It seems that Google is moving away from updating the Support Repository and Play Services with the SDK manager. Support library 26.x.x is only available on maven.google.com.
Now it seems that Play Services followed this step with version 11.2.0.

So I guess we need some support for the online maven repository quite soon.

Some info here: https://developer.android.com/studio/build/dependencies.html#google-maven

It is implemented for the next version.
Sounds great! :)

The most recent versions of the following Android libraries are available from Google's Maven repository
[...]

  • firebase-firestore

    • 11.4.2

    • 11.6.0

    • 11.6.2

So i can asume B4A will be able to get/fetch the newest Firebase Firestore artifacts and they can be refered using @DependsOn or #additionaljar?

If so then a wrapper-Library for the new Firebase Firestore Database is already in the pipeline :)

Yes. It will be downloaded with the SDK tool. All Firebase resources will be downloaded by default. This includes Firebase Firestore.
