Cordova build - Could not resolve com.android.tools.build:gradle:1.5.0

Question

After upgrading the cordova and the npm of my machine (Ubuntu 15.10) I can not build a new project with the cordova. The build accuses an error in graddle.
I did some research and found some possible solutions. Solutions like changing the version and url graddle repo. Anyway, it did not work.
I am using the cordova 6.0.0 and npm 1.4.21.
Below commands of fresh cordova app installation:

soufraz@atlantis:~/Projects/apps$ cordova create test com.somename.test Test
Creating a new cordova project.
soufraz@atlantis:~/Projects/apps$ cd test/
soufraz@atlantis:~/Projects/apps/test$ cordova platform add android
Adding android project...
Creating Cordova project for the Android platform:
    Path: platforms/android
    Package: com.somename.test
    Name: Test
    Activity: MainActivity
    Android target: android-23
Android project created with cordova-android@5.1.0
Discovered plugin "cordova-plugin-whitelist" in config.xml. Installing to the project
Fetching plugin "cordova-plugin-whitelist@1" via npm
Installing "cordova-plugin-whitelist" for android

               This plugin is only applicable for versions of cordova-android greater than 4.0. If you have a previous platform version, you do *not* need this plugin since the whitelist will be built in.

soufraz@atlantis:~/Projects/apps/test$ cordova build
ANDROID_HOME=/home/soufraz/Install/android-sdk-linux
JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-8-openjdk-amd64

Extra informations:
- I have all android apis 19 - 24 installed.
- cordova build android -- --ant doesn't works too
- I've tested it with the java jdk 1.7 and 1.8
- All tries with --stacktrace/--debug/--info: pastebin.com/nD6GNkbR

check_reqs (it was asked via comments):

JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-8-openjdk-amd64
Looks like your environment fully supports cordova-android development!

java -version:

openjdk version "1.8.0_66-internal"
OpenJDK Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_66-internal-b17)
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.66-b17, mixed mode)

I need to put some extra information or configuration to clarify my question?? — Rafael Soufraz, Feb 17 '16 at 17:17

Almost the same thing. All tries: http://pastebin.com/nD6GNkbR — Rafael Soufraz, Feb 19 '16 at 13:38
Do you have the Android SDK build tools version 23 installed? Maybe you can check the version of the different components in the SDK mlanager? In my SDK manager I see SDK build tools installed in versions 23.0.1 and 23.0.2 — QuickFix, Feb 23 '16 at 14:25
and you can also try to run check_reqs (should be in the platforms/android/cordova folder of your project) — QuickFix, Feb 23 '16 at 14:42
@QuickFix I have the versions 23.0.1, 23.0.2, 23.1 installed — Rafael Soufraz, Feb 23 '16 at 15:29
Ok, so looking more closely at the message you have when building, I think there is a SSL issue when graddle tries to retrieve the android build tools. I think it's something to do with the CA of the maven repository seen as invalid in your jvm (there's an other SO issue about a user having similar issue with linux+openjdk 8). Any chance you could install sun JVM? Or you could try to add the CA to your JVM truststore... — QuickFix, Feb 23 '16 at 15:53
Could you indicate the exact version of openjdk you're using? (java -version) — QuickFix, Feb 23 '16 at 16:01
You said that you updated npm, but that isn't latest, I have 2.14.7 installed. You might need to update android tools, library support, etc. Run this `android update sdk --no-ui --filter "extra"` — jcesarmobile, Feb 24 '16 at 11:15
Any solution for this error? i m getting the same. can't resolve it — Krishna, Oct 17 '16 at 04:34

After nearly two weeks looking for a solution, I found a glorious question WITH A REAL ANSWER that solved the problem!!

Source: Peer not authenticated while importing Gradle project in eclipse

REPLICATING THE ORIGINAL ANSWER
If you get any other error like this:

 Could not GET 'https://some_server.com/some/path/some.pom'.
     > peer not authenticated

Then you need to import a certificate:

open the 'https://some_server.com/some/path/some.pom' in your favorite browser
export the cert using the Steps to export cert from a web site
copy the cer into JDK_HOME/jre/lib/security folder
open a shell and go to JDK_HOME/jre/lib/security folder
then import the cer into java using the

keytool -import -alias <the short name of the server> -file <cert_file_name_you_exported.cer> -keystore cacerts -storepass changeit

It will prompt you to import the certificate, type yes and press enter.

Then restart your eclipse and try building the project.

I had this issue with a brand new Ionic app, and updating Android SDK did not fix the issue for the Ionic CLI. This did the trick. You can also use the command `openssl s_client -connect :443 -showcerts` to extract the certs. — DfKimera, Apr 15 '17 at 18:59

Thats happens when you try to update your SKD or cordova without the other, then, the versions could be not compatibles (not in all the cases, but happens). Then, try to update manually your Android SDK version and your cordova to the lastest version.

If you are using the terminal, you can use the command: android update sdk --no-ui --filter extra

But my recomendation is update your Android SDK

I reinstalled the android sdk from scratch. Same error. – Rafael Soufraz Feb 24 '16 at 21:16
