What is the issue here! Please help me out!

Solution 1

I have the same problem, it seems like Google repo is missing this dependency. I checked the repository and gms folder does not contain any published versions.

So as a quick fix I added another repository, that has it:

repositories {
    maven { url 'https://dl.bintray.com/android/android-tools' }
}

EDIT: Since this is only a temporary solution and I consider it as a workaround so I am able to continue developing. I will remove this depencency later when Google repository will contain the depency or we know where they moved it.

Solution 2

Try adding another maven repository to your project gradle file. For example:

allprojects {
    repositories {
        google()
        jcenter()
        maven { url "https://jitpack.io" }
    }
}

If that doesn't work, adding the OneSignal gradle plugin, also to the project's gradle, might do the trick (as suggested in this answer).

apply plugin: 'com.onesignal.androidsdk.onesignal-gradle-plugin'

works - for me it's also not finding com.google.firebase:firebase-plugins:1.1.5 anymore, had to add this repo: maven { url 'dl.bintray.com/firebase/gradle' } ¯_(ツ)_/¯

I'm trying to use a library which tries to find com.android.tools.build:gradle:2.2.3 and I'm getting the same could not find message. I believe it's the same problem. Does anyone know a repository from where I could get it?

[David Sucharda]

@tibuurcio Seems like could use the same one since it contains the library: dl.bintray.com/android/android-tools/com/android/tools/build‌​/…

[Damiii]

@DavidSucharda is it secure ?! Do google use that ?

[Deepak Negi]

After the above change I am getting 'Plugin with id 'com.google.gms.google-services' not found'

[Peter Haddad]

This com.android.tools.build:gradle:2.2.3 is inside google maven repo google() @tibuurcio actually its not, its a very old version anyway..

[David Sucharda]

@Damiii This is a workaround since Google's own repo for some reason does not have the required dependencies. I suggest removing it after google adds it back or we will know where they moved it.

[tibuurcio]

@DavidSucharda Thank you for the quick response :) It's not working but I'm sure it's something on my end. Will wait to see if the problem resolves itself.

[David Sucharda]

@tibuurcio seems like it is related to the library you are using and as Peter Haddad mentions it is quite old. Maybe there may be an update for the library which uses newer version?

[Damiii]

It is fixed now, everybody can remove the temporary solution :)
