For Dependency:

compile 'com.googlecode.mp4parser:isoparser:1.1.22'

But for dependency:

compile 'com.googlecode.mp4parser:isoparser:1.1.20'

Gradle Sync Successfully.

Tried using repository:

repositories {
    mavenCentral()
}

Just spent 1.5 hours investigating this. My root cause error was

Could not resolve all dependencies for configuration ':classpath'.
Could not resolve io.fabric.tools:gradle:1.+.
 Required by:
     project :
  > Could not resolve io.fabric.tools:gradle:1.+.
     > Failed to list versions for io.fabric.tools:gradle.
        > Unable to load Maven meta-data from https://repo1.maven.org/maven2/io/fabric/tools/gradle/maven-metadata.xml.
           > org.apache.http.ssl.SSLInitializationException: malformed input around byte 12

In the idea.log file, I found this logtrace:

2018-02-15 18:32:32,220 [entQueue-0]  ERROR - net.ssl.ConfirmingTrustManager - Cannot get system trust store 
java.security.KeyStoreException: problem accessing trust storejava.io.UTFDataFormatException: malformed input around byte 12
    at sun.security.ssl.TrustManagerFactoryImpl.engineInit(TrustManagerFactoryImpl.java:74)

    at javax.net.ssl.TrustManagerFactory.init(TrustManagerFactory.java:250)

    at com.intellij.util.net.ssl.ConfirmingTrustManager.createForStorage(ConfirmingTrustManager.java:75)

    at com.intellij.util.net.ssl.CertificateManager.<init>(CertificateManager.java:130)

As it turns out the issue was not with Gradle at all, but with Android Studio's internal JRE runtime.

I got the same malformed input around byte 12 error when running keytool against the cacerts file for the android studio JRE

> keytool.exe -list -keystore /c/Program\ Files/Android/Android\ Studio/jre/jre/lib/security/cacerts
keytool error: java.io.UTFDataFormatException: malformed input around byte 12

I replaced the cacerts file in my android studio install with the one from my machine's java install and things are back to normal. My assumption is that the file was corrupted during the update to 3.0, which seems to be the consistent thread in the people who have seen this.

Hope this helps anyone still experiencing this issue.

Just make sure your root level gradle.build file is something like this. You need repo in both project and all project:

buildscript {
    repositories {
        mavenCentral()
        jcenter()
        google()
    }
    dependencies {
        classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.0.0'
        // NOTE: Do not place your application dependencies here; they belong
        // in the individual module build.gradle files
    }
}

allprojects {
    repositories {
        mavenCentral()
        jcenter()
        google()
    }
}

task clean(type: Delete) {
    delete rootProject.buildDir
}

I was able to resolve dependency:
