Our project has two plugins which request incompatible versions of the google-api-client library, which is transitively required by basically all Google Cloud SDK libraries.

The gradle-play-publisher plugin requires com.google.api-client:google-api-client:2.2.0, and gradle-test-lab-plugin requires com.google.api-client:google-api-client:1.30.9. When running a test using a Test Lab managed device, the build fails with the following:

Exception java.lang.IllegalStateException: You are currently running with version 2.2.0 of google-api-client. You need at least version 1.15 of google-api-client to run version 1.22.0 of the Cloud Testing API library.

Ideally both plugins would shade their dependencies, for example by using the Shadow plugin. This is needed because Gradle does not isolate classpaths between plugins.

I've also filed an issue with the Play Publisher plugin.
