Building offlline fails because it is unable to find aapt2 ( com.android.tools.build:aapt2:3.3.2-5309881)

[devhandle]

I'm struggling to get the plugin to work with my project. My project is a simple test project with a single app. Running ./gradlew syncRemoteRepositories succeeds and creates a repo directory under my project (myapp/repo) but when I run ./gradlew assembleDebug --offline I see the error message below. The error is correct because the location does not exist in my offline repo - the only 'aapt2' folder is this one file:/myapp/repo/com.android.tools.build/aapt2-proto/0.3.1/

Any ideas on how I can fix this because I've been fighting with it for last few days. I've also pasted my build.gradle below

* What went wrong:
Could not resolve all files for configuration ':app:_internal_aapt2_binary'.

Most of what you are trying to do here...

    addConfigurationsFor = { Project forProj ->
        if( forProj != project ) {
            forProj.configurations.each { Configuration c->
                logger.info "${forProj.name}: ${c.name}"
                String configName = "${forProj.name}_${c.name}_deps"
                project.configurations.create configName
                project.syncRemoteRepositories.configurations configName
                c.dependencies.each { Dependency d ->
                    logger.info "Found ${d} in ${forProj.name}. Adding to ${configName}"
                    project.dependencies.add configName, d
                }
            }
            forProj.childProjects.each { String projName, Project p ->
                addConfigurationsFor(p)
            }
        }
    }

... can probably be achieved by simply doing syncRemoteProjects.addAllProjects()

Closing this as it has been open for a long time and the suggestion should have solved the problem.
