Android Jet Pack Jetifier: Cause: invalid literal/lengths set

I am unable to make the APK build. This started happening after I downgraded from Windows 10 to Windows 7 on only one project as of now. Other projects are working
fine. I tried to change Gradle class path version several times. I changed the Gradle wrapper versions as well.
Every time I get the following output:
Cause: invalid literal/lengths set.
I have also attached both build.gradle files with stacktrace file in the issue tracker:
Google Issue Tracker: My Issue
The log starts with: Failed to transform transport-runtime-2.2.1.aar and more. I was unable to find this error on Google.
MORE:
The following also produced sometimes:
Unable to load class 'butterknife.OnCheckedChanged'.
Possible causes for this unexpected error include:
Gradle's dependency cache may be corrupt (this sometimes occurs after a network connection timeout.)
Re-download dependencies and sync project (requires network)
The state of a Gradle build process (daemon) may be corrupt. Stopping all Gradle daemons may solve this problem.
Stop Gradle build processes (requires restart)
Your project may be using a third-party plugin which is not compatible with the other plugins in the project or the version of Gradle requested by the project.
In the case of corrupt Gradle processes, you can also try closing the IDE and then killing all Java processes.
I tried stopping the gradle build and re-downloading the dependencies using the links provided above, but nothing worked.
I also uninstalled and re-installed Android Studio. That didn't work as well.
I have removed butterknife library, but there are more sets of errors there in the build. Please see the link to Google Issue Tracker post above.

I had to update the following libraries to fix. One coroutine library was corrupted, so I had to delete and update the file in the .gradle/ root path location:
implementation "org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-stdlib-jdk8:$kotlin_version"
implementation "org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-reflect:$kotlin_version"
implementation 'androidx.core:core-ktx:1.5.0-alpha01'
implementation 'org.jetbrains.kotlinx:kotlinx-coroutines-core:1.3.0'

Gradle build process is failing

My project was successfully building and all of a sudden I got the below error in Android studio.
Unable to find method 'org.gradle.api.publish.maven.internal.publication.MavenPublicationInternal.getPublishableFiles()Lorg/gradle/api/file/FileCollection;'.

I tried clearing the local dependency cache and rebuilding the project. But still the error persists.
I am using android studio v4.0 with build tools v29.0.2.
Is it because gradle can't download the dependency from maven repo?
Is it because there is an error in configuring maven in my 'respositories' list?
How can I get more information on this error?

Try to update the com.jfrog.artifactory version.

My resolution for this was to update the artifactory version like #disha4mourya suggested - add this block to your project's build.gradle, directly after your buildscript block:
plugins {
id "com.jfrog.artifactory" version "4.18.3"
}

Gradle project sync failed after update - Unable to find method 'com.google.common.collect.ImmutableSet.toImmutableSet()Ljava/util/stream/Collector;'

I recently opened up an old project, updated Android Studio to 3.1.3, and am now unable to run the project. This is the message I receive:
Unable to find method 'com.google.common.collect.ImmutableSet.toImmutableSet()Ljava/util/stream/Collector;'.

This message is followed up by this one on the second attempt:
Could not initialize class com.android.build.gradle.internal.ide.ModelBuilder
Gradle Project sync failed
The gradle project sync keeps failing, I've tried all of these solutions below, including invalidating/restarting cache, deleting .gradle file, etc.
Unsuccessful solutions
I'm not an Android wiz, so if anyone can lead me in the right direction it would be greatly appreciated!

I suspect that this has to do with conflicts in Guava depending on the
Gradle version you use and the Guava version your dependencies use.
The function toImmutableList was added in Guava 21 (Guava 20).
I suggest you try downgrading the project's gradle version to 3.3 or so and try again.

Facing an error while building. Gradle may be corrupt

I'm getting the following error:
Error:org.gradle.api.internal.changedetection.state.OutputFilesCollectionSnapshotter$OutputFilesSnapshot cannot be cast to org.gradle.api.internal.changedetection.state.DefaultFileCollectionSnapshotter$FileCollectionSnapshotImpl

Can anyone tell me how to solve it?

Try this solution
1.delete {project dir}/.gradle/1.9
2.Sync Project with Gradle File
**
OR
**
If it doesn't work then try for this solution:
Clone project to a new folder
Remove .gradle, .idea folders
Add as a new project (File > Open > [new folder])

Same Here... follow work for me
After giving error"Re-download dependencies etc..." click on android monitor at bottom end
Click on "Please configure android SDK"
Click on Project at Left Side Menu
Give another Build Version and Build Version Name
Copy ***
build.gradle code from another successful project and paste"replace"
all in this error'd gradle and click sync
Gradle will start built... Successfully but time consumed

Gradle error after studio update

I've recently upgraded from 1.2.2 to 1.3.2 and was introduced with the following error:
Error:Unable to load class 'org.gradle.api.publication.maven.internal.DefaultMavenFactory'.
Possible causes for this unexpected error include:You are using JDK version 'java version "1.7.0_79"'. Some versions of JDK 1.7 (e.g. 1.7.0_10) may cause class loading errors in Gradle.
Please update to a newer version (e.g. 1.7.0_67).
Open JDK Settings

My project is using the SquiDB library if that matters, has anyone encountered similar error and could help me out how to fix it?

I don't know why but following has worked:
Open the Settings panel
Go to Build, Execution, Deployment > Build Tools > Gradle
On right in the form under the Project-level settings heading select Use default gradle wrapper (Recommended)
In my case I had selected Use local gradle distribution for some reason.
if you know the reason behind the issue and solution applied please add another answer with explanation and I will make it accepted.

if your gradle.properties file which is located at the root level of your project contains :
classpath 'com.github.dcendents:android-maven-plugin:1.2',
try to change to:
classpath 'com.github.dcendents:android-maven-gradle-plugin:1.3'
I solved the same problem in this way, and hope you will as well.
