Failed to execute: com.google.android.gms: play-services-measurement: 9.6.1

Question

Today I updated all my support libraries and buildtools to the latest version for Android N support. As soon as I updated everything and launched the application, I got an error in the InstanceId method of generating GCM in my application. So, I searched and found solutions offering updated game services. After completing all the SO questions and answers, I get stuck and cannot move forward. Switching back to 23.xx support 23.xx not an option since I want to target Android N

Here's what my build.gradle project level files look like:

 buildscript { repositories { jcenter() } dependencies { classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:2.2.0' classpath 'com.google.gms:google-services:3.0.0' } } allprojects { repositories { jcenter() } } 

build.gradle application build.gradle :

 buildscript { repositories { mavenCentral() maven { url 'https://maven.fabric.io/public' } // maven { url 'http://hansel.io/maven' } maven { url "https://jitpack.io" } } dependencies { classpath 'io.fabric.tools:gradle:1.+' // classpath 'io.hansel.preprocessor:preprocessor:1.0.+' } } apply plugin: 'com.android.application' apply plugin: 'io.fabric' //apply plugin: 'io.hansel.preprocessor' android { compileSdkVersion 24 buildToolsVersion "24.0.2" signingConfigs { } defaultConfig { applicationId 'com.example.android' multiDexEnabled true minSdkVersion 16 targetSdkVersion 24 versionCode 47 versionName "1.3.2" renderscriptTargetApi 24 renderscriptSupportModeEnabled true } buildTypes { debug { applicationIdSuffix = ".dev" resValue "string", "app_name", "example-debug" } release { minifyEnabled false shrinkResources false resValue "string", "app_name", "example" proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro' } } productFlavors { dev { // dev utilizes minSDKVersion = 21 to allow the Android gradle plugin // to pre-dex each module and produce an APK that can be tested on // Android Lollipop without time consuming dex merging processes. minSdkVersion 21 } prod { // The actual minSdkVersion for the application. minSdkVersion 16 } } dexOptions { javaMaxHeapSize "4g" } } repositories { mavenCentral() mavenLocal() jcenter() maven { url 'https://maven.fabric.io/public' } maven { url "https://jitpack.io" } // maven { url 'http://hansel.io/maven' } } dependencies { compile fileTree(include: ['*.jar'], dir: 'libs') compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:24.2.1' compile 'com.android.support:support-v4:24.2.1' compile 'com.android.support:support-annotations:24.2.1' compile 'com.squareup.picasso:picasso:2.5.2' compile 'com.android.support:design:24.2.1' compile 'com.facebook.android:facebook-android-sdk:4.3.0' compile 'com.squareup.okhttp:okhttp:2.4.0' compile 'com.squareup.okhttp:okhttp-urlconnection:2.4.0' compile 'com.android.support:recyclerview-v7:24.2.1' compile 'com.android.support:cardview-v7:24.2.1' compile 'com.squareup.retrofit:retrofit:1.9.0' compile 'com.jakewharton:butterknife:7.0.1' compile 'com.github.clans:fab:1.6.1' compile 'com.facebook.fresco:fresco:0.8.1+' compile 'com.facebook.fresco:imagepipeline-okhttp:0.8.1+' compile 'uk.co.chrisjenx:calligraphy:2.1.0' compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-analytics:9.6.1' compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-location:9.6.1' compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-gcm:9.6.1' compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-measurement:9.6.1' compile 'com.github.liuguangqiang.swipeback:library: 1.0.2@aar ' compile 'me.imid.swipebacklayout.lib:library:1.0.0' compile 'com.github.2359media:EasyAndroidAnimations:0.8' compile 'com.theartofdev.edmodo:android-image-cropper:2.0.+' compile 'com.wang.avi:library:1.0.1' compile 'com.nineoldandroids:library:2.4.0' compile 'com.mixpanel.android:mixpanel-android:4.6.4' compile 'com.github.ppamorim:dragger:1.2' compile 'io.reactivex:rxandroid:1.1.0' compile 'io.reactivex:rxjava:1.1.3' compile 'com.jakewharton.rxbinding:rxbinding:0.2.0' // debugCompile 'com.squareup.leakcanary:leakcanary-android:1.4-beta2' // releaseCompile 'com.squareup.leakcanary:leakcanary-android-no-op:1.4-beta2' compile 'com.bignerdranch.android:expandablerecyclerview:2.1.1' compile 'com.android.support:multidex:1.0.1' compile 'com.birbit:android-priority-jobqueue:2.0.0' compile 'com.squareup:otto:1.3.8' compile 'com.mikhaellopez:circularprogressbar:1.1.1' compile 'com.github.dotloop:aosp-exif:be25ae51ec' compile('com.crashlytics.sdk.android:crashlytics: 2.5.5@aar ') { exclude group: 'com.squareup.okhttp', module: 'okhttp' transitive = true; } } apply plugin: 'com.google.gms.google-services' 

And this is the error I get:

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Edit

My google play services are also being updated.

Answer 1

Finally, I decided it myself. Here is what I did:

• Removed compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-measurement:9.6.1' , and then compiled the project
• It gives missing api_key error because GCM moved to Firebase and therefore google-services.json does not work
• To fix this, simply update the google-services.json file with a new generated file that uses cloud messages from Firebase
• After that, I compiled and got another error that @drawable/powered_by_google_dark not in the project, because I use the autocomplete API. To fix this, add compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-places:9.6.0' depending

Answer 2

Today I had the same problem. This solved the problem for me:

Open the standalone Android SDK Manager. In the "Advanced" section, "Google Play Services" was on the latest version, but there were no problems with the Google Repository after updating Google Storage from 33 to 35.

Answer 3

You do not have the latest Google Play services, just click the link, and Android Studio will offer a dialog for installing it.

Answer 4

Set all playback service dependencies to 9.6.0. 9.6.1 has not yet been released. If the problem still occurs, install the latest google play service and google repository in your android studio.

Answer 5

update all dependencies to the new version .. this solved my problem
