Flutter project build fails after adding firestore dependency - flutter

Question

Build fails after adding firestore dependency with the error below:
This is only happening after adding the firestore dependency, when I remove it the app builds just fine.
FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.
What went wrong:
A problem occurred configuring root project 'android'.
Could not resolve all artifacts for configuration ':classpath'.

You can try using this build.gradle it has been working perfectly for me :
buildscript {
repositories {
google()
jcenter()
}
dependencies {
classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.5.0'
classpath 'com.google.gms:google-services:4.2.0'
}
}
allprojects {
repositories {
google()
jcenter()
}
}
rootProject.buildDir = '../build'
subprojects {
project.buildDir = "${rootProject.buildDir}/${project.name}"
}
subprojects {
project.evaluationDependsOn(':app')
}
task clean(type: Delete) {
delete rootProject.buildDir
}
