Play! 2 framework deployment version error on heroku

Question

I have written a basic website as an example on play! 2 framework. I followed the instructions for deployment namely creating login, keys, git repository etc. When i issue the command

 git push heroku master

I get following error:

 git push heroku master

Why is it detecting an old play version when i am working on play 2. Here is my plugins.sbt --

/ Comment to get more information during initialization
logLevel := Level.Warn

// The Typesafe repository
resolvers += "Typesafe repository" at "http://repo.typesafe.com/typesafe/releases/"

//Use the Play sbt plugin for Play projects
addSbtPlugin("com.typesafe.play" % "sbt-plugin" % "2.2.1")

Can you include your build.sbt? Also, this might be helpful - stackoverflow.com/questions/12369967/… — Ilya I
And Play 2.x does not use dependencies.yml. Maybe you're using some stuff from 1.x version? — Ilya I

If you are using Play Framework 2.x then remove the conf/dependencies.yml file, commit, and re-push. If you are using Play 1.x then follow the instructions for Play 1.x at: https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/play-support
