Gradle fails to resolve dependencies in Android Studio

Question

Whenever I add a dependency from an remote repository (jcenter) in Android Studio 1.1 (OS X) I get the following error upon syncing Gradle:

Error:(26, 13) Fa

Top build.gradle:

buildscript {
    repositories {
        jcenter()
    }

    dependencies {
        classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:1.1.3'
    }
}

App build.gradle:

apply plugin: 'com.android.application'

android {
    compileSdkVersion 22
    buildToolsVersion "22.0.1"

    defaultConfig {
        applicationId "nl.timmevandermeer.cargoapp"
        minSdkVersion 19
        targetSdkVersion 22
        versionCode 1
        versionName "1.0"
    }

    buildTypes {
        release {
            minifyEnabled false
            proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
        }
    }
}

dependencies {
     // compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar']) // <-- use gradle depedencies
     compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:22.0.0' // <-- brings in v4
    // compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services:7.0.0' // <-- will cause MultiDex exception, you need to choose which ones you want
    // compile 'org.json:json:20141113' // <-- android comes with org.json
}

Multi-Dex Issue:

compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services:7.0.0' is too big and should not be used directly. Please choose the modules you want here: http://developer.android.com/google/play-services/setup.html
