After update Android Studio to latest version (3.1) and gradle version in my project I get an error (the link is always different):

Android Studio version:

Android Studio 3.1
Build #AI-173.4670197, built on March 22, 2018
JRE: 1.8.0_152-release-1024-b02 amd64
JVM: OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM by JetBrains s.r.o
Windows 10 10.0

I already tried clean rebuild and update gradle, restart Android Studio and PC, but without success. Any ideas?

PS: of course I have internet. Also, if you open a link in the browser - the file is downloaded.

Answer 1

jcenter is having issues at the moment, please check http://status.bintray.com/

EDIT: it looks like the link above was sunset, new link at: https://status.gradle.com/

Answer 2

After updating the Android Studio to 3.1.0 ,

I just had the same problem, i resolved it using

 maven {   url "https://maven.google.com"  }

to the TopMost buildScript like this in project-level gradle :-

 buildscript {
    repositories {
      .....
      ...
     maven {   url "https://maven.google.com"   }

For reference take a sample of the project-level gradle:-

buildscript {

  repositories {
      google()
      jcenter()
      maven { url 'https://maven.fabric.io/public' }
      maven { url 'https://jitpack.io' }
      mavenCentral()
      maven { url 'https://maven.fabric.io/public' }
      maven {  url "https://maven.google.com"  }
  }
 dependencies {
     classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.1.0'
     classpath 'io.fabric.tools:gradle:1.24.4'
   }
}

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

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

Note :- One more thing:-

In gradle-wrapper.properties use this :-

  distributionUrl=https\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-4.4-all.zip

Instead of 4.1-all.zip .

Edit :- If you want to resolve the issue fast , you can also try adding these - according to Omar's answer :-

 maven { url "http://dl.bintray.com/riteshakya037/maven" }

along with

  maven { url "https://maven.google.com" }

Answer 3

Thanks to everyone for the quick answers!

It seems like temporary network issues on the "jcenter.bintray.com" website. I just clicked "Try Again" many times and in the end everything was updated.

Also, if you open the links in the browser - from time to time you will receive a "Service Error" message. So the problem is not on your side.
