Android build miss intellij - android-studio

Question

since today I cannot build my android project because of this error :
> Could not resolve all files for configuration ':classpath'.
> Could not find intellij-core.jar (com.android.tools.external.com-intellij:intellij-core:26.0.1).
Searched in the following locations:
https://jcenter.bintray.com/com/android/tools/external/com-intellij/intellij-core/26.0.1/intellij-core-26.0.1.jar
Android studio 3.2.1
com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.0.1
Do you have any clue ???
Thanks a lot

Answer 1

I had the same problem with a cordova-android#7.1.1 project. I read this question Android Studio - Could not find intellij-core.jar and I solved by joining more than one answer.
Premise:
Android Studio 3.2.1
Cordova Android 7.1.1
Cordova Cli 8.1.2
Resolution:
File: platforms/android/build.gradle
...
buildscript {
repositories {
google()
maven {
url "https://maven.google.com"
}
jcenter()
}
dependencies {
// NOTE: Do not place your application dependencies here; they belong
// in the individual module build.gradle files
classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.0.1'
}
}
...
File: platforms/android/app/build.gradle
...
buildscript {
repositories {
google()
maven {
url "https://maven.google.com"
}
jcenter()
}
dependencies {
classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.0.1'
}
}
// Allow plugins to declare Maven dependencies via build-extras.gradle.
allprojects {
repositories {
google()
maven {
url "https://maven.google.com"
}
jcenter()
}
}
...
File: platforms/android/CordovaLib/build.gradle
...
buildscript {
repositories {
google()
maven {
url "https://maven.google.com"
}
jcenter()
}
dependencies {
classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.0.1'
classpath 'com.github.dcendents:android-maven-gradle-plugin:1.5'
classpath 'com.jfrog.bintray.gradle:gradle-bintray-plugin:1.7.3'
}
}
...
This solution is working to me, I hope I helped you

I have the same issues, and change to classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.1.0' solve my issues. You can try it.

This answer is heavily based on the ionic article: https://ionic.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/360005529314
This script can be added to the hooks so no need to fiddle with the platforms code manually.
Create a maven_swap.sh with the following:
#!/bin/bash
#remove jcenter
sed -i.bak '/jcenter()/d' platforms/android/CordovaLib/build.gradle
#append jcenter
sed -i.bak '/maven {/{
N
N
a\
jcenter()
}' platforms/android/CordovaLib/build.gradle
cat platforms/android/CordovaLib/build.gradle
rm platforms/android/CordovaLib/build.gradle.bak
note: sed -i.bak ensures linux & mac compatibility.
Make sure the file is executable chmod +x maven_swap.sh
Add in the config.xml the following:
<platform name="android">
<hook src="maven_swap.sh" type="before_compile" />
...
</platform>
