I sent this issue to the firebase help team and got the following response:

This is actually a known issue on our end and our engineers are already working to fix the issue. I can't share any details or timeline when the fix be available, but please check our release notes for future updates.

Looks like there is a problem with Gradle tools version 3.0.1. The temporary workaround would be to use Gradle tools version 2.3.3.

In the project level build.gradle file:

Replace classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.0.1' with

classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:2.3.3'

and

Relpace google() with

maven {
        url 'https://maven.google.com'
}
