Android gradle 3.0.0 - Unexpected end of ZLIB input stream

After updating android studio to 3.0 and switching to gradle plugin 3.0.0 I am getting this error:

Gradle '...' project refresh failed
    Error:Unexpected end of ZLIB input stream

The problems appears both in all my old projects but brand new ones as well. Any Idea on what is causing this? Gradle 2.3.3 works fine

my project build.gradle:

    // Top-level build file where you can add configuration options common to all sub-projects/modules.

buildscript {
    ext.kotlin_version = '1.1.51'
    repositories {
        google()
        jcenter()
    }
    dependencies {
        classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.0.0'
        classpath "org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-gradle-plugin:$kotlin_version"

        // NOTE: Do not place your application dependencies here; they belong
        // in the individual module build.gradle files
    }
}

allprojects {
    repositories {
        google()
        jcenter()
    }
}

task clean(type: Delete) {
    delete rootProject.buildDir
}

And the gradle-wrapper.properties:

distributionBase=GRADLE_USER_HOME
distributionPath=wrapper/dists
zipStoreBase=GRADLE_USER_HOME
zipStorePath=wrapper/dists
distributionUrl=https\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-4.1-all.zip

Any help would be appreciated!

I had the same problem after my studio upgraded from 2.3.3 to 3.0, of course I have upgraded my project gradle plugin version from 2.3.3 to 3.0.

I think the gradle plugin jar file is broken and not readable or any unknow exception happened, so delete it and re-download.

What I propose is to,

  • Delete gradle folder in studio installed path (mine is D:\Tool\android-studio\gradle),
  • Re-sync your project. The project will re-download its dependencies.

If the problem is not solved, try to delete your gradle user data (mine is C:\Users\tea\.gradle) and then re-sync project.

It's solved in MAC

  1. uninstall gradle brew uninstall gradle
  2. brew install gradle
  3. cd ~/[users].gradle/
  4. rm -r *
  5. synchronize android studio

Pls. see this official tutorial on gradle migration to 3.0.

Had similar issue - the reason was that in manifest was written meta_data instead of meta-data. For older gradle it was just warning, for new - fatal error.

Maybe you have something similar.

I have also been experiencing this error with gradle 4.0.0 and 4.0.1. Unfortunately deleting the Users/<user>/.gradle folder didn't do the trick. I had to uninstall and re-install android studio along with deleting the Users/<user>/.gradle folder again

For me worked to delete everything in:

C:\Users\userName\.gradle
