Gradle sync failed: Could not determine artifacts for com.edwardvanraak:MaterialBarcodeScanner:0.0.6-ALPHA: Skipped due to earlier error

Question

After upgrading from Android Studio 3.1 to 3.2, the sync failed with a message related to the com.edwardvanraak:MaterialBarcodeScanner dependency.

implementation 'com.edwardvanraak:MaterialBarcodeScanner:0.0.6-ALPHA'

The build.gradle is:

buildscript {
    repositories {
        // jcenter()
        maven { url "http://jcenter.bintray.com" }
        google()
    }
    dependencies {
        classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.2.0'

        // für Butter Knife
        classpath 'com.neenbedankt.gradle.plugins:android-apt:1.8'

        // NOTE: Do not place your application dependencies here; they belong
        // in the individual module build.gradle files
    }
}

allprojects {
    repositories {
        maven {
            url "http://jcenter.bintray.com"
        }
        maven {
            url "https://maven.google.com"
        }
    }
}

The stracktrace is:

What I tried so far:

• clean the project
• rebuild the project

The error disappears if I revert to Gradle 3.1.4 (using classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.1.4') and Gradle 4.4 instead of 4.6 (using distributionUrl=https://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-4.4-all.zip)

Answer 1

Solved:

1. revert to Gradle build tools 3.1.4 (using classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.1.4') and gradle-4.4-all.zip instead of 4.6 (using distributionUrl=https://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-4.4-all.zip)

2. rebuild

3. upgrade again to Gradle build tools 3.2.0 / Gradle 4.6

Answer 2

For me just the invalidate caches and restart option worked.
