Android build and gradle

It has happened a few days ago, and today once again:

Could not resolve com.android.tools.build:gradle:2.3.1.
Could not get resource ‘https://jcenter.bintray.com/com/android/tools/build/gradle/2.3.1/gradle-2.3.1.pom’.

Any ideas.
Thank you

Hi @BartSmaga,

Thanks for reporting the issue!

This error seems to be related to the ongoing bintray.com issue, see:


From our status page:

There’s an ongoing, sporadic issue related to Android dependency downloads from bintray.com, manifesting in “Received status code 500 from server: Internal Server Error” errors sometimes.

The issue is reported on the bintray status page, for more information please see: http://status.bintray.com/incidents/gc6bhb1hb6m6

Note: a reliable mitigation can be to configure a Bitrise Build Cache for your Android project, you can find a guide for the setup at: How to cache Gradle dependencies
