Gradle 'nfctasker-master' project refresh failed Error:No subject alternative DNS name matching services.gradle.org found. 

Build.gradle

buildscript {     repositories {         jcenter()     }     dependencies {         classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:1.0.0'     } } apply plugin: 'com.android.application'  repositories {     jcenter() }  android {     compileSdkVersion 20     buildToolsVersion "21.1.2"      defaultConfig {         applicationId "net.ruinnel.nfc.tasker"         minSdkVersion 14         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:support-v4:21.+'     compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:21.+' }

As a temporary workaround you may download Gradle over http instead of https.

Edit gradle/wrapper/gradle-wrapper.properties, that should be available at the root of your project, and change distributionUrl to:

distributionUrl=http\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-2.2.1-all.zip
