Failed to resolve: com.google.android.gms:play-services-cast:9.8.00

android, android-gradle-plugin, android-studio, google-cast, google-play-services

Solution

Currently the dependency doesn't exist:

Use

com.google.android.gms:play-services-cast:9.6.1

instead of

com.google.android.gms:play-services-cast:9.8.00

EDIT:

Today (25/10/2016) is available in SDK Manager. Just update the SDK Manager and use:

com.google.android.gms:play-services-cast:9.8.0

Problem

I'm using Android Studio and have cloned the CastVideo v2 reference app and set it up with the CastCompanionLibrary as per its instructions. However, when I try to sync the gradle project, it says: `Failed to resolve: com.google.android.gms:play-services-cast:9.8.00`. I have the option to `Install Repository and sync project` but it does nothing. I have tried doing `Invalidate Caches / Restart...`, removing and reinstalling `Google Repository` and `Google Play services` with the SDK Manager, changing dependency version and renaming to `play-services-cast-framework`, with no success. My `build.gradle`s are unchanged from those in the repos. Does anyone know how to fix this? SO and Google searches have been unfruitful, as has reading other unresolved dependency questions.
