Gradle not installing dependencies within Android Studio

Question

I have a react native app which I'm unable to build because dependencies are not available. View full error output, or this snippet:

> Could not resolve all dependencies for configuration ':app:_debugApk'.
   > A problem occurred configuring project ':react-native-admob'.
      > Could not resolve all dependencies for configuration ':react-native-admob:_debugPublishCopy'.
         > Could not find com.android.support:support-core-ui:25.2.0.

Within Android Studio I've tried Sync project with Gradle files a few times, but the dependencies are not installed.

I've tried Invalidate caches/restart after which the Gradle build fails with the same errors

This is my android/build.gradle file

// 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:2.2.3'

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

allprojects {
    repositories {
        mavenLocal()
        jcenter()
        maven {
            // All of React Native (JS, Obj-C sources, Android binaries) is installed from npm
            url "$rootDir/../node_modules/react-native/android"
        }

Answer 1

Uninstalling and reinstalling the Android Support Repository from the Android SDK Manager solved this error.

Can you try by adding the google() in the repositories like shown between the *

buildscript {
    repositories {
        jcenter()
        **google()**
    }
    dependencies {
        classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:2.2.3'

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

allprojects {
    repositories {
        mavenLocal()
        jcenter()
        maven {
            // All of React Native (JS, Obj-C sources, Android binaries) is installed from npm
            url "$rootDir/../node_modules/react-native/android"
        }
    }
}
