How to resolve this on Android Studio 3.0 Canary 1:Failed to resolve: com.google.android:android:2.3.1

Question

When I update my Android Studio IDE, some problems stop me. I really appreciate it for your help. Like this:

Error:Failed to resolve: com.google.android:android:2.3.1

Install Repository and sync project
Open File
Show in Project Structure dialog

That's the information:

FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

* What went wrong:
Execution failed for task ':Lightning:preEnv_42DebugBuild'.
> Could not resolve all dependencies for configuration ':Lightning:env_42DebugCompileClasspath'.
   > Could not find com.google.android:android:2.3.1.

Apparently the problem is with Anko, there's no compatibility yet with new Android Studio version. As suggested by m43bloe (refer to GitHub Anko issue) you can solve doing this:

compile("org.jetbrains.anko:anko:0.10.0") {
    exclude group: 'com.google.android', module: 'android'
}

At moment of write, everything is working fine. Hope that helps!
