Android Studio 3.0 Beta 1: Failed to resolve: com.android.support:multidex:1.0.2

Question

After migrating from Android Studio 3.0 (Canary 5) to Android Studio 3.0 (Beta 1), and moving to latest gradle , i.e. \'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.0.0-beta1\'

Answer 1

Adding google() in my allprojects solved my issue...

allprojects {
    repositories {
        jcenter()
        google()
    }
}

Answer 2

my problem was network connection. I needed to connect to a vpn server to connect to jcenter

Answer 3

For me, the solution is move the google() item up to make sure it's before the jcenter(). And actually, I will put the google() in the first place of all the repositories.

Answer 4

Need to add the following as well:

compile 'com.android.support:multidex:1.0.3'

After adding the above line, it worked for me in addition to the above answer

Answer 5

Apparently my issue is I should post this:

maven {
    url 'https://maven.google.com'
}

in allprojects and not in buildscript (the subtle different has blinded me where the issue is), which then looks like this:

allprojects {
    repositories {
        maven {
            url 'https://maven.google.com'
        }
    }
}

Thanks to M D for the pointers!
