"Could not find com.android.tools.build:gradle:7.2.0." with Chipmunk

Question

I have just updated Android Studio to Chipmunk and gradle file sync no longer works. The sync has the following errors:

Could not find com.android.tools.build:gradle:7.2.0.
Searched in the following locations:
  - https://dl.google.com/dl/android/maven2/com/android/tools/build/gradle/7.2.0/gradle-7.2.0.pom
  - https://repo.maven.apache.org/maven2/com/android/tools/build/gradle/7.2.0/gradle-7.2.0.pom
Required by:
    project :
Add google Maven repository and sync project
Open File

I clicked "Add google Maven repository and sync project" but nothing happened. I have the following in build.gradle:

buildscript {
    ext.kotlin_version = '1.3.72'
    repositories {
        google()
        mavenCentral()
    }
    dependencies {
        classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:7.2.0'


        classpath("com.google.android.gms:oss-licenses-plugin:0.10.5")

        // NOTE: Do not place your application dependencies here; they belong
        // in the individual module build.gradle files
    }
}

Could anyone offer a tip on how to fix this?

Answer 1

AGP 7.2.0 was released just some minutes ago and was not available earlier today yet. Try again.

Answer 2

from stackoverflow (example), just add google() in your build.gradle:

buildscript {
repositories {
    google()
    jcenter()
}
dependencies {
    classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:7.2.1'
}

}

allprojects {
repositories {
    google()
    jcenter()
}

}

Answer 3

As there is no such release listed on that site, this might be a bug. Use version 7.1.3 instead.

UPDATE: The release was made later that day. Now it should work as expected.

Thank you. Android Studio keeps showing the notification for updating the project to 7.2. I will accept your answer if no one comes up with a way to use 7.2 today. – Adumbral

Same problem here, I changed gradle version back to 7.1.3, now is working. – Capitation

I checked Google's Maven repository for available versions and used 7.2.0-rc2 yesterday. 7.2.0 just appeared about an hour ago and I confirmed that it works. – Tonsil

There is a strange issue with 7.2.0 on my end. All the sources were identical when I just updated them to 7.2.0 from 7.1.3. All is good when I run but when I release an APK then on one of my activities, gridView just doesn't inflate the card views without a crash. I tried rolling back and upgrading again. Be sure your APK/Bundle is complete. – Quade

I am getting strange issue post update to 7.2.0: Could not resolve all dependencies for configuration ':app:androidApis'. & Could not create task ':app:generateDebugLintModel' when adding new flavour. Is anyone else facing same problem? – Katanga
