Gradle could not find dependency com.google.android.gms:play-services

Question

I have a problem since I upgraded my Android Studio to 3.0.0 : I cannot find com.google.android.gms:play-services anymore!

After adding this dependency, when I try to sync my project I get this message :

Failed to resolve: com.google.android.gms:play-services-games:11.4.2

I can click on "Install repository and sync project" but when I do, I get this message :

Could not find dependency "com.google.android.gms:play-services-games:11.4.2"

I tried to search, but the only solutions I found was to install Google repository, and add jcenter() to the repositories in my build.gradle file But I already did that!

Any idea?

Here is my build.gradle file :

buildscript {


    repositories {
        mavenLocal()
        mavenCentral()
        maven { url "https://oss.sonatype.org/content/repositories/snapshots/" }
        jcenter()
    }
    dependencies {
        classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.0.0'
        classpath 'com.mobidevelop.robovm:robovm-gradle-plugin:2.3.1'


    }
}

allprojects {
    apply plugin: "eclipse"
    apply plugin: "idea"

    version = '1.0'
    ext {
        appName = "Glowee"
        gdxVersion = '1.9.7'
        roboVMVersion = '2.3.1'
        box2DLightsVersion = '1.4'
        ashleyVersion = '1.7.0'
        aiVersion = '1.8.0'
    }

    repositories {
        mavenLocal()
        mavenCentral()
        maven { url "https://oss.sonatype.org/content/repositories/snapshots/" }
        maven { url "https://oss.sonatype.org/content/repositories/releases/" }
