How to solve Gradle sync failed error (DefaultMavenFactory)?

Question

I am trying to build project, but I get an error:

Gradle sync failed: Cause: org/gradle/api/publication/maven/internal/DefaultMavenFactory
Consult IDE log for more details (Help | Show Log)

I am using com.github.dcendents:android-maven-plugin:1.2 and Gradle 2.2.1 in project settings.

Here is full log. How to resolve it?

Answer 1

I was also facing same issue few days back. I solved it by updating maven plugin version and gradle-maven-plugin version. I updated plugin from

apply plugin: 'android-maven'

to

apply plugin: 'com.github.dcendents.android-maven'

and gradle version from

classpath 'com.github.dcendents:android-maven-plugin:1.2'

to

classpath 'com.github.dcendents:android-maven-gradle-plugin:1.3'

Hope it solves your issue also
