Android studio SDK error while downloading

Question

After installing Android Studio IDE, I had to download the SDK. But while downloading, It shows an error in the log everytime. The error is:

warning: An error occurred while preparing SDK package Google Repository: Cannot download 'https://dl.google.com/android/repository/google_m2repository_gms_v11_3_rc05_wear_2_0_5.zip': Tag mismatch!

What is a tag mismatch exactly and how can I fix this error?

Answer 1

Try one of these or all:

1. Tools > Options > Manifest Cache > Clear Cache then restart Android studio.

2. Configure -> SDK Manager -> Tools -> Web browser and then change the browser to your preferred one.

3. Try slowing down your internet speed. This a weird solution but seems to work for many.
