[android] Failed to resolve: com.google.firebase:firebase-core:9.0.0

Update Aug 2017

As of version 11.2.0 Firebase and Google Play services dependencies are available via Google's Maven Repo. You no longer need to use the Android SDK manager to import these dependencies.

In your root build.gradle file add the repo:

allprojects {
  repositories {
    // ...
    maven { url "https://maven.google.com" }
  }
}

If you are using gradle 4.0 or higher you can replace maven { url "https://maven.google.com" } with just google().


The 9.0.0 version of Firebase was built using Google Play services 9.0 and is now available under the new packaging com.google.firebase:*

See Release Notes for Google Play services 9.0 https://developers.google.com/android/guides/releases#may_2016_-_v90

New versions of packages Google Play Services (rev 30) and Google Repository (rev 26) were just released in the SDK manager so it's likely you just need to update.
