Google's new Places Library ( implementation 'com.google.android.libraries.places:1.0.0') not resolving

that dependency is invalid; that should be:

dependencies {
    implementation "com.google.android.libraries.places:places:1.1.0"
}

see the migration guide.

This is not an issue from your side, but from Google's. You might have got the dependency from this link https://developers.google.com/places/android-sdk/start right? They have provided this dependency there:

dependencies {
    implementation 'com.google.android.libraries.places:1.0.0'
}

But instead you have to follow this link https://developers.google.com/places/android-sdk/client-migration, where you will get the correct dependency. which is :

dependencies {
    implementation 'com.google.android.libraries.places:places:1.0.0'
}
