Error:Failed to resolve: com.squareup.sdk

Question

So I'm trying to set up the Square Reader SDK through android studio, and I run across this error when trying to complete the 3rd step in "Configure the build dependencies"

I'm following through the Square Reader SDK docs at https://docs.connect.squareup.com/payments/readersdk/build-on-android#step-2-configure-your-android-project-for-reader-sdk

My app-level build.gradle file for reference:

    apply plugin: 'com.android.application'

android {
    compileSdkVersion 26
    defaultConfig {
        applicationId "com.cedarrobots.cedarrestaurants3"
        minSdkVersion 21
        targetSdkVersion 26
        multiDexEnabled true
        versionCode 1
        versionName "1.0"
        testInstrumentationRunner "android.support.test.runner.AndroidJUnitRunner"
    }
    buildTypes {
        release {
            minifyEnabled false
            proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
        }
    }
    dexOptions {
        // Ensures incremental builds remain fast
        preDexLibraries true
        // Required to build with Reader SDK
        jumboMode true
        // Required to build with Reader SDK
        keepRuntimeAnnotatedClasses false
    }
}

dependencies {
    implementation fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])

    def readerSdkVersion = "1.2.1"
    implementation "com.squareup.sdk.reader:reader-sdk-$SQUARE_READER_SDK_APPLICATION_ID:$readerSdkVersion"
    runtimeOnly "com.squareup.sdk.reader:reader-sdk-internals:$readerSdkVersion"

    implementation 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:27.1.1'
    implementation 'com.android.support.constraint:constraint-layout:1.1.2'
    implementation 'com.android.support:cardview-v7:27.1.1'
    implementation 'com.android.support:recyclerview-v7:27.1.1'
    implementation 'com.google.firebase:firebase-database:16.0.1'
    implementation 'com.google.firebase:firebase-auth:16.0.1'
    compile 'com.github.siyamed:android-shape-imageview:0.9.+@aar'
    compile 'com.firebaseui:firebase-ui-database:1.1.1'
    compile 'com.google.firebase:firebase-core:16.0.1'
    compile 'com.squareup.picasso:picasso:2.5.2'
    testImplementation 'junit:junit:4.12'
}

apply plugin: 'com.google.gms.google-services'

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Edit: I'm getting a new error:

    Error:Could not resolve all files for configuration ':app:debugCompileClasspath'.

It looks like your app-level build.gradle isn't looking in the Square repository for the Reader SDK artifact.

I commented out the Square repository from the Reader SDK Quick Start Sample Android App and got the same error.

ERROR: Failed to resolve: com.squareup.sdk.reader:reader-sdk-...

Fix

Between the android {} and dependencies {} blocks in your app-level build.gradle file, add the Square repository.

android {
 // ...
}

repositories {
  google()
  maven {
    url "https://sdk.squareup.com/android"
    credentials {
      username SQUARE_READER_SDK_APPLICATION_ID
      password SQUARE_READER_SDK_REPOSITORY_PASSWORD
    }
  }
  jcenter()
}

dependencies {
  // ...
}

Remove the `{` and `}` from where you set your application ID. Instead of `{sq0idp-0alGJZsc2rS5fTIOTkPLsA}`, it should be `sq0idp-0alGJZsc2rS5fTIOTkPLsA`. – Salvatore Testa Mar 23 '19 at 08:42

In my case, it was the version number that did the trick. Official Reader SDK docs are currently suggesting the version number "1.4.2", and I had the same error trying to configure the dependencies, even with the fix above.

I ended up logging in on https://sdk.squareup.com/android with my Reader SDK credentials and looking up the version number under com/squareup/sdk/reader/reader-sdk-SQUARE_READER_SDK_APPLICATION_ID.

As it turns out, the only available version I found was 1.4.3.

So if your version numbers don't match, just change the one in your build.gradle file to whatever version you found in the link.

The above answers did not work for me.

When I downloaded their sample app located here, it actually has the version number defined as:

def readerSdkVersion = "1.4.+"

Switching it from the documentation-defined 1.4.2 to that worked just fine so I think it is some versioning issue on Square's end.
