* What went wrong:
Plugin [id: 'org.gradle.kotlin.kotlin-dsl', version: '1.2.6'] was not found in any of the following sources:

- Gradle Core Plugins (plugin is not in 'org.gradle' namespace)

  Searched in the following repositories:

my buildSrc/build.gradle.kts

repositories {
    jcenter()

plugins {
    `kotlin-dsl`

Answer 1

Did you check that Android Studio wasn't running in Offline Mode? Take a look at Preferences/Build, Execution, Deployment/Gradle/Global Gradle settings and see if Offline Work is checked.

Answer 2

In my case, my company is using a proxy behind the network.

So it must be an SSL handshake fail issue.

To fix this issue, I use KeyStore Explorer.

Follow these steps.

1. Download KeyStore Explorer and install it on your system. (In my case Windows10 OS)

2. Run KeyStore Explorer and open the cacerts file, if you are using Android Studio on Windows 10, it's here: C:\Program Files\Android\Android Studio(or Preview)\jre\jre\lib\security with password changeit.

3. On the toolbar, go to Examine -> Examine SSL, insert these values and click OK.

   SSL Host: plugins.gradle.org
   SSL Port: 443

4. Click the Import button and OK.

5. Save the file, and go to Android Studio, run Invalidate Caches / Restart.

6. If Android Studio is reopened, try Sync Project with Gradle Files again.
