Difference between clean, gradlew clean
-
./gradlew clean
Uses your project's gradle wrapper to execute your project's
clean
task. Usually, this just means the deletion of the build directory. -
./gradlew clean assembleDebug
Again, uses your project's gradle wrapper to execute the
clean
andassembleDebug
tasks, respectively. So, it will clean first, then executeassembleDebug
, after any non-up-to-date dependent tasks. -
./gradlew clean :assembleDebug
Is essentially the same as #2. The colon represents the task path. Task paths are essential in gradle multi-project's, not so much in this context. It means run the root project's assembleDebug task. Here, the root project is the only project.

Android Studio --> Build --> Clean
Is essentially the same as
./gradlew clean
. See here.
For more info, I suggest taking the time to read through the Android docs, especially this one.
You should use this one too:
./gradlew :app:dependencies
(Mac and Linux) -With ./
gradlew :app:dependencies
(Windows) -Without ./
The libs you are using internally using any other versions of google play service.If yes then remove or update those libs.
You can also use
./gradlew clean build
(Mac and Linux) -With ./
gradlew clean build
(Windows) -Without ./
it removes build folder, as well configure your modules and then build your project.
i use it before release any new app on playstore.
