Cannot find version of 'androidx.arch', 'androidx.room', etc

Question

I am experiencing the following issue when trying to build an android application. I have come across some android post on forcing or using a manual dependency resolution strategy. This does not seem to solve the problem.

A similar issue has been asked : Similar stack overflow question.

An issue was also opened : Issue Tracker on a similar issue.

* What went wrong:
Execution failed for task ':app:lintVitalSunmiRelease'.

Has anybody been able to resolve this issue?

Answer 1

The solution that worked for me was to use a dependency resolution strategy:

So for each item that has been highlighted that the project requires, I have added to my dependency resolution:

configurations.all
            {
                resolutionStrategy.eachDependency { details ->
                    if (details.requested.group == 'androidx.room'
                            && !details.requested.name.contains('room-runtime')) {
                        details.useVersion "2.1.0-alpha04"
                    }
                    if (details.requested.group == 'androidx.room'
                            && !details.requested.name.contains('room-testing')) {
                        details.useVersion "2.1.0-alpha04"
                    }
                    if (details.requested.group == 'androidx.room'
                            && !details.requested.name.contains('room-rxjava2')) {
                        details.useVersion "2.1.0-alpha04"
                    }
                    if (details.requested.group == 'androidx.room'
                            && !details.requested.name.contains('room-common')) {
                        details.useVersion "2.1.0-alpha04"
                    }
                    if (details.requested.group == 'androidx.room'
                            && !details.requested.name.contains('room-migration')) {
                        details.useVersion "2.1.0-alpha04"
                    }
                    if (details.requested.group == 'androidx.room'
                            && !details.requested.name.contains('room-compiler')) {
                        details.useVersion "2.1.0-alpha04"
                    }
                }
            } 

Here I have stated that they should use version 2.1.0-alpha04 as it seems that version 2.1.0-alpha06 has issues from firsthand experiences as well as stated in another post: Room persistence library (dependency issue), MVVM design pattern and Note: Failed to read get kotlin metadata for ...etc, and type converter

Try to update to the latest version of "com.google.gms:google-services" (it helped me).
