I have the same problem。 Here's how I did it:

//Comment the following code from settings.gradle:
/*pluginManagement {
    repositories {
        gradlePluginPortal()
        google()
        mavenCentral()
    }
}*/
dependencyResolutionManagement {
    repositoriesMode.set(RepositoriesMode.FAIL_ON_PROJECT_REPOS)
    repositories {
        google()
        mavenCentral()
    }
}

Modify the buildScript node in build.gradle in the project root directory:

buildscript {
    ext {
        kotlin_version = '1.6.10'
        compose_version = '1.0.5'
    }
    repositories {
        google()
        mavenCentral()
        gradlePluginPortal()
    }
    dependencies {
        classpath "com.android.tools.build:gradle:7.1.1"
        classpath "org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-gradle-plugin:$kotlin_version"
    }
}

task clean(type: Delete) {
    delete rootProject.buildDir
}

Add the buildscript in your build.gradle (project module)

  buildscript {

    repositories {
        google()
        mavenCentral()
    }
    dependencies {

        
        classpath 'your dependecy path'

    }
}

plugins {
    id 'com.android.application' version '7.1.1' apply false
    id 'com.android.library' version '7.1.1' apply false
    id 'org.jetbrains.kotlin.android' version '1.5.30' apply false
}


task clean(type: Delete) {
    delete rootProject.buildDir
}

This happens to me with AS Bumblebee when I add a new module to my project. It adds these two lines to my project-level build.gradle in the plugins block:

    id 'com.android.library' version '7.1.1' apply false
    id 'org.jetbrains.kotlin.android' version '1.6.10' apply false

I removed them to fix the error.

Please check your JDK version. At least your JDK version must be 11 Then restart Android studio Check this link for more information: https://developer.android.com/studio/releases/gradle-plugin#jdk-11

It happened to me when I was trying to open a new project with a preset .gitignore and README.md files from github. AS Bumblebee gave an error also while doing the first sync. I tried couple of times with fresh install too. Same result.

I moved all files (including hidden .git folder) to temp another folder. Created new project into same folder and moved preset files/folders back.

You can check the idea.log. this problem is caused by the network problem. Some areas cannot link to the newest gradle repository. If you want to solve this problem, change your network which can get connect with https://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-7.2-bin.zip.

If You use Android studio default configuration try change the order of the repositories. Like:

pluginManagement {
    repositories {
        mavenCentral()
        gradlePluginPortal()
        google()
    }
}
dependencyResolutionManagement {
    repositoriesMode.set(RepositoriesMode.FAIL_ON_PROJECT_REPOS)
    repositories {
        mavenCentral()
        google()
    }
}

Or

pluginManagement {
    repositories {
        google()
        mavenCentral()
        gradlePluginPortal()
    }
}
dependencyResolutionManagement {
    repositoriesMode.set(RepositoriesMode.FAIL_ON_PROJECT_REPOS)
    repositories {
        google()
        mavenCentral()
    }
}

Or just try to take this in diffrent order. Kinda funny but in many cases it has worked for me.
