Gradle error: 'Could not find lint-gradle-api.jar'

[cheesegrits]

I think this is an Android Studio version thing, I have 3.2. The Gradle build failed with:

gradle error: 'Could not find lint-gradle-api.jar'

The fix was to add / move google() to be first in the buildscript and allprojects repositories in build.gradle
