What does mean com.google.android.gms:play-services-analytics-impl:[17.0.0] as no versions available

Question

I have offline maven repo with my organization. I am trying to use com.google.android.gms:play-services-analytics:17.0.0. I take this repo from maven and uploaded it into the our local repo.

I am not able to download the submodule. I have added an implementation in my android project build.gradle file.

dependencies {
    implementation fileTree(include: ['*.jar'], dir: 'libs')
    implementation 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-analytics:17.0.0'
    implementation 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:28.0.0'
}

I am getting an error as below.

Could not find any matches for com.google.android.gms:play-services-analytics-impl:[17.0.0] as no versions of com.google.android.gms:play-services-analytics-impl are available.

I have checked com.google.android.gms:play-services-analytics-impl with version 17.0.0 is available in my local repo.

Now, here the question is what is the meaning of the square bracket which I am getting in error with version.?

Is that something I missed here to upload?

It seems that play-services-analytics depends on play-services-analytics-impl to work. If you want to work with your offline repository, you should as well add dependencies of play-services-analytics to your own repository. Check the pom.xml file of play-services-analytics to see what dependencies are required.
