Could not find org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-gradle-plugin:1.5.21

After reinstalling android studio and vscode I am running into issues with kotlin and gradle. The changes I have made is in root of android folder under build.gradle.

buildscript {
    ext.kotlin_version = '1.5.21 ' //previous was 1.5.20
    repositories {
        google()
        jcenter()
    }
    dependencies {
        classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:7.0.2' // previous was 4.1.1
        classpath 'com.google.gms:google-services:4.3.8'
        classpath "org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-gradle-plugin:$kotlin_version"
    }
}

I haven't made any other changes, How can I fix this ? The error I get is

FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

CodePudding user response:

The problem you're facing is occurring because you have not added mavenCentral() to your repositories {} block. Add it like this:

repositories {
  mavenCentral()
  google()
}

And also, remove jcenter(), it is deprecated now.
