I migrate to Android studio 3.0. So, the project become unable to compile a module named ":animator" and it displays me this error:

With Android Studio 2.3(AS) the project works fine and i can able to run the App. After updating the AS to Android Studio 3.0. i too got the error as below for libraries and build types.
Unable to resolve dependency for ':app#dexOptions/compileClasspath': Could not resolve project : library_Name.
Unable to resolve dependency for ':app#release/compileClasspath': Could not resolve project : library_Name.
To Solve the issue, simply.
What ever the
buildTypes{
debug{ ... }
release{ ... }
}
you have in your (app) build.gradle file, You have to include all the buildTypes{ } with same names as like
buildTypes{
debug{ ... }
release{ ... }
}
in to build.gradle files of All libraries/modules included in project.
clean and rebuild the project, the issue will be fixed.
Still issue not fixed, update the gradle-wrapper.properties to
distributionUrl=https\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-4.1-all.zip
As stated in the official migration guide, this error is encountered when:
Your app includes a build type that a library dependency does not
android {
buildTypes {
release {
...
}
dexOptions {
...
// release & debug is in project animators
matchingFallbacks = ['release', 'debug']
}
debug {
...
}
}
}
Correct place to find the info is now this documentation
Make sure you're in your project
Open the Preferences, by clicking File > Settings (on Mac,
Android Studio > Preferences).
In the left pane, click Build, Execution, Deployment >> Gradle.
Uncheck/disable the Offline work checkbox.
Click Apply or OK.
I spent a lot of time on this issue and none of above solutions work for me. The names and number of build types were also exactly equal in both app and library project.
The only mistake I was making was - In library project's build.gradle, I was using line
apply plugin: 'com.android.application'
While this line should be -
apply plugin: 'com.android.library'
After making this change, this error got resolved.
Modify all
compile project(':library:yourproject')
to
implementation project(path: ':library:yourproject', configuration:'default')
in your app build.gradle. Note the line with configuration.
I tried everything from unchecking offline work to matchingFallbacks. But nothing worked.
Then, in dependencies of app.gradle,
instead of
implementation project(':lib-name')
I used,
implementation project(path:':lib-name', configuration: 'default')
Eg: implementation project(path:':myService', configuration:
'default')
And it worked like a charm. :)
I was adding a dependency module with service and am not making a library as its a part of AOSP project.
Just in case, it helps someone.
Solution:
Dowload the ultimate version of Gradle
http://services.gradle.org/distributions/
gradle-4.x-rc-1-all.zip.sha256 09-Jan-2018 01:15 +0000 64.00B
Unzip the distribution
Go to Android Studio -> File -> Settings -> Gradle -> Use local gradle distribution
Search the file and OK
In the gradle:app write this, implementation(path: ':animators', configuration: 'default')
dependencies {
.
.
.
implementation project(path: ':animators', configuration: 'default')
}
Here is how I solved my problem:
instead of
compile project(':library_name')
compile project(':library_name')
in app gradle I have used
implementation project(':library_name')
implementation project(':library_name')
And in my build types for example
demoTest {
.........
}
I added this line
demoTest {
matchingFallbacks = ['debug', 'release']
}
I had the same issue, and solved it by adding 'mavenCentral()' to build.gradle(Project)
allprojects {
repositories {
...
mavenCentral()
}
}
My problem is below
Unable to resolve dependency for ':app#debug/compileClasspath': Could not download rxjava.jar (io.reactivex.rxjava2:rxjava:2.2.2)
Solved by checking Enable embedded Maven Repository
Even, I have faced the same issue.
I have fixed the issue by referring the above
Solution 2 with the new gradle-4.1 :
I have done the following gradle changes.
It seems downloading resources through maven Amazon helped me to fix the issue, there are issues with appcompat library. Check and ensure that appcompat compatible support libraries downloaded in your system. What I feel, it just simply the resources not downloaded through maven, causing the compile error issue. Ensure the resources are found in your local drive to fix the issue.
Just Played around with
Maven Amazon url
repositories {
maven {
url "https://s3.amazonaws.com/repo.commonsware.com"
}
jcenter()
}
Compatible support libraries downloaded in the drive and referring compatible libraries in gradle.

