If someone could help with the issue, ill be grateful to u.

Start with the app module's build.gradle and the root build.gradle, focusing on the Mapbox SDK and Places plugin versions and repositories. Reproduce the failure and capture the missing RuntimeException stack trace; the issue is done when the Places plugin no longer throws that exception with the reported dependencies.
