How to fix "Error:Cannot find JAR 'ivy-2.2.0.jar' required by module 'gradle-dependency-management' using classpath or distribution directory"?

Question

I'm trying to create an Android application in Android Studio. When I try to create the project, it tells me that the Gradle refresh failed, with the error message

Error:Cannot find JAR 'ivy-2.2.0.jar' required by module 'gradle-dependency-management' using classpath or distribution directory 'C:\Gradle\gradle-2.10'

What is ivy-2.2.0.jar, and how do I fix this?

Updating the gradle version and plugin solved the issue for me by following this answer: https://stackoverflow.com/a/35272475/8383332 — Soon Santos, Jul 11 '18 at 14:28

As of 7/19/2017, I have seen that the ivy-2.2.0.jar file is included in both the binaries-only and the complete installations for Gradle.

The file is located here: gradle-4.0.1\lib\plugins\ivy-2.2.0.jar

Ironically, I received the same issue when attempting to build one of Oculus's VR sample projects. When switching to the complete installation, I no longer received this specific error.

Perhaps try switching to the complete installation, or migrating the project to use any Gradle Wrappers that might be available.

This might happen if you are using the complete distribution with sources of Gradle. Try out the binary only distribution. It should work.