Change this code in gradle:
compile project(':yourLibrary')
to
implementation project(path: ': yourLibrary', configuration:'default')
I found two type of solutions :
Solution with the old gradle-3.3 :
As first and temporary solution to make the project run with android studio 3.0 , I maintain the old config of my previous of Android Studio 2.3
distributionUrl=https://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-3.3-all.zip , compileSdkVersion 25** and **buildToolsVersion "25.0.3" and classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:2.3.3
Solution with the new gradle-4.1 :
To work with the new features of gradle 4.1 and the classpath com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.0.0' , I followed this link https://developer.android.com/studio/build/gradle-plugin-3-0-0-migration.html . So, Those are my implementations :

In the build.gradle of the library animator I upgrade targetSdkVersion to 26 :
apply plugin: 'com.android.library'
android {
compileSdkVersion 26
buildToolsVersion '26.0.2'
defaultConfig {
minSdkVersion 21
targetSdkVersion 26

implementation "com.android.support:support-core-ui:26.0.2"
implementation "com.android.support:recyclerview-v7:26.0.2"
}
you just need to reset dependencies in app.gradle file
like old one as
androidTestImplementation 'com.android.support.test:runner:0.5'
androidTestImplementation 'com.android.support.test.espresso:espresso-core:2.2.2'
to new one as
androidTestImplementation 'com.android.support.test:runner:1.0.1'
androidTestImplementation 'com.android.support.test.espresso:espresso-core:3.0.1'
Make sure you have disabled "Offline work" in Gradle settings (Setting->Build, Execution, Deployment->Build Tools->Gradle).
I made this mistake. I followed a guide on speeding up gradle builds and had turned on the Offline work option. If that is enabled, Gradle won't be able to download any new dependencies and hence will result in the "Unable to resolve dependency" error.
I met the same problems and has solved.
Due to my situation, I guess your build.gradle file for app project contains snippets below:
android {
...
buildTypes {
debug {...}
release {...}
dexOptions {...}
}
}
but actually, dexOptions is not a build type, you should move dexOptions section out buildTypes, like this:
android {
...
dexOptions {
...
}
buildTypes {
debug {...}
release {...}
}
}
Hope that can help someone.
Adding productFlavors{} to the app build.gradle solved the issue for me. See below:
buildTypes {
release {
...
}
}
productFlavors {
}
This may also happen when you add a reference to the feature module that uses the incorrect plugin type. Simply change com.android.application to com.android.feature or com.android.library

