Gradle Error Using Android Studio 4.1

When I try to build my project, I am getting an error. Here is the Gradle error trace:

A problem occurred configuring root project 'DOV'.

Hi @oras. Have you included the Maven plugin repositories into your Gradle dependencies, as discussed in the project's README.md?

TLDR, ensure you have these additions to your top-level build.gradle:

buildscript {
    repositories {
        maven {
            url "https://plugins.gradle.org/m2/"
        }
        // ...
    }
    // ...
}

allprojects {
    repositories {
        maven {
            url "https://plugins.gradle.org/m2/"
        }
        // ...
    }
    // ...
}

[msimic-dev]

According to this we should add our dependencies to the settings.gradle file.

Here is my settings.gradle

dependencyResolutionManagement {
    repositoriesMode.set(RepositoriesMode.FAIL_ON_PROJECT_REPOS)
    repositories {
        google()
        mavenCentral()
        jcenter() // Warning: this repository is going to shut down soon

        maven {
            url "https://plugins.gradle.org/m2/"
        }
    }
}
rootProject.name = "AWS Test"
include ':app'

And this is my top-level build.gralde

// Top-level build file where you can add configuration options common to all sub-projects/modules.
buildscript {
    repositories {
        google()
        mavenCentral()

        maven {
            url "https://plugins.gradle.org/m2/"
        }
    }
    dependencies {
        classpath "com.android.tools.build:gradle:7.0.1"
        classpath "org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-gradle-plugin:1.5.30"
        classpath 'com.amazonaws:aws-android-sdk-appsync-gradle-plugin:3.1.2'

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

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

I'm getting this error message and can't really figure out why

Execution failed for task ':app:nodeSetup'.
> Build was configured to prefer settings repositories over project repositories but repository 'ivy' was added by unknown code

Hi, any update on this? I have exactly the same problem as @msimic-dev. Running on a MacBook with M1 pro chip.

[lindan4]

I am also facing the same problem as @msimic-dev.

[tylerjroach]

Please upgrade to 3.4.1 which contains support for Apple Silicon chips

Hi, @tylerjroach. I upgraded to 3.4.1. But I am also facing the same problem as @msimic-dev. Running on a MacBook with M3 pro chip.

@hackfreeee can you show your build.gradle?

error message

[tylerjroach]

The failure is coming from your settings.gradle.kts setup of repositoriesMode.set(RepositoriesMode.FAIL_ON_PROJECT_REPOS).

Can you try and replace that with repositoriesMode.set(RepositoriesMode.PREFER_SETTINGS) and report back?

[hackfreeee]

@tylerjroach The following was output

Hi @hackfreeee @lindan4. This issue is caused by the Node Gradle Plugin being used adding a repository pointing to the nodejs.org distribution location. This plugin is used to install Node in order to run the Apollo codegen. Newer Gradle versions have centralized repository declarations in settings.gradle.kts and fail by default if anything else tries to add them.

The easiest workaround is to use repositoriesMode.set(RepositoriesMode.PREFER_SETTINGS) as suggested and to manually specify the repository in your settings.gradle.kts file. This is how I did it:

dependencyResolutionManagement {
    repositoriesMode.set(RepositoriesMode.PREFER_SETTINGS)
    repositories {
        google()
        mavenCentral()
        ivy {
            name = "Node.js"
            setUrl("https://nodejs.org/dist/")
            patternLayout {
                artifact("v[revision]/[artifact](-v[revision]-[classifier]).[ext]")
            }
            metadataSources {
                artifact()
            }
            content {
                includeModule("org.nodejs", "node")
            }
        }
    }
}

Please let us know if that resolves the issue.

Solved. Thank you so much.
