Could not find com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.0.1

When I try to build my project with gradle wrapper I get this error:

./gradlew

FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

* What went wrong:
A problem occurred configuring project ':app'.

The same project builds OK in Android Studio.

I’ve already checked this and this but I’m using gradle wrapper version 4.1, have added google() repository and even tried setting android.enableAapt2=false. Any other tips? Thanks.

My root build.gradle file:

 // Top-level build file where you can add configuration options common to all sub-projects/modules.

buildscript {
    repositories {
        google()
        jcenter()
    }
    dependencies {
        classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.0.1'

        // NOTE: Do not place your application dependencies here; they belong
        // in the individual module build.gradle files
    }
}

allprojects {
    repositories {
        google()
        jcenter()
    }
}

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

My gradle-wrapper.properties file:

distributionBase=GRADLE_USER_HOME
distributionPath=wrapper/dists
zipStoreBase=GRADLE_USER_HOME
zipStorePath=wrapper/dists
distributionUrl=https\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-4.1-all.zip

UPDATE: Gabriele was right. I’d to add the repository also in the app/build.gradle file:

...
buildscript {
    repositories {
        google()
        jcenter()
    }
    dependencies {
        classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.0.1'
    }
}
...

I guess that I was confused with this stament “To add one of these libraries to your build, include Google’s Maven repository in your top-level build.gradle file” in here.
