Question

Since I have upgraded my Nexus 5x to Android O DP3 I am not able to test my applications. I get the error for not having configured my Gradle-file to work with the new API-l

Have you added the google maven endpoint?

Important: The support libraries are now available through Google's Maven repository. You do not need to download the support repository from the SDK Manager. For more information, see Support Library Setup.

Add the endpoint to your build.gradle file:

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

Which can be replaced by the shortcut google() since Android Gradle v3:

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

If you already have any maven url inside repositories, you can add the reference after them, i.e.:

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