Build errors after Android Studio 3.2.1 upgrade

Question

I am building a sample project from Udacity. This was working fine till now, but after upgrading to Android Studio 3.2.1, I am facing the build error below.

Gradle v

Answer 1

The project gradle version is pretty old:

classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:2.2.3'

And you are using Android Studio v3.2.1 so, update the gradle:

classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.2.0' // or 3.2.1 maybe

Also, as you can see, it was looking for some packages in :

file:/C:/Users/sandeepk2/AppData/Local/Android/Sdk/extras/m2repository/com/android/tools/build/aapt2/3.2.1-4818971/aapt2-3.2.1-4818971.pom

Which means you probably forgot to add google() as the top level repository. Just add google()

to your repositories in your root build.gradle.
