Here is my solution for key phrases of the messages: “unable to find valid certification path” and “PKIX path building failed“.

These phrases are shown when a SSL certification file can not be found.

Open https://jcenter.bintray.com/ in your browse and export the certificate in cer format.

Put the certificate in Android Studio’s cert folder

{your-home-directory}/.AndroidStudio3.0/system/tasks/cacerts

Then all went well.

Since this is caused by a misconfiguration of the network you are operating on just setup your smartphone to share its internet connection using USB tethering and use it to download the missing packages

quot Unable to find valid certification path to requested target quot  If you are getting this message  you probably are behind a Proxy on your company  which probably is signing all request certificates with your company root CA certificate  this certificate is trusted only inside your company  so Android Studio cannot validate any certificate signed with your company certificate as valid  so  you need to tell Android Studio to trust your company certificate  you do that by adding your company certificate to Android Studio truststore   I m doing this on macOS  but should be similar on Linux or Windows   First  you need to save your company root CA certificate as a file  you can ask this certificate to your IT department  or download it yourself  here is how  Open your browser and open this url  for example  https   jcenter bintray com  or https   search maven org   click on the lock icon and then click on Show certificate   On the popup window  to save the root certificate as a file  make sure to select the top level of the certificates chain  the root cert  and drag the certificate image to a folder directory on your disk drive  It should be saved as a file as  for example  my-root-ca-cert cer  or my-root-ca-cert pem   Second  let s add this certificate to the accepted Server Certificates of Android Studio   On Android Studio open Preferences - gt  Tools - gt  Server Certificates  on the box Accepted certificates click the plus icon      search the certificate you saved previously and click Apply and OK   Third  you need to add the certificate to the Android Studio JDK truststore  Gradle use this JDK to build the project  so it s important    In Android Studio open File - gt  Project Structure - gt  SDK Location - gt  JDK Location  Copy the path of JDK Location  and open the Terminal  and change your directory to that path  for example  execute  cd  Applications Android  Studio app Contents jre jdk Contents Home    don t forget to scape the whitespace   quot    quot   Now  to import the certificate to the truststore  execute    bin keytool -importcert -file  path to your certificate my-root-ca-cert cer -keystore   jre lib security cacerts -storepass changeit -noprompt   Finally  restart Android Studio  or better click File - gt  Invalidate Caches   Restart  Done  you should be able to build your project now

For me the issue was android studio was not able to establish connection with   https   jcenter bintray com    Changing this to  http  fixed the issue for me  Though this is not recommended    In your build gradle file  change   repositories      jcenter       to  repositories      maven   url  http   jcenter bintray com

jcenter   equals to https   bintray com bintray jcenter You need import jcenter s cerficate into your java keystore  Steps   Visit jcenter using your browser and export the certificate as  crt file   lock icon on the left of Firefox address bar  or Chrome developer tool secuity tab  Download this tool and run it  Select  quot Open an existing KeyStore quot  button to open JDKPATH jre lib security cacerts  the password is  quot changeit quot  Use the  quot Import Trusted Certificate quot  button to import the  crt file  then save and exist  If you are behind proxy  in gradle properties  besides setting systemProp http proxyHost and systemProp http proxyPort also set systemProp https proxyHost and systemProp https proxyPort By now it should be fine

If you are working in a restricted workplaces you probably will encounter this problem   A combination of a few things worked for me  Basically change https to http   From https    repositories      jcenter       To     repositories           maven   url  http   jcenter bintray com             and in gradle-wrapper properties      From         distributionUrl https    services gradle org distributions gradle-3 3-all zip   To        distributionUrl http    services gradle org distributions gradle-3 3-all zip     And then   -  optional   File - gt  Invalidate Caches   Restart  - Give a clean build    To verify    Check your Gradle console  It should start downloading libs from jcenter via HTTP

It usually happen when your have included the dependency and it won t have repository reference like mavenCentral   or jcenter   etc to download it  What I usually do identify such dependency is set gradle to work offline  Android studio will automatically show a dependency which is not locally available  then look for the dependency details in their providers github page like from which repository to pick from and update your repositories and sink it  Hope it will work

I had this problem today after upgrading to Android Studio 3 2 Beta 2   I had configured my JDK for OpenJDK 10 0 1  and it threw this error after upgrading   I set the JDK back to using the enbedded JDK  and the error went away   I have no idea why it worked fine before I upgraded to Beta 2  but all is good now   Honestly I guess there is no need for OpenJDK 10 for Android

I m in an enterprise environment with a proxy firewall virus-scanner combination adding the company own SSL root certificate  self signed  to the trustpath of every SSL connection to investigate also into SSL connections  That was exactly the problem  If you are in the same situation this solution could help    Open https   jcenter bintray com in the browser  I prefer Firefox  Click on the padlock symbold to check the certificated trustpath  If the top root certificate in the tree is a certficate signed by your company export it to your harddisk  To be safe export also every certificate in between Open the truststore of Android Studio in path JDKPATH jre lib security cacerts with the Keystore Explorer tool Keystore Exlorer with password  changeit  Import the exported certs into the trusstore starting with the root certificate of you company and go the step 6  In the most cases this will do the trick  If not  import the other certs as well step by step  Save the truststore Exit Android Studio with  File -  Invalidate Caches Restart

Even though this question is very old  many must be facing the same issue  so I would like to state how I fixed this   The problem is classpath  com android tools build gradle 0 13 2  By above line in build gradle you are asking it to find a particular version of gradle but this version is not there in your machine  The best it to change the above line to   classpath  com android tools build gradle
