Original answer:

I too tried to change the support library to "23". When I changed the targetSdkVersion to 23, Android Studio reported the following error:

This support library should not use a lower version (22) than the targetSdkVersion (23)

I simply changed:

java
compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:23.0.0'

to

java
compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:+'

Although this fixed my issue, you should not use dynamic versions. After a few hours the new support repository was available and it is currently 23.0.1.


Pro tip:

You can use double quotes and create a ${supportLibVersion} variable for simplicity. Example:

java
ext {
    supportLibVersion = '23.1.1'
}

compile "com.android.support:appcompat-v7:${supportLibVersion}"
compile "com.android.support:design:${supportLibVersion}"
compile "com.android.support:palette-v7:${supportLibVersion}"
compile "com.android.support:customtabs:${supportLibVersion}"
compile "com.android.support:gridlayout-v7:${supportLibVersion}"
