Why can I not import Appium if it's in my Gradle dependencies?

Question

I am using Intellij Community Edition with Gradle for the build.

here is my build.gradle deps:

dependencies {
    testCompile group: 'junit', name: 'junit', version: '4.+'
    testCompile 'info.cukes:cucumber-java:1.2.4', 'info.cukes:cucumber-junit:1.2.4'
    classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:1.3.0'
    classpath 'com.amazonaws:aws-devicefarm-gradle-plugin:1.2'
    compile 'io.appium:java-client:4.0.0'
    classpath "io.qameta.allure:allure-gradle:<latest>"
}

When I try to do import any of the appium stuff from io. Intellij says it isn't there. Even stranger in wy External Libraries there are numerous Gradle: libraries, but no Library for Appium.

I suppose Appium isn't a library, but I have tried both complie and testCompile and with neither one can I import any appium namespaces.

import io.appium.java_client.functions.AppiumFunction;
import org.openqa.selenium.support.ui.ExpectedCondition;

these come up as not found in both my src and test folders. On the other hand I can import cucumber no problem.

import cucumber.api.junit.Cucumber;
import org.junit.runner.RunWith;

the 2 above work and intellij will compile with them.

I'm using this dependency in my test and it works fine. Could you please try the below. Make sure you rebuild the project after changing the dependency

dependencies{
  // https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/io.appium/java-client
  compile group: 'io.appium', name: 'java-client', version: '5.0.4'
}
