Does someone know what the issue can be?

Gradle.build:

apply plugin: 'com.android.library'

android {
    compileSdkVersion 26
    buildToolsVersion '26.0.2'
    defaultConfig {
        minSdkVersion 24
        targetSdkVersion 26
    }

    buildTypes {
        release {
            minifyEnabled false
            proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
        }
    }
}

dependencies {
    implementation fileTree(include: ['*.jar'], dir: 'libs')
    implementation 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:+'
}

I'm using latest gradle version: "gradle-4.2.1-all.zip".

Solution 1 - Android

If you're running lint on a project that you created using an older version of Android Studio, you may encounter this error.

To resolve this issue, for each project that you would like to run lint on, include Google's Maven repository in the top-level build.gradle file, as shown below:

allprojects {
    repositories {
        // The order in which you list these repositories matter.
        google()
        jcenter()
    }
}

Solution 2 - Android

It looks to me like you're missing the google() repository in order to fetch the dependency.

Here's the link to the pom file that you're looking for: https://dl.google.com/dl/android/maven2/com/android/tools/testutils/26.1.0-alpha01/testutils-26.1.0-alpha01.pom

Solution 3 - Android

My answer is for everyone that Already have google() in repositories but still have same error

goto android studio settings and search for "HTTP Proxy" and make sure you haven't set a wrong proxy there. (set it to auto-detect proxy settings if not sure)
close android studio
goto C:/Users/DESKTOP-NAME/ and Delete .gradle folder (yes, it's big folder but don't be scared its just keeping all versions of your old gradle files that is not needed now)
goto you project folder and delete .gradle folder and app/build folder (make a backup before this just in case)
restart your PROXY server Or VPN provider (if you use one) and make sure you have a working internet connection.
Open Android Studio and wait until successful build (it's gonna take a little longer).

Solution 4 - Android

I solved this by adding the https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/com.android.tools.lint/lint-gradle-api repo to build.gradle:

repositories {
    maven {
        url 'https://maven.google.com/'
        name 'Google'
    }
    jcenter()
    maven {
        url 'https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/com.android.tools.lint/lint-gradle-api'
    }
}

Solution 5 - Android

I have changed my current gradle version(3.3.2 to 3.2.1) from the global build.gradle file.

buildscript {
 repositories {
    google()
    jcenter()
    maven { url 'https://maven.google.com' }
 }

 dependencies {
    classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.2.1'
 }
}

allprojects {
 repositories {
    google()
    jcenter()
    maven { url 'https://maven.google.com' }
 }
}

then click on sync gradle button on the top right corner of the screen.

Solution 6 - Android

Try this,

File -> Settings -> Build,Execution,Deployment -> Gradle -> Android Studio -> Select -Enable embedded maven repository - Apply.

Solution 7 - Android

Another option is

./gradlew -x:app:lintVitalRelease assemble

To quote Gradle Docs:

Excluding tasks from execution

You can exclude a task from being executed using the -x or --exclude-task command-line option and providing the name of the task to exclude.

Reference: https://docs.gradle.org/current/userguide/command_line_interface.html#sec:excluding_tasks_from_the_command_line

Archived link: http://archive.is/TsPPJ#sec:excluding_tasks_from_the_command_line

Solution 8 - Android

just comment google and sync project

   repositories {
    google()
    jcenter()
   }

Disable offline mode and uncomment google() and sync again...

Solution 9 - Android

Add google() to your gradle If you face this again,Do not add a linter disabler to your gradle, This is an access error issue,I faced that on react-native after using sudo command for a few command, Just reset your code access and then release again For example the mac

sudo chmod -R 777 <project-root-folder-name>

Solution 10 - Android

add below code to your build.gradle (Module) to skip error

lintOptions {
        abortOnError false
}

Solution 12 - Android

im my case I solved the problem by downgrading gradle version from 3.6.3:

buildscript {
repositories {
    jcenter()
    google()
}
dependencies {
    classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.6.3'

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

to 3.4.2:

buildscript {
repositories {
    jcenter()
    google()
}
dependencies {
    classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.4.2'

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

Solution 13 - Android

Do not comment out google(), while applying the solutions above:

repositories {
    maven {
        url 'https://maven.google.com/'
        name 'Google'
    }
    jcenter()
    google()
    maven {
        url 'https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/com.android.tools.lint/lint-gradle-api'
    }
}

Solution 14 - Android

To solve dependencies issues it's always helpful to use

./gradlew clean build --refresh-dependencies

In my case I got the next message:

- Variant 'runtimeElements' capability com.android.tools.lint:lint-api:30.0.2 declares a runtime of a library, packaged as a jar, and its dependencies declared externally, as well as attribute 'org.jetbrains.kotlin.platform.type' with value 'jvm':
          - Incompatible because this component declares a component compatible with Java 8 and the consumer needed a component compatible with Java 7
          - Other compatible attribute:
              - Doesn't say anything about its target Java environment (preferred optimized for standard JVMs)

So, my problem with this dependency was that I was using:

java {
    sourceCompatibility = JavaVersion.VERSION_1_7
    targetCompatibility = JavaVersion.VERSION_1_7
}

and this particular dependency requires JavaVersion.VERSION_1_8 instead. When I replaced it by

java {
    sourceCompatibility = JavaVersion.VERSION_1_8
    targetCompatibility = JavaVersion.VERSION_1_8
}

it started working.
