I have been building a gradle project with Android Studio for many weeks which uses this:
dependencies {
classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:0.12.+'
I was trying to work on an airplane offline, and it failed with the error message included at the bottom of this big report.
If I change the classpath to use 0.12.2 instead of 0.12.+, it works without an error message. I could understand this failing if my laptop was using a clean Android Studio install. But if I toggle the network on to do a build, it works, and then toggle the wifi off, it fails.
So it seems like the + rule is requiring the ability to check an update server. When it really should try to check, and if it fails, then it should just use whatever is stored locally and build with that. I believe the bug is in gradle and not in Android Studio itself, and would appreciate any assistance with this.
ERROR MESSAGE:
