Android Studio / Intellij, Gradle Error:Cause: peer not authenticated

Question

Having a fight with IntelliJ at the moment. The darn thing won't download Gradle 2.1

I have an Android project hosted on GitHub, which I have cloned to my laptop. I have got working SSL certificates, I know this as I can download SDK software from google using SSL, and I can also download Gradle 1.12. The message I have received from IntelliJ is the rather infamous Error:Cause: peer not authenticated error.

From the terminal running IntelliJ I get this:

    * What went wrong:
A problem occurred configuring root project 'SomeAndroidProject'.
> Could not resolve all dependencies for configuration ':classpath'.
   > Could not resolve com.android.tools.build:gradle:0.13.0.
     Required by:
         :SomeAndroidProject:unspecified
      > Could not HEAD 'https://jcenter.bintray.com/com/android/tools/build/gradle/0.13.0/gradle-0.13.0.pom'.
         > peer not authenticated

I have search far and wide across the internet, with no avail. Please help me wise SO guru's!

Answer 1

Change your repositories syntax in build.gradle as following. See following question .

repositories {
    jcenter {
        url "http://jcenter.bintray.com/"
    }
}

Answer 2

I've fixed this issue by adding the following to my build.gradle:

repositories { 
        maven { 
            url 'http://repo1.maven.org/maven2'; 
        } 
} 

Once done, try syncing and rebuilding your project. Hope this was helpful.

Answer 3

you should import the certificate:

First of all download the certificate (.cer) from this url , Help is here

Copy it to the path JDK_HOME/jre/lib/security

Then with command prompt targeted to above location, run the following command:

keytool -import -alias git -file <cert_file_name_you_exported.cer> -keystore cacerts -storepass changeit

Type yes if it prompts for approval, after that open the desired IDEA and have fun :)

If this doesn't help, try importing the certificate to JRE/lib/security/cacerts , It's totally depend on the build path of the IDEA you are using

Answer 4

yeah I experienced exactly same situation It is not easy, but now I'm clear

I changed the build.gradle located in project forlder, not in app folder

I changed as below

repositories {
    jcenter 
    { 
        url 'http://jcenter.bintray.com' 
    } 
}

instead of

repositories {
    jacenter()
}

 } 

Once done, try syncing and rebuilding your project. Hope this was helpful.

Answer 6

When I updated to Android Studio 1.0 I found that I need to update to use 1.0.0 version of gradle.

Inside of the build.gradle file I had

  dependencies {
        classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:1.0.0-rc2'

I changed it to remove the "-rc2"

  dependencies {
        classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:1.0.0'

Answer 7

"Error:Cause: peer not authenticated."

As this occurs I using Ubuntu: When I changed version on android studio 2.0 9 preview beta 1.

How do I fix my gradle.

Simply created a new project in android studio and then went in and saw build.grandle version gradle in my case:

 dependencies {
         classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:2.0.0-beta1'
     }

and replace in my project.

I hope it helps others.

Like BzH :

This is a Java SSL connection error I solved on Github here .

You need to add the appropriate SSL certificate to the java keystore for java accept the connection.

Work fine :)
