Version conflict updating to play-services 9.4.0 Android studio 2.2

Question

I get an error saying

 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 9.0.0.

I tried looking at https://bintray.com/android/android-tools/com.google.gms.google-services/ and com.google.gms:google-services:3.0.0 seems to be the latest. This is my project gradle

dependencies {
            classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:2.1.2'
            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
        }

And this is how my app gradle looks like

buildscript {
        repositories {
            maven { url 'https://maven.fabric.io/public' }
        }

        dependencies {
            classpath 'io.fabric.tools:gradle:1.+'
        }
    }
    apply plugin: 'com.android.application'
    apply plugin: 'io.fabric'
    apply plugin: 'com.google.gms.google-services'

    repositories {
        maven { url 'https://maven.fabric.io/public' }
    }

        buildToolsVersion "24.0.1"

        buildTypes {

                lintOptions {

                }

        compile('com.crashlytics.sdk.android:crashlytics:2.5.5@aar') {
            transitive = true;
        }
        compile files('libs/InMobi-5.2.2.jar')
        compile files('libs/libadapterinmobi.jar')
        compile files('libs/StartAppAdMobMediation-1.0.1.jar')
        compile files('libs/StartAppInApp-3.3.1.jar')
        compile 'org.adw.library:discrete-seekbar:1.0.1'
        compile 'com.pnikosis:materialish-progress:1.0'
    }

If I change the play services to 9.0.0 everything compiles fine. What am I missing here?

Answer 1

You need to put the apply plugin: 'com.google.gms.google-services' line below your dependencies block - this allows the plugin to determine what version of Play services you are using.
