Where is GMS plugin compatible with compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-appindexing:9.4.0'

[Joe White]

When I attempt to upgrade my build file from v9.2.1 to v9.4.0

old: compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-appindexing:9.2.1'

new compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-appindexing:9.4.0' 

 

I get an error message indicating that the GMS plugin is not up-to-date.  What should I change to get a compatible version?

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 9.2.1.

The module build.gradle file closes with

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

and I have 

classpath 'com.google.gms:google-services:3.0.0'

in the project build.gradle file.  There does not seem to be a later version.

Hey Joe,

This is very strange to me, I have been successfully using 3.0.0 with the 9.4.0 libs no problem.  Could you share your whole build.gradle?

Here is the build gradle file (note, if I do NOT use the closing plugin, there is no error

Ah ok I think here's the issue.  So the plugin decides what version of gms/Firebase you're using by reading your dependencies block, but it stops at the first one which is 9.2.1 in this case.   But then you're adding app indexing 9.4.0, and mixing versions can product a conflict.  Try updating all of the 9.2.1 dependencies to 9.4.0, and update the FirebaseUI dependency to 0.4.4 to match.  I think that'll make it all work.

And yes, I agree, that's a lot of version numbers to keep track of 😉

That did it.

However, why does Android Studio "warn" me that the 

compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-appindexing:9.2.1'

is out of date (and that v9.4.0 is available), but has NO indication that the later version for firebase elements is available?

compile 'com.firebaseui:firebase-ui-database:0.4.3'

compile 'com.google.firebase:firebase-core:9.2.1'

compile 'com.google.firebase:firebase-auth:9.2.1'

compile 'com.google.firebase:firebase-database:9.2.1'e

Where can I find the "most recent" version (I hate to have to keep going to many diifferent non-listed web sites to try to figure out what is available). 

[Samuel Stern]

Glad that worked! I'm pretty sure Android Studio is just looking for 'com.google.android.gms' when trying to tell you what's out of date.

For now the latest version number of the play services libraries is always the same as the latest version of the Firebase libraries, and you should always try to keep them in sync.

Also I flagged this issue on the Android Studio bug tracker a little while back if you'd like to follow along:
