Could not find com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.0.0-alpha1 in circle ci

Google have new maven repo

https://android-developers.googleblog.com/2017/10/android-studio-30.html > section Google’s Maven Repository

https://developer.android.com/studio/preview/features/new-android-plugin-migration.html
https://developer.android.com/studio/build/dependencies.html#google-maven

So add the dependency on maven repo:

buildscript {
    repositories {
        ...
        // You need to add the following repository to download the
        // new plugin.
        google() // new which replace https://maven.google.com
        jcenter()
    }

    dependencies {
        classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.6.3'  //Minimum supported Gradle version is 4.6.
    }
}
