Answer 1

I also encountered this error when updating to 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.0.0'

To fix it, I had to add the google() repo to both the buildscript and module repositories. The documentation here only mentions adding to to the buildscript.

Project-level build.gradle

buildscript {
    repositories {
        ...
        // You need to add the following repository to download the
        // new plugin.
        google()
    }

    dependencies {
        classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.0.0'
    }
}

App-level build.gradle

repositories {
    ...
    // Documentation doesn't specify this, but it must be added here
    google()
}
