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'

When I try to gradle sync, it error stating below.

Failed to resolve: com.android.support:multidex:1.0.2 
Failed to resolve: com.android.support:multidex-instrumentation:1.0.2

I check on Android Studio 3.0 Canary 9 - Failed to resolve packages, it doesn't solve my problem, as I already have this

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

I'm surprise it is even asking for multidex 1.0.2, as I only have in my build.gradle

compile 'com.android.support:multidex:1.0.1'

I check using ./gradlew app:dependencies | grep multidex, it shows the failures as below (across various flavors etc)

+--- com.android.support:multidex-instrumentation:1.0.2 FAILED
+--- com.android.support:multidex:1.0.1
+--- com.android.support:multidex:1.0.2 FAILED
+--- com.android.support:multidex:1.0.1 -> 1.0.2 FAILED

Where did the dependencies of multidex:1.0.2 and multidex-instrumentation:1.0.2 comes from? How could I solve this problem?

in my project wide `build.gradle` scope within `repositories` together with other mavens — Elye, Aug 10 '17 at 08:33
Did you update support repository and all other required stuff ? — M D, Aug 10 '17 at 08:36
You're right, I put my maven in the `buildscript` `repositories`, instead of `allprojects` `repositories` . Thanks! — Elye, Aug 10 '17 at 09:19

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!

Yep! Go to root build.gralde and make sure to add google() to allProjects {} and not buildscript {}. Just had the same issue. – EGHDK Aug 10 '17 at 16:14

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.

It seems something changed from jcenter about 3 days ago and broke our automated build system with this exact error(with no code change on our end in the interim). I would guess jcenter was declaring it had the lib and then returning 404 or something. Flipping the order worked, so have an upvote :-) – entropy Jun 11 '18 at 11:33

please add the above line in your module build file. – UVM Jun 09 '18 at 14:18
but Phonegap doesn't provide any option to edit the build file ? Am right I guess ? – sqlchild Jun 09 '18 at 14:37

First you need to clean the project , and then rebuild it.

Build ----> Clean Project

Build ----> Rebuild Project

allprojects {
    repositories {
        google()
    }
}

worked for me instead of

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

if you are in China, Please use

allprojects {
    respositories {
        google()
    }
}

to instead

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

don't ask me why, I don't want to tell you.... may be 'https://maven.google.com' was selected by GFW?

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

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

If none of the above solutions are working then add mavenLocal() :

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

        mavenLocal()
        google()
    }
}

In my case I did it to load the maven from my local repository and it worked. So, I specified that if none other work then give a hit to it as well. – jeet.chanchawat Jan 13 '18 at 07:41

In my cases, I have no need to requires multidex but I have added due to other dependencies requires[brightcove player]

So I have added below lines in gradle.properties and error was gone.

android.enableJetifier=true
