Force Gradle to use HTTP instead of HTTPS

Question

I am trying to build react-native android app, as a dependecy I see I have gradle, but it fails to load on build. Error message:

Answer 1

Go into the gradle/wrapper folder nearby and edit the gradle-wrapper.properties

Then add in a the https to the distribution URL and it should work.

distributionUrl=https\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-1.10-bin.zip
                    ^

Verify the file you are trying to grab is actually on the repo:

https://services.gradle.org/distributions/

Rerun your command to get the gradle wrapper version.

gradle wrapper
gradlew.bat wrapper -gradle-version="1.10"

Hope that helps.
