Android appcompat v7:23

Question

Today, Google released SDK 6 API 23+.

I tried to create a project with the API 23, but I\'m having the following problem:

Failed to resolve: com.android.supp

Answer 1

Original answer:

I too tried to change the support library to "23". When I changed the targetSdkVersion to 23, Android Studio reported the following error:

This support library should not use a lower version (22) than the targetSdkVersion (23)

I simply changed:

compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:23.0.0'

to

compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:+'

Although this fixed my issue, you should not use dynamic versions. After a few hours the new support repository was available and it is currently 23.0.1.

Pro tip:

You can use double quotes and create a ${supportLibVersion} variable for simplicity. Example:

ext {
    supportLibVersion = '23.1.1'
}

compile "com.android.support:appcompat-v7:${supportLibVersion}"
compile "com.android.support:design:${supportLibVersion}"
compile "com.android.support:palette-v7:${supportLibVersion}"
compile "com.android.support:customtabs:${supportLibVersion}"
compile "com.android.support:gridlayout-v7:${supportLibVersion}"

Answer 2

Ran into a similar issue using React Native

> Could not find com.android.support:appcompat-v7:23.0.1.

the Support Libraries are Local Maven repository for Support Libraries

Answer 3

Latest published version of the Support Library is 24.1.1, So you can use it like this,

compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:24.1.1'
compile 'com.android.support:design:24.1.1'

Same as for other support components.

You can see the revisions here,

Answer 4

As seen in the revision column of the Android SDK Manager, the latest published version of the Support Library is 22.2.1. You'll have to wait until 23.0.0 is published.

Edit: API 23 is already published. So u can use 23.0.0

Answer 5

First you need to download the latest support repository (17 by the time I write this) from internal SDK manager of Android Studio or from the stand alone SDK manager. Then you can add compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:23.0.0' or any other support library you want to your build.gradle file. (Don't forget the last .0)
