Could not find com.android.tools.build:gradle:8.0.0

Question

I'm trying to open a project from github on android studio 2022.21.1 with gradle. I've an issue with the following message :Could not find com.android.tools.build:gradle:8.0.0

I've downloaded the 8.1.1 version and edit the local varibale environement in windows by adding the gradle path.

in the build.gradle file, I've change the classpath to 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:8.1.1'

Now i've the following error : Could not find com.android.tools.build:gradle:8.1.1. Can you have an idea ?

Thanks a lot Max

The com.android.tools.build:gradle:$version is what we called Android Gradle Plugin (AGP), its latest stable version is 8.0.0 (Apr 13, 2023), you can check all available versions here

Compatibility with Gradle you can see here
