Answer 1

Try without this implementation "com.google.android.gms:play-services:15.0.1"
but concrete libraries like
implementation "com.google.android.gms:play-services-gcm:15.0.1"

Answer 2

I just found the issue it was due to the sequence of jcenter() library project build.gradle
Issue because of this sequence
allprojects {
repositories {
jcenter()
google()
maven {
url "https://maven.google.com"
}
maven {
url "https://jitpack.io"
}
}}
Solution sequence below
allprojects {
repositories {
maven {
url "https://maven.google.com"
}
maven {
url "https://jitpack.io"
}
jcenter()
google()
}}
