When trying to build an Android app, I am getting the following error. The interesting thing is that the exact same source code builds correctly on another computer, which makes me think that maybe the Gradle version or something like that may be the root cause. Any hints?
Execution failed for task ':app:preDebugBuild'.
> Could not resolve all files for configuration ':app:debugCompileClasspath'.
> Could not resolve com.android.support:support-v4:[21,22).

Run with --info or --debug option to get more log output. Run with --scan to get full insights.
* Exception is:
org.gradle.api.tasks.TaskExecutionException: Execution failed for task ':app:preDebugBuild'.

>Solution :
The problem is:
Could not resolve com.android.support:support-v4:[21,22).
That library is rather old. The reason why it builds on your other machine is that you downloaded that artifact some time ago and it is still cached on that machine.
Make sure that your dependencies closures all have google() among their repositories:
repositories {
google()
mavenCentral()
}
