After the recent update to Android Studio 3.0 Canary 1, I got the following error:

> Could not resolve all dependencies for configuration ':classpath'.
   > Could not find com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.0.0-alpha1.
     Searched in the following locations:
         https://jcenter.bintray.com/com/android/tools/build/gradle/3.0.0-alpha1/gradle-3.0.0-alpha1.pom

         project :

Here is what I had to add (to the project-level build.gradle):

buildscript {
    repositories {
        maven {
            url 'https://maven.google.com'
        }
        ....            
    }
