```

 

I make the change in the ``platforms/android/CordovaLib/build.gradle``

 

```

buildscript {
repositories {
jcenter()
maven

{ // change "https://maven.google.com" url "https://plugins.gradle.org/m2/" }

}

dependencies

{ // classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.0.1' // change 1.5 to 2.0 classpath 'com.github.dcendents:android-maven-gradle-plugin:2.0' classpath 'com.jfrog.bintray.gradle:gradle-bintray-plugin:1.7.3' }

}

```

and the build works.
