Question

I update the gradle plugin to the latest, and i'm getting this error:

Error:Could not find com.android.tools.build.gradle:3.0.0-alpha7:. Searched in the following locations:     file:/C:/Users/dmin/Documents/android-studio/gradle/m2repository/com/android/tools/build/gradle/3.0.0-alpha7//3.0.0-alpha7-.pom     file:/C:/Users/dmin/Documents/android-studio/gradle/m2repository/com/android/tools/build/gradle/3.0.0-alpha7//3.0.0-alpha7-.jar     https://jcenter.bintray.com/com/android/tools/build/gradle/3.0.0-alpha7//3.0.0-alpha7-.pom     https://jcenter.bintray.com/com/android/tools/build/gradle/3.0.0-alpha7//3.0.0-alpha7-.jar     https://maven.google.com/com/android/tools/build/gradle/3.0.0-alpha7//3.0.0-alpha7-.pom     https://maven.google.com/com/android/tools/build/gradle/3.0.0-alpha7//3.0.0-alpha7-.jar

buildscript {     repositories {         jcenter()         google()     }     dependencies {         classpath 'com.android.tools.build.gradle:3.0.0-alpha7'         classpath 'com.google.gms:google-services:3.1.0'     } }  allprojects {     repositories {         jcenter()     } } 

Answer 1

Follow the steps in the 3.0.0 plugin migration guide

Update gradle version

The new Android plugin requires Gradle version 4.1-milestone-1 or higher. If you're opening an existing project using Android Studio 3.0 Preview 5 or later, follow the prompts to automatically update an existing project to the compatible version of Gradle.

To update Gradle manually, update the URL in gradle-wrapper.properties as follows:

distributionUrl=https\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-4.1-milestone-1-all.zip 

and

Apply the plugin

If you're opening an existing project using Android Studio 3.0 Preview 5 or later, follow the prompts to automatically update your project to the latest version of the Android plugin. To manually update your project, include the maven repo and change the plugin version in your project-level build.gradle file as follows:

buildscript {   repositories {     ...     // You need to add the following repository to download the     // new plugin.     jcenter()     google()   }    dependencies {      classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.2.1'  //Minimum supported Gradle version is 4.6   }  } 

Answer 2

You try :

buildscript {     repositories {         ...         // You need to add the following repository to download the         // new plugin.         google()     }      dependencies {         classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.0.1'     } }
