In Android Studio I get the same error as @tasomaniac when running `dependencyUpdates` from the Gradle tool window. But... *it works form command line*. \r\nRunning the task with `--info` shows that it doesn't look in jitpack.io for metadata, not sure why.\r\n\r\nAnother workaround I found is to add jitpack to the root build.gradle:\r\n```gradle\r\nallprojects {\r\n    repositories {\r\n        maven { url \"https://jitpack.io\" }\r\n    }\r\n}\r\n```\r\nThen it works from command line, the tool window and launch configuration.\r\n"}}
