Android Studio keeps saying the sync failed, `./gradlew build` runs fine

I don't usually work on Android codebases so this might be a stupid question. ./gradlew build runs just fine, but Android Studio keeps complaining that the sync failed:

> Task :prepareKotlinBuildScriptModel UP-TO-DATE
Unexpected exception while resolving Gradle distribution sources: Dependency verification failed for configuration 'detachedConfiguration1'
One artifact failed verification: gradle-9.2.1-src.zip (gradle:gradle:9.2.1) from repository Gradle distributions
If the artifacts are trustworthy, you will need to update the gradle/verification-metadata.xml file. For more on how to do this, please refer to https://docs.gradle.org/9.2.1/userguide/dependency_verification.html#sec:troubleshooting-verification in the Gradle documentation.

verification-metadata.xml seems to assume I use Gradle 8.13.1 so I have the impression there's a mixup.

What's a normal dev setup for GrapheneOS Camera? Do I need a specific version of certain development tools, do I need specific config? Is Android Studio supported at all?

Gradle verification metadata is OS family specific. We use Linux for development so we only include the verification metadata for Linux. If you want to use macOS or Windows, you need to either remove gradle/verification-metadata.xml or extend it by running ./gradlew build --write-verification-metadata sha512. Gradle's generation of the verification metadata is non-deterministic based on what it has cached already and we remove the legacy entries rather than indefinitely extending it. It's not possible for us to reasonably maintain support for verification metadata for macOS and Windows because it will get removed as part of cleanly generating it and we cannot generate the updated metadata ourselves.

I am on Linux though :)

It may be caused by your Gradle configuration or other local environment specific things. The fetched dependencies by Gradle are non-deterministic based on environment so the required verification metadata is non-deterministic. What you currently have cached in the Gradle cache impacts what's required for the verification metadata. It's not something we can solve, it's a Gradle issue. Having a separate Gradle environment for every project and not mixing it together avoids a lot of issues.
