Kotlin Error : Could not find org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-stdlib-jre7:1.0.7

Question

I installed the Kotlin plugin into my app (v. v1.1.1-release-Studio2.2-1) and then selected "Configure Kotlin in Project" I selected compiler and runtime version

Answer 1

This is what worked for me: Using Gradle 4.8.1

buildscript {
    ext.kotlin_version = '1.1.1' 
repositories {
    jcenter()
    google()
}
dependencies {
    classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.1.0'}
}
allprojects {
    repositories {
        mavenLocal()
        jcenter()
        google()
        maven {
            url "$rootDir/../node_modules/react-native/android"
        }
    maven {
            url 'https://dl.bintray.com/kotlin/kotlin-dev/'
    }
  }
}
