I'm trying to connect my Android Studio project to Firebase, but I get an error with the build.gradle. Not sure how to fix it.
Simply remove the buildscript{} block and add it on top of plugins{} block, Like this:
// Top-level build file where you can add configuration options common to all sub-projects/modules.
buildscript {
    repositories {
        google()  // Google's Maven repository
        mavenCentral()  // Maven Central repository
    dependencies {// Add the dependency for the Google services Gradle plugin
        classpath 'com.google.gms:google-services:4.3.15'
plugins {
    id 'com.android.application' version '8.0.2' apply false
    id 'com.android.library' version '8.0.2' apply false
allprojects {
    repositories {// Make sure that you have the following two repositories
        google()  // Google's Maven repository
        mavenCentral()  // Maven Central repository
Always remember that buildscript{} block should be on top of plugins{} block.
