I am new to Android Studio development, and I encountered a problem when creating my new Android project. Synchronization with Gradle fails:
Gradle sync failed: Could not create an instance of Tooling API implementation using the specified Gradle distribution ‘https://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-6.1.1-all.zip’
I have searched (I believe) everywhere, without finding a solution that works for me. I’ve tried to “Sync Project with Gradle files”, change the version of Gradle being used, install and use gradle locally, delete the “~ / .gradle / wrapper / dists” folder … nothing works, but I do not despair. Here are some of the last lines of the “idea.log”, hoping that can help you:

I am under MacOS Big Sur 11.0.1, with Android Studio 4.1.1.
Thanks for help !
