There are two build.gradle files in an Android Project. One is for app-level and another one is for your project root-level.
In order to setup Firebase correctly, You have to write like following in your root-level (project-level) Gradle file (build.gradle):
buildscript {
repositories {
// Check that you have the following line (if not, add it):
google() // Google's Maven repository
}
dependencies {
// ...
// Add the following line:
classpath 'com.google.gms:google-services:4.3.3' // Google Services plugin
}
}
allprojects {
// ...
repositories {
// Check that you have the following line (if not, add it):
google() // Google's Maven repository
// ...
}
}
In your module (app-level) Gradle file (usually app/build.gradle), apply the Google Services Gradle plugin like below snippet:
apply plugin: 'com.android.application'
// Add the following line:
apply plugin: 'com.google.gms.google-services' // Google Services plugin
android {
// ...
}
You are doing everything but in the app-level file. Try Fixing it and tell whether it worked or not.
