Android Plugin for Gradle 3.0.0 : Could not find com.google.http-client:google-http-client-parent:1.24.1

Question

I had to migrate my android project to new version of Android Studio and Android pluging for Gradle.

I followed all instructions at https://developer.android.com/stu

I had this issue with maven in an app engine project today, one of the third party libraries I am using appengine-gcs-client depends on the library google-http-client and its using version 1.24.1 which obviously had been removed as you can see from other answers.... Here is how I solved it using maven

I excluded the google-http-client from the library that depends on it i.e appengine-gcs-client using the following xml code in my pom.xml

   
        com.google.appengine.tools
        appengine-gcs-client
        0.7
                     
            
                com.google.http-client
                google-http-client
            
        
    

then I give maven the version to use when the google-http-client library is required, this version is just a back dated version from version 1.24.1 which is 1.23.0

        
            com.google.http-client
            google-http-client-jackson2
            1.23.0
        

then just run mvn clean install

this solved the problem for me and it should work for you if you have a third party library that depends on the google-http-client-parent:1.24.1 that is missing.
