+- Option 1: Use Project-Wide Gradle Config:
+
+You can define *[project-wide properties](https://developer.android.com/studio/build/gradle-tips.html)* (**recommended**) in your root `/android/build.gradle`, and let the library auto-detect the presence of the following properties:
+
+```groovy
+    buildscript {...}
+    allprojects {...}
+
+    /**
+     + Project-wide Gradle configuration properties (replace versions as appropriate)
+     */
+    ext {
+      compileSdkVersion   = 25
+      targetSdkVersion    = 25
+      buildToolsVersion   = "25.0.2"
+      supportLibVersion   = "25.0.2"
+      googlePlayServicesVersion = "11.6.2"
+      androidMapsUtilsVersion = "0.5+"
+    }
+```
+
+- Option 2: Use Specific Gradle Config:
+
+If you do **not** have *project-wide properties* defined or want to use a different Google Play-Services version than the one included in this library (shown above), use the following instead (switch 11.6.2 for the desired version):
+
+```groovy
+  ...
+  dependencies {
+      ...
+      compile(project(':react-native-google-places')){
+          exclude group: 'com.google.android.gms', module: 'play-services-base'
