Gradle Error : Could not find com.android.tools.build:gradle:6.6.1

Question

I'm trying to build my android project, but I've got this error :

Could not find com.android.tools.build:gradle:6.6.1.

Searched in the following locations:

https://jcenter.bintray.com/com/android/tools/build/gradle/6.6.1/gradle-6.6.1.pom If the artifact you are trying to retrieve can be found in the repository but without metadata in 'Maven POM' format, you need to adjust the 'metadataSources { ... }' of the repository declaration.

Gradle version and gradle plugin version are different things. Gradle version 6.6.1 exist but gradle plugin version 6.6.1 does not exist. You need to update gradle plugin version as 4.0.2 in your app level build.gradle file.

dependencies {
    classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:4.0.2'
}

You can find more information from https://developer.android.com/studio/releases/gradle-plugin
