Answer 1

This is as a result of Gradle trying to use some network resources but since you have offline mode enabled, it uses only the artifacts that it has cached locally. In AS Canary 9, with your computer connected to the internet, try disabling the Gradle offline mode using the button shown below, after which you can clean and rebuild the project.
