android studio: FAILURE: Build failed with an exception

Question

I am trying to build a flutter app I get so many problems while building it and found a solutions for all of them but now I am stuck since the morning with this one:

> Task :firebase_auth:generateDebugRFile FAILED

FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

* What went wrong:
Execution failed for task ':firebase_auth:generateDebugRFile'.
> Could not resolve all files for configuration ':firebase_auth:debugCompileClasspath'.
   > Could not find browser-1.0.0.aar (androidx.browser:browser:1.0.0).
     Searched in the following locations:
         https://dl.google.com/dl/android/maven2/androidx/browser/browser/1.0.0/browser-1.0.0.aar

* Try:
Run with --stacktrace option to get the stack trace. Run with --info or --debug option to get more log output. Run with --scan to get full insights.

* Get more help at https://help.gradle.org

gradle.propertis:

org.gradle.jvmargs=-Xmx1536M
android.useAndroidX=true
android.enableJetifier=true

Solutions I tried:

• invalidate cache and restart
• flutter clean && flutter pub get
• gradlew clean && gradlew build
• delete the %USER%/.android and %USER%/.gradle and delete every thing related to android studio and reinstalled it
• use a VPN ( tried 3 )

but unfortunatly, nothing helped me

for further info: I am building fluxstore app

Answer 1

I still think its a connection issue . is maven google available in your browser with no VPN ?

if no then here is a old solution of mine , on how to configure gradle to use you VPN properly . Because you need to tell gradle to send request over VPN using gradle.properties file .
