Migrating to the New Places SDK Client - android-studio

Question

When I add in my gradle dependencies implementation 'com.google.android.libraries.places: places: 1.0.0'
I continue with the error: Java Compiler error: cannot access Hide
org.gradle.api.internal.tasks.compile.CompilationFailedException: Compilation failed; see the compiler error output for details.
Here is my list of dependencies:

Answer 1

Add this in your app gradle file under dependencies:
configurations {
all*.exclude group: 'com.google.guava', module: 'listenablefuture'
}
this is not my solution, I got it from other guy from SO, but can't find that question. I will add the link to that post later.
