Android Studio / Intellij, Gradle Error:Cause: peer not authenticated

Question

Having a fight with IntelliJ at the moment. The darn thing won't download Gradle 2.1

I have an Android project hosted on GitHub, which I have cloned to my laptop. I have got working SSL certificates, I know this as I can download SDK software from google using SSL, and I can also download Gradle 1.12. The message I have received from IntelliJ is the rather infamous Error:Cause: peer not authenticated error.

From the terminal running IntelliJ I get this:

    * What went wrong:
A problem occurred configuring root project 'SomeAndroidProject'.
> Could not resolve all dependencies for configuration ':classpath'.
   > Could not resolve com.android.tools.build:gradle:0.13.0.
     Required by:
         :SomeAndroidProject:unspecified
      > Could not HEAD 'https://jcenter.bintray.com/com/android/tools/build/gradle/0.13.0/gradle-0.13.0.pom'.
         > peer not authenticated

I have search far and wide across the internet, with no avail. Please help me wise SO guru's!

Solution 1

Change your repositories syntax in build.gradle as following. See following question.

repositories {
    jcenter {
        url "http://jcenter.bintray.com/"
    }
}

Solution 2

yeah I experienced exactly same situation It is not easy, but now I'm clear

I changed the build.gradle located in project forlder, not in app folder

I changed as below

repositories {
    jcenter 
    { 
        url 'http://jcenter.bintray.com' 
    } 
}

instead of

repositories {
    jacenter()
}

Solution 3

you should import the certificate:

First of all download the certificate (.cer) from this url, Help is here

Copy it to the path JDK_HOME/jre/lib/security

Then with command prompt targeted to above location, run the following command:

keytool -import -alias git -file <cert_file_name_you_exported.cer> -keystore cacerts -storepass changeit

Type yes if it prompts for approval, after that open the desired IDEA and have fun :)

If this doesn't help, try importing the certificate to JRE/lib/security/cacerts, It's totally depend on the build path of the IDEA you are using

Solution 4

I've fixed this issue by adding the following to me build.gradle:

repositories{
   maven {    
       url 'http://repo1.maven.org/maven2';
         }
 } 

Once done, try syncing and rebuilding your project. Hope this was helpful.

Your java version may be different in your desktop computer. See linked question.

After struggling for couple of hours this was the onlu solution that works. Just a note: the name of the certificate in my case was "ESETSSLFilterCA.crt" - extension crt and not cer

This should be changed in project gradle file if you updating the gradle version not in the app folder
