Cannot Generate Cloud Backend In Android Studio

I am trying to generate a cloud backend using the 'google cloud tool' in android studio, however it gives the following errors: Failed to execute goal com.google.appengine:appengin

Solution 1:

So the templates in the cloud tools plugin use 1.8.0, these are not changeable. The problem as you have noticed is an incompatibility with Maven 3.1.1. If it is possible, you might try using maven 3.0.4/3.0.5 instead of 3.1.1 which are known to work with the plugin. The template is undergoing changes right now to address a couple of things (including the issue you are having), it will be updated in the future.
