Error deploying app with Google Services v15

Question

I use a couple of Google Services in my Android app and have been on v11.8.0 until I upgraded to v15.0.0. This is the error I get when I try to run the project:

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

I've tried using v15.0.2 of Firebase services and v15.0.1 of Google services but they all yield the same result.

Reverting everything back to v11.8.0 works but any update won't. What's changed?

I've updated by Google services plugin version to 3.3.0 but the issue still persists.

// Top-level build file where you can add configuration options common to all sub-projects/modules.

buildscript {
    ext.kotlin_version = '1.2.41'
    ext.anko_version = '0.10.4'
    ext.google_services_version = '15.0.2'
    repositories {
        jcenter()
        google()
    }
    dependencies {
        classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.1.2'
        classpath 'com.google.gms:google-services:3.3.0'
        classpath "org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-gradle-plugin:$kotlin_version"
        classpath "io.realm:realm-gradle-plugin:3.5.0"

        // NOTE: Do not place your application dependencies here; they belong
        // in the individual module build.gradle files
    }
}

allprojects {
    repositories {
        jcenter()
        maven { url 'https://jitpack.io' }
        maven { url 'https://maven.google.com' }
        google()
    }
}

I've cleaned the project multiple times, invalidated caches and restarted Android Studio multiple times as well but nothing's changed.

@PeterHaddad I have but nothing's changed. I am using v3.3.0 of google-services and the latest firebase and google-services versions but the error is still there. — Alex Kombo, May 07 '18 at 10:23
clean and rebuild the project, also which android studio are u using? @AlexKombo — Peter Haddad, May 07 '18 at 11:21
I'm using Android Studio 3.1.2. I've cleaned and rebuilt the project multiple times to no avail. I've just reverted back to `11.8.0` and moved on until I find a viable solution. — Alex Kombo, May 07 '18 at 11:52

Please refer https://firebase.google.com/support/release-notes/android and adding appropriate firebase Services in your Android Project.

You have to use the google play services plugin 3.3.0:

classpath 'com.google.gms:google-services:3.3.0'

I've made this change but the error still persists. – Alex Kombo May 07 '18 at 09:47
Updated your dependencies to the latest available with version 15: https://firebase.google.com/support/release-notes/android – Gabriele Mariotti May 07 '18 at 09:59
I am using `v15.0.2` for `Firebase core, auth and config` and `v15.0.1` for `play-services-gcm` and `play-services-auth` – Alex Kombo May 07 '18 at 10:07
