Could not find com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.0.1

Question

When I try to build my project with gradle wrapper I get this error:

./gradlew

FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

* What went wrong:
A problem occurred c         


        

Answer 1

just wanted to leave an extra tip. When I installed Android Studio, I read somewhere that it was recommended to leave this configuration (with the '+' symbol)

build.gradle (project)

dependencies {
        classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:+'
        .....
        #more lines here
}

However, the project I am using uses an old version of gradle, and this line always requested the latest version. Took me a while to figure it out.
