Gradle fails to resolve dependencies in Android Studio

Question

Whenever I add a dependency from an remote repository (jcenter) in Android Studio 1.1 (OS X) I get the following error upon syncing Gradle:

Error:(26, 13) Failed to resolve: <packagename:version> 

My app's build.gradle is as follows: apply plugin: 'com.android.application'

android { compileSdkVersion 21 buildToolsVersion "21.1.2"  defaultConfig {     applicationId "nl.timmevandermeer.cargoapp"     minSdkVersion 19     targetSdkVersion 21     versionCode 1     versionName "1.0" }     buildTypes {         release {             minifyEnabled false             proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'         }     } }  dependencies {      compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])      compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:21.0.3'      compile 'com.android.support:support-v4:21.0.3'      compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services:6.5.87'      compile 'org.json:json:20141113' } 

I have tried changing repositories (jcenter(), mavenCentral(), etc.), reinstalling Android Studio, JDK (7 and 8), changing Gradle version and Android SDK version, none of which worked. Upon running ./gradlew build I get:

Could not resolve com.android.tools.build:gradle:1.1.0. 13:48:04.914 [ERROR] [org.gradle.BuildExceptionReporter]      Required by: 13:48:04.915 [ERROR] [org.gradle.BuildExceptionReporter]          :CargoApp:unspecified 13:48:04.932 [ERROR] [org.gradle.BuildExceptionReporter] >  org.slf4j.spi.LocationAwareLogger.log(Lorg/slf4j/Marker;Ljava/lang/String;ILjava/lang/String;[Ljava/lang/Object;Ljava/lang/Throwable;)V 

This is an error I get in other cases as well, for example when trying to use Intellij Idea instead of Android Studio. Running the app without the dependency does work though.

Answer 1

A similar problem here, and when I choose Build -> Clean Project there is a "peer not authenticated" error.

solved by using "http://jcenter.bintray.com/" instead of "https://jcenter.bintray.com/"

repositories {     jcenter({url "http://jcenter.bintray.com/"}) } 

hope this work for you.
