(not a duplicate of this question in my opinion)
Error message in Android Studio:
Gradle sync failed: Could not find org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-stdlib:1.1.3-2
I do not understand why Gradle will not sync without this library, and why Kotlin is mandatory. Also, I have not tried or intended to install or use the Kotlin plugin.
Note: This occurred just after I have upgraded to the latest Android Canary version just now on the dev update channel. There was no issue or anything Kotlin related in the stable version or in my code itself.
