Can't update to com.google.gms:google-services:4.2.0

I resolved the ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException by adding the following after applying the google-services plugin at the end of my build script:

apply plugin: 'com.google.gms.google-services'
com.google.gms.googleservices.GoogleServicesPlugin.config.disableVersionCheck = true

This disables the version check which is buggy in google-services 4.2.0


@NickUnuchek leave the dependencies block out of the gradle file of your root project, then it will work

In result top level gradle:

// Top-level build file where you can add configuration options common to all sub-projects/modules.

apply plugin: 'kotlin'

buildscript {
    ext.kotlin_version = '1.3.20'
