        repositories {
            jcenter()

        }
    }

Add the following line to the end of your app-level build.gradle(i.e., Module: app)

    apply plugin: 'com.google.gms.google-services'

After you config Maven(if necessary) and gms google service, you have to setup Firebase for the project in Android Studio. It needs Authentication, Real-time Database,and Storage.
