Could not find com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.5

Question

I'm trying to update gradle from 1.3.1 to 3.5, as some of my dependencies requires version 3.3 or above.

I've seen similar questions, but none of them help.

build.gradle:

buildscript {     repositories {         jcenter()     }     dependencies {         classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.5'     } } 

gradle-wrapper.properties:

distributionBase=GRADLE_USER_HOME distributionPath=wrapper/dists zipStoreBase=GRADLE_USER_HOME zipStorePath=wrapper/dists distributionUrl=https\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-3.5-all.zip 

Still i'm getting this when trying to do anything (build, clean etc):

Building and installing the app on the device (cd android && ./gradlew installDebug...

To fix this issue check do you have google() repo in your project's level build.gradle file.

buildscript {     repositories {         jcenter()         google() //HAVE YOU MISS IT?     }     dependencies {         classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.5.0'     } }  allprojects {     repositories {         jcenter()         google() //HAVE YOU MISS IT?     } }
