UnknownPluginException using Google Play Services and Plugins DSL

Question

I'm creating a new application in Android Studio Bumblebee and this defaults to using the new Groovy DSL plugin management in settings.gradle.

I need to be able to use Google Play Services to enable Firebase functionality, however I am running into a build error when applying the com.google.gms.google-play-services plugin using the documentation here: Google Play Services Readme

I have added the following to my settings.gradle file:

pluginManagement {
    repositories {
        gradlePluginPortal()
        google()
    }
    plugins {
        id 'com.android.application' version '7.1.0-alpha13'
        id 'com.android.library' version '7.1.0-alpha13'
        id 'org.jetbrains.kotlin.android' version '1.5.31'
        id 'com.google.gms.google-services' version '4.3.10'
    }
}

and the following to my app's build.gradle file:

plugins {
    id 'com.android.application'
    id 'org.jetbrains.kotlin.android'
    id 'com.google.gms.google-services'
}

however when I build the application, I get the following UnknownPluginException:

Plugin [id: 'com.google.gms.google-services', version: '4.3.10'] was not found in any of the following sources:

* Try:
Run with --info or --debug option to get more log output. Run with --scan to get full insights.

* Exception is:
org.gradle.api.plugins.UnknownPluginException: Plugin [id: 'com.google.gms.google-services', version: '4.3.10'] was not found in any of the following sources:

- Gradle Core Plugins (plugin is not in 'org.gradle' namespace)
- Plugin Repositories (could not resolve plugin artifact 'com.google.gms.google-services:com.google.gms.google-services.gradle.plugin:4.3.10')
  Searched in the following repositories:
    Gradle Central Plugin Repository
    Google

I have also tried the legacy method of classpath etc. but this results in a much longer error message regarding dependency resolution.

I'm not sure what I am doing wrong.

By using Android Studio Bumblebee new Groovy DSL plugin management Add below line in build.gradle(Project:) plugins{} section and sync project will solve your problem.

id 'com.google.gms.google-services' version '4.3.10' apply false

your build.gradle(Project:) looks like

plugins {
    id 'com.android.application' version '7.1.1' apply false
    id 'com.android.library' version '7.1.1' apply false
    id 'org.jetbrains.kotlin.android' version '1.6.10' apply false
    id 'com.google.dagger.hilt.android' version '2.41' apply false
    id 'com.google.gms.google-services' version '4.3.10' apply false
    id 'com.google.firebase.crashlytics' version '2.8.1' apply false
}

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

your build.gradle(Module:) looks like

plugins {
    id 'com.android.application'
    id 'org.jetbrains.kotlin.android'
    id 'org.jetbrains.kotlin.kapt'
    id 'com.google.dagger.hilt.android'
    id 'com.google.gms.google-services'
    id 'com.google.firebase.crashlytics'
}

android {
    compileSdk 32

    signingConfigs {
        config {
            enableV3Signing true
            enableV4Signing true
        }
    }
}

your settings.gradle(Project Settings) looks like

pluginManagement {
    repositories {
        gradlePluginPortal()
        google()
        mavenCentral()
    }
}
dependencyResolutionManagement {
    repositoriesMode.set(RepositoriesMode.FAIL_ON_PROJECT_REPOS)
    repositories {
        google()
        mavenCentral()
    }
}
rootProject.name = "MyApp"
include ':app'
