Android Studio / Intellij, Gradle Error:Cause: peer not authenticated

Change your repositories syntax in build.gradle as following. See following question.

repositories {
    jcenter {
        url "http://jcenter.bintray.com/"
    }
}

I've fixed this issue by adding the following to my build.gradle:

repositories { 
        maven { 
            url 'http://repo1.maven.org/maven2'; 
        } 
} 

Once done, try syncing and rebuilding your project. Hope this was helpful.


you should import the certificate:

First of all download the certificate (.cer) from this url, Help is here

Copy it to the path JDK_HOME/jre/lib/security

Then with command prompt targeted to above location, run the following command:

keytool -import -alias git -file <cert_file_name_you_exported.cer> -keystore cacerts -storepass changeit

Type yes if it prompts for approval, after that open the desired IDEA and have fun :)

If this doesn't help, try importing the certificate to JRE/lib/security/cacerts, It's totally depend on the build path of the IDEA you are using
