You can work this one around like by adding the mavenCentral() to the repositories, then add the code to the repositories below the mavenCentral() line, and then resync:

allprojects {
    repositories {
        jcenter()
        mavenCentral()
        maven {
            url "https://maven.google.com" // Google's Maven repository
        }
    }
}

this should remove the conflict with the sync.
