Solution 1:

In my case, I have to add below code to project level gradle:

allprojects {
    repositories {
        google()
        jcenter()

    }
}

Solution 2:

The error indicates that repositories is missing in order to determine from where google-services will be downloaded.

buildscript {
    repositories {
       jcenter()
    }
    dependencies {
        classpath 'com.google.gms:google-services:3.2.1'
    }
}

jcenter is a reference to bintray jcenter. Gradle can find the google-services:3.2.1 there.

Solution 3:

In my case I was able to get it working by adding another repository scope to the top level.

repositories {
    mavenLocal()
    mavenCentral()
}

I was inspired to do so by this example.
