error:Plugin with id 'com.github.dcendents.android-maven' not found.

Since you are using the module locally you have to add in your top-level build.gradle or in the imagepicker/build.gradle same config added in the imagepicker build.gradle project.
buildscript {
repositories {
jcenter()
}
dependencies {
//ADD THESE DEPENDENCIES
classpath 'com.jfrog.bintray.gradle:gradle-bintray-plugin:1.2'
classpath 'com.github.dcendents:android-maven-gradle-plugin:1.3'
}
}
An alternative can be modify the imagepicker/build.gradle removing the last 2 lines. But you have to test this way.
apply from: 'https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nuuneoi/JCenter/master/installv1.gradle'
apply from: 'https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nuuneoi/JCenter/master/bintrayv1.gradle'
If you check these files you will find the
apply plugin: 'com.github.dcendents.android-maven'
In your case you don't need these files because they are useful only to uplaod in a maven repo the aar file.

I added below code in Project:gradle.build file and its resolved the problem :
allprojects {
repositories {
jcenter()
maven {
url "https://repo.commonsware.com.s3.amazonaws.com"
}
}
}
EDIT
If you still facing after adding above maven dependencies
Change url "https://repo.commonsware.com.s3.amazonaws.com" to url "https://s3.amazonaws.com/repo.commonsware.com".

Gradle errors while adding dependencies in build.gradle

I've tried to included cards library in my project using the below code in my build.gradle file.
buildscript {
repositories {
jcenter()
mavenCentral()
}
dependencies {
classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:1.1.0'
// NOTE: Do not place your application dependencies here; they belong
// in the individual module build.gradle files
}
dependencies {
//Core card library
compile 'com.github.gabrielemariotti.cards:cardslib-core:2.0.1'
//Optional for built-in cards
compile 'com.github.gabrielemariotti.cards:cardslib-cards:2.0.1'
//Optional for RecyclerView
compile 'com.github.gabrielemariotti.cards:cardslib-recyclerview:2.0.1'
//Optional for staggered grid view support
compile 'com.github.gabrielemariotti.cards:cardslib-extra-staggeredgrid:2.0.1'
//Optional for drag and drop support
compile 'com.github.gabrielemariotti.cards:cardslib-extra-dragdrop:2.0.1'
//Optional for twowayview support (coming soon)
//compile 'com.github.gabrielemariotti.cards:cardslib-extra-twoway:2.0.1'
}
}
allprojects {
repositories {
jcenter()
mavenCentral()
}
}
But when compiling, android studio is throwing up errors as below.
Error:(23, 0) Gradle DSL method not found: 'compile()'
Possible causes:The project 'cardslib_1' may be using a version of Gradle that does not contain the method.
Open Gradle wrapper fileThe build file may be missing a Gradle plugin.
Apply Gradle plugin
I'm guessing the reason to be gradle version, which is lower in libraries I'm including.
How to know the gradle version my dependencies are using and how to adjust them to my project.
When I thought to add the libraries, maven has repositories in aar file which I don't think will let you know the gradle version.
Thanks for any help in this regards.

You're adding the dependencies in the wrong place. They should be outside of the buildscript section and in the modules/applications build.gradle.
Parent build.gradle. This should be in the root directory of your project
buildscript {
repositories {
jcenter()
mavenCentral()
}
dependencies {
classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:1.1.0'
}
}
allprojects {
repositories {
jcenter()
mavenCentral()
}
}
Module build.gradle. This should be in the folder of the module you're trying to add the dependencies to.
apply plugin: 'com.android.application'
android {
// Android related settings go here
}
dependencies {
compile 'com.github.gabrielemariotti.cards:cardslib-core:2.0.1'
compile 'com.github.gabrielemariotti.cards:cardslib-cards:2.0.1'
compile 'com.github.gabrielemariotti.cards:cardslib-recyclerview:2.0.1'
compile 'com.github.gabrielemariotti.cards:cardslib-extra-staggeredgrid:2.0.1'
compile 'com.github.gabrielemariotti.cards:cardslib-extra-dragdrop:2.0.1'
}
This assumes that the structure of your project is something like
Project
|___build.gradle
|___Module
|____build.gradle

Gradle maven dependency not found if plugin is android-library

My objective is to compile a library that depends on other libraries (from HoloEverywhere), which are present in a remote maven repository, using Gradle and Android Studio (0.4.4).
If I set apply plugin: to android in the library's build.gradle, the remote maven dependencies are found, otherwise they are not (apply plugin: 'android-library').
Here is my build.gradle with the android object omitted to save in space:
buildscript {
repositories {
mavenCentral()
}
dependencies {
classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:0.8.+'
}
}
apply plugin: 'android-library'
repositories {
mavenCentral()
maven {url 'http://192.241.191.41/repo'}
}
android {...}
dependencies {
compile 'org.holoeverywhere:library:2.1.0#aar'
compile 'org.holoeverywhere:addon-preferences:2.1.0#aar'
compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: '*.jar')
}
The error I get when I press "Sync Project with Gradle Files" in Android Studio is:
7:30:48 PM Failed to refresh Gradle project 'MyTopProject'
Could not find org.holoeverywhere:library:2.1.0.
Required by:
MyTopProject:MyActualApp:unspecified > MyTopProject:MyMessedUpLib:unspecified
Search in build.gradle files
What am I doing wrong? Is this behaviour expected? Should I do it in another way?
Thank you very much.

Android Support Library Setup error

I followed instruction from http://developer.android.com/tools/support-library/setup.html to add the support library to my android project, but got an build error like this
Gradle: A problem occurred evaluating project ':projectname'.
No signature of method: org.gradle.api.internal.artifacts.dsl.dependencies.DefaultDependencyHandler.compile() is applicable for argument types: (java.lang.String) values: [com.android.support:appcompat-v7:18.0.+]
Possible solutions: module(java.lang.Object)
Does anyone know the reason for that? Is it a syntax error in gradle? Below is a piece of code in my build.gradle.
buildscript {
repositories {
mavenCentral()
}
dependencies {
classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:0.6.+'
compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:18.0.+'
}
}

This should be like this:
buildscript {
repositories {
mavenCentral()
}
dependencies {
classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:0.6.+'
// this is for Gradle build system so it finds
// android plugin used below
}
}
apply plugin: 'android'
repositories {
mavenCentral()
}
dependencies {
compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:18.0.+'
// this is for your application
}
Don't forget to install Android Support Repository in Android SDK Manager.
