ERROR: Unable to resolve dependency in android studio 3.4

Question

I was using android studio 3.3 and everything worked fine. But today after updating to 3.4 I get these errors. It seems trouble originates with androidX dependencies. It also happens in my two different projects which depends on androidX.

I have tried the following:

1.Clean and rebuild my project

2.Invalidate the cache and restart.

How can I solve it

Answer 1

I solved my problem by reverting distributionUrl in gradle-wrapper.properties

from

distributionUrl=https\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-5.1.1-all.zip

back to

distributionUrl=https\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-4.10.1-all.zip

And also reverting gradle dependency in build.gradle from

classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.4.0'

back to

classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.3.2'

And now my project is fine.
