Could not find method compile() for arguments [com.google.gms:google-services:4.0.0]

Issue

My project was working. But when I tried to open the project, android studio gave error:

Could not find method compile() for arguments [com.google.gms:google-services:4.2.0] on object of type org.gradle.api.internal.artifacts.dsl.dependencies.DefaultDependencyHandler.

Project gradle file are like below:

buildscript {
ext.kotlin_version = '1.2.61'
repositories {
    google()
    jcenter()
}
dependencies {


    classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.1.4'
    classpath "org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-gradle-plugin:$kotlin_version"

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

    compile 'com.google.gms:google-services:4.2.0'

    }
    }

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

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

App gradle file are like below:

Solution

Add maven { url 'https://dl.bintray.com/android/android-tools' } in your project's build.gradle like this:

buildscript {
   repositories {
      maven { url 'https://dl.bintray.com/android/android-tools' }
      ...
   }
}
