After migrating from Android Studio 3.0 (Canary 5) to Android Studio 3.0 (Beta 1), and moving to latest gradle , i.e. \'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.0.0-beta1\'
Apparently my issue is I should post this:
maven {
url 'https://maven.google.com'
}
in allprojects
and not in buildscript
(the subtle different has blinded me where the issue is), which then looks like this:
allprojects {
repositories {
maven {
url 'https://maven.google.com'
}
}
}
Thanks to M D for the pointers!
