Failed to find: com.google.android.gms:play-services-gcm:8.3.0

Question

I am integrating GCM to a project using Android Studio for that I am adding google play service dependencies to top level gradle as below snippet code:

dependencies {
    classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:1.3.0'
    classpath 'com.google.gms:google-services:1.5.0-beta2'  //this one
}

But I am getting error Failed to find: com.google.android.gms:play-services-gcm:8.3.0 and Failed to find: com.google.android.gms:play-services-measurement:8.3.0. I have updated the goole play service from SDK manager and sync the project.

I have added apply plugin: 'com.google.gms.google-services' in top-level gradle also but its still showing same error

add `apply plugin: 'com.google.gms.google-services'` in project level gradle — M D, Dec 11 '15 at 09:39

Can u try as explained here http://stackoverflow.com/questions/30527369/error-could-not-find-com-google-gmsgoogle-services1-0-when-adding-google-ser — Raghavendra, Dec 11 '15 at 09:47
@Raghavendra - the link you have given is for different issue its not the same issue. — Pankaj, Dec 11 '15 at 09:49
i have the same issue, better you download lay service library and add as a module then set references, NOTE : do't forgot to build gradle for play service library. and add in your gradle file, it will work — Sree, Dec 11 '15 at 09:51
@Sree - that is what i am asking what should i have to add in gradle??? I have tried to use `compile com.google.android.gms:play-services-gcm:8.1.0` but wouldn't help me out — Pankaj, Dec 11 '15 at 09:53
Really i am sorry, i dot know what is your problem, I had the same issue, i resolved it by adding play services library as module in to my project and set that as dependency — Sree, Dec 11 '15 at 09:59
and do your updated classpath 'com.google.gms:google-services:1.5.0-beta2' with *'classpath 'com.google.gms:google-services:1.5.0''* — Sree, Dec 11 '15 at 10:01
Google official document showing `classpath 'com.google.gms:google-services:1.5.0-beta2'` you can check [here](https://developers.google.com/cloud-messaging/android/client) — Pankaj, Dec 11 '15 at 10:11

You dont need to reference the full google play services just add the GCM reference to the build.gradel module.

this is what mine looks like and works fine.

dependencies {
    compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])
    compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:22.2.1'
    compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-gcm:7.8.0'
}

then make sure you run the build.grade. the version may have also changed since i added mine.

Also note you are putting it into the wrong gradel file, use the module not the top one

Please make sure you have latest Android Studio installed, along with updated Google Play Services. It can also be a cause of error mentioned. Moreover, you don't need to add plugin line apply plugin: 'com.google.gms.google-services' as well. It will compile fine without it. Currently, I am using Android Studio 2.1 and gradle version 2.10 to compile following gradle configuration.

Build.gradle (Project Level)

buildscript {
    repositories {
        jcenter()
    }
    dependencies {
        classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:2.1.0-alpha3'

        // NOTE: Do not place your application dependencies here; they belong
        // in the individual module build.gradle files
        classpath 'com.google.gms:google-services:2.0.0-alpha6'
    }
}

allprojects {
    repositories {
        jcenter()
    }
}

task clean(type: Delete) {
    delete rootProject.buildDir
}

Build.gradle (app Module)

apply plugin: 'com.android.application'

android {
    compileSdkVersion 23
    buildToolsVersion "23.0.1"

    defaultConfig {
        applicationId "your.package.id.here"
        minSdkVersion 16
        targetSdkVersion 23
        versionCode 1
        versionName "1.0"
    }
    buildTypes {
        release {
            minifyEnabled false
            proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
        }
    }
}

dependencies {
    compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])
    testCompile 'junit:junit:4.12'
    compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-gcm:8.4.0'
   }