I think it's from gradle-wrapper.properties file :
make distribution url distributionUrl=https\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-3.3-all.zip
and do not upgarde to : distributionUrl=https\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-4 ....
It seems like it's a bug on Gradle. This solves the problem for me, but it's not a solution. We have to wait for a new version fixing this problems.
On build.gradle in the project set classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:2.3.3' instead classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.0.0'.
On gradle-wrapper.properties set https://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-3.3-all.zip instead https://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-4.1.2-all.zip
In my case, the problem I had was due to a dependency I was trying to import (BottomNavigationViewEx).
This dependency requires to be downloaded from jitpack.io and maven.google.com, and I was putting this config in buildscript section:
buildscript {
repositories {
google()
jcenter()
maven { url "https://jitpack.io" } // this is incorrect
maven { url "https://maven.google.com" } // this is incorrect
}
dependencies {
classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.1.2'
}
}
which it was incorrect, I need to remove these two maven lines and include them in the right section, 'allprojects':
allprojects {
repositories {
google()
jcenter()
maven { url "https://jitpack.io" }
maven { url "https://maven.google.com" }
}
}
Hope it helps somebody as same for me.
I tried all the solutions given above and none of them worked for me, I ensured that I have exact build types and product flavours in my library module and app module.
This thread seems to have wondered a bit, however as relating to the original question, not only do you have to have your buildTypes in both build.gradle files, you need to have your productFlavors (if you are using them of course) in both build.gradle files as well.
I tried running Android studio 3.0.1 with internet connection. Android studio started downloading something from a link automatically which was showing in Gradle build notification. I can't say this is a sure answer but try this out.. maybe you can get your issue resolved.
If using Android Studio on Linux:
go to: Home/Android Studio Projects folder/App name folder
open terminal on that page and type:
./gradlew -Dhttp.proxyHost
check if JAVA_HOME is set on valid directory, if not set valid location finally rebuild your project.
NOTE: if that doesn't work remove gradle cache folder or all of that
and download again with Android Studio.
Add the library from File->Right click->New->Module->Import Eclipse ADT project->brows your library->finish
Now add in the app gradle setting following code:
implementation project(':library')
Finally add in the setting gradle following code:
include ':app', ':library'
After updating android studio to 3.3. I faced this problem when I tried to load Firebase JobDispatcher.
Adding this link on gradle.properties solved my problem
distributionUrl=https://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-4.1-all.zip
I know none of the above solutions is gonna work as I have remained stuck into this sort of issue a long time, finally resolved this issue after watching the issue very carefully, which is pointing that
Unable to resolve dependency for ':app#dexOptions/compileClasspath':
Could not resolve project : library_Name.
You need to make a sure and double check if the class is residing there. This one thing will prove much helpful to many I guess because focusing on this point took me much closer to the solution. Now if nothing exists in that folder path you need to get the whole stuff like src folder build folder etc everything, copy that and paste it over there sync/rebuild project, if needed try invalidate and restart android studio. Hope so this will get you out of trouble as happend in my case.
Thanks
changing implementation 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:27+' to implementation 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:+' worked for me
I am using Intellij 2019 CE, with Kotlin
In my case it was so:
Unable to resolve dependency for ':app#debug/compileClasspath': Failed to transform artifact....
I tried ten solutions, no one worked, thus my solution was to remove C:\Users\djdance.gradle\caches and restart AS
I am developing an Android library that depends on Google Play Services.
The instructions provided by Google on how to setup Google Play Services only specify the steps to follow when adding it to an application project and not a library.
I tried following the same steps for my library and ended up with the following build.gradle file:
buildscript {
repositories {
jcenter()
}
dependencies {
classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:2.0.0-alpha3'
classpath 'com.google.gms:google-services:2.0.0-alpha3'
}
}
apply plugin: 'com.android.library'
android {
compileSdkVersion 23
buildToolsVersion "23.0.2"
defaultConfig {
minSdkVersion 15
targetSdkVersion 23
versionCode 1
versionName "1.0"
}
buildTypes {
release {
minifyEnabled false
proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
}
}
}
repositories {
jcenter()
mavenCentral()
}
dependencies {
compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])
compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:23.1.1'
compile 'com.android.support:support-annotations:+'
provided 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-auth:8.4.0'
}
apply plugin: 'com.google.gms.google-services'
The problem with this is that when building the project, I get the following exception:
* What went wrong:
Execution failed for task ':processDebugGoogleServices'.
> File google-services.json is missing from module root folder. The Google Services Plugin cannot function without it.
I understand this because, as stated in the Google Play Services documentation (https://developers.google.com/android/guides/setup) , it depends on a json file for configuration. However, since I am building this as a library, I wanted the google-services.json file to be added in the project that will use my library instead of putting it in the library itself.
So how can I do this? How can I compile my library that depends on classes defined in Google Play Services but not really configure Google Play Services inside the library and let it be done by the application that consumes my library?
Thank you!
It was simpler than I thought.
All I had to do was remove the lines classpath 'com.google.gms:google-services:2.0.0-alpha3' and apply plugin: 'com.google.gms.google-services' from the library's build.gradle file and then add them only to the gradle file in my application project that depends on this custom library.
You can generate and add the google-services.json using instruction on this page
It has a step by step set of instructions for generation of the file.
I imported several eclipse projects to Android Studio (v1.1).
In the original Eclipse environment, they use Proguard for release mode.
In the Android Studio environment, this was translated to the following in the build.gradle script (by the import, not by me):
buildTypes {
release {
minifyEnabled true
proguardFiles 'proguard.cfg'
}
}
I understand that this means that "in release build, enable Proguard's minify, using proguard.cfg".
The problem, however, is that minify seems to be happening in non-release build (i.e. debug) as well!
How is this possible?
What is the default for minifyEnabled for debug build?
UPDATE 1: Thanks to the answer below, I now know that the default is false. Which means something else is building the various modules minified in debug build.
I am posting the entire build.gradle for one of the modules that get minified in debug build:
apply plugin: 'com.android.library'
android {
compileSdkVersion 8
buildToolsVersion "21.1.2"
defaultConfig {
minSdkVersion 8
targetSdkVersion 8
}
buildTypes {
release {
minifyEnabled true
proguardFiles 'proguard.cfg'
}
}
}
The entire build.gradle for the project itself (i.e. top level) is:
// Top-level build file where you can add configuration options common to all sub-projects/modules.
buildscript {
repositories {
jcenter()
}
dependencies {
classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:1.1.0'
}
}
allprojects {
repositories {
jcenter()
}
}
I cannot spot here anything that could explain enforcing minify on a debug build.
UPDATE 2: Suspecting a mismatch between app's build (debug) and the modules on which it depends (release?), I also checked the Build Variant view on the the left panel. The all show debug unequivocally.
UPDATE 3: It appears that I hit a bug/limitation in Android-Gradle?
I truly need all modules built in debug mode when the app is built in debug mode.
Any ideas how I can solve this problem?
The default value for minifyEnabled is false for all build types, as #laalto answered.
However, currently (as of 2015-04-24), this is not true for multi-module projects, in which some modules (app included) are dependent on other modules. This is due to bug #52962 that causes build types to not propagate to libraries -- they're always built as RELEASE.
Suggestions to work around this bug or notifications of its fix are most welcome.
What is the default for minifyEnabled for debug build?
The default value for minifyEnabled is false for all build types. Reference.
The problem, however, is that minify seems to be happening in non-release build (i.e. debug) as well!
How is this possible?
Your debug build gets proguard treatment possibly by some other definition somewhere, or an external build script you're using.
In your updated question, you have a library project and an app project that uses a minified library even for debug builds. That's a "feature". For a solution, consider the following also mentioned in the issue report:
Build all variants of the library project by adding the following to its build.gradle:
android {
publishNonDefault true
}
In the app project, choose the build type specific dependency with
dependencies {
releaseCompile project(path: ':theotherproject', configuration: 'release')
debugCompile project(path: ':theotherproject', configuration: 'debug')
}
