Unsupported method: AndroidArtifact.getBuildConfigFields()

I have just updated to Android Studio 4.0 and trying to build my project. I keep on getting the below error
Unsupported method: AndroidArtifact.getBuildConfigFields().
The version of Gradle you connect to does not support that method.
To resolve the problem you can change/upgrade the target version of Gradle you connect to.
Alternatively, you can ignore this exception and read other information from the model.
I am already using the latest version of Gradle and Gradle Plugin
Gradle version:
distributionUrl=https\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-6.5-milestone-1-all.zip
Gradle plugin tools version:
classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:4.1.0-alpha10'
Any solution or fix for this problem would be helpful. Thanks in advance.

Use Android studio 4.1 preview
or
classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:4.0.0'

This is usually due to a mismatch between your Android Studio versions and the Android Gradle plugin.
You can find the version of Android Studio on the project selection window when you first open it (or in "Android Studio > About Android Studio" on Mac, and similar location on other platforms). For example, you might be using Android Studio 4.0.1.
You can find the Android Gradle plugin version for your project in the top-level build.gradle file.
You should find something like the following:
buildscript {
[...]
dependencies {
classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:4.0.1'
[...]
}
[...]
}
You need to make sure that the two version numbers match (in this case they do).

Old version of gradle is required error

I had a three year old Android Studio which I just upgraded to the latest version(3.2).
I opened a project and tried to run it, but I got this error:
Gradle project sync failed. Basic functionality (e.g. editing, debugging) will not work properly.
Then, I saw this in gradle-wrapper.properties:
distributionUrl=https\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-2.2-all.zip
From what I understand Gradle 2.2 is not compatible with Android Studio 3.2.
distributionUrl=https\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-4.9-all.zip
Now however, if I try building again, I get this error:
Gradle version 2.2 is required. Current version is 4.9.
Why does it ask me for an old version of Gradle?

There are TWO places to be aware of:
Android Gradle Plugin version.
Android wrapper version and Gradle version
Each version of Android Gradle Plugin version requires a minimum version of gradle version. For your case, it looks these two versions are not in sync. So, try to modify your files as below:
Top level build.gradle
buildscript {
repositories {
...
}
dependencies {
// This is the Android Gradle Plugin version
classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.1.3'
}
}
gradle-wrapper.properties
distributionUrl=https\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-4.9-all.zip

Android studio doesn't support that version unfortunately. My advice is using 4.4, that's last full supported version.

Failed to sync Gradle project - Android Studio 2.2

I've recently updated to Android Studio 2.2 and changed Gradle plugin version to 2.2.0 com.android.tools.build:gradle:2.2.0.
Now I'm getting the following error when trying to sync Gradle files:
Gradle sync failed: Unable to load class
'com.android.builder.profile.Recorder$Property'.
If I change Gradle plugin version to 2.1.3, the problem disappears. How I can use the latest version 2.2.0?
P.S. I'm also using gradle-experimental for NDK support - com.android.tools.build:gradle-experimental:0.7.3

I solved the problem by updating gradle-experimental to version 0.8.0 :)
classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:2.2.0'
classpath "com.android.tools.build:gradle-experimental:0.8.0"
hope this will fix it for you too and will not generate new errors!

Unsupported method: InstantRun.getRestartDexFile() - Android Studio

I have Android Studio 2.0 Beta 6
and the Gradle version in build.gradle is classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:2.1.0-beta1'
(I updated it today only, earlier I was at gradle:2.0.0-alpha9).
Now when I try to Run my app I keep getting this Message.
UnsupportedMethodException
Unsupported method: InstantRun.getRestartDexFile().
The version of Gradle you connect to does not support that method.
To resolve the problem you can change/upgrade the target version of Gradle you connect.
Alternatively, you can ignore this exception and read other information from the model.
Everything was running fine before the upgrade (including Instant Run).
Please help.

I am posting this as an answer because this solved the problem for me.
I changed the classpath in build.gradle to
classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:2.1.0-alpha3
I did not change anything else/any setting at all, neither did I updated my Android Studio.
Link to the page where I found it.
Had to search a lot. :)
Edit:
Alternatively as pointed out by others,
1. You can either try Upgrading Your Android Studio to 2.1.0 (OR)
2. You can try changing the classpath in build.gradle to
classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:2.1.0

I ran into the same exception
Alternatively, you can ignore this exception and read other
information from the model.
It says there is an alternative solution, so what should we do to ignore this exception ?
OK, upgrading the Android Studio will solve the problem.

I get the trouble on Android 2.1 preview 5.I changed the classpath in build.gradle to
classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:2.0.0'

update the studio to 2.1.0 , will solve your problem

first i have android 2.1 and i have set
then i have set
i also getting that error Unsupported method: InstantRun.getRestartDexFile() - Android Studio
then
Step 1
i have updated android to 2.2 and get that error Unsupported method: AndroidProject.getPluginGeneration() while running project to fix that issue do that
Step 2
refer link -Unsupported method: AndroidProject.getPluginGeneration() while running project
disable instant run Windows & Linux:
Linux:
File -> Settings -> Build, Execution, Deployment -> Instant Run.
Mac:
Android Studio -> Preferences -> Build, Execution, Deployment -> Instant Run.
finally fixed all things and i have successfully run my project.

The problem solved by using:
classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:2.1.0-alpha3'
classpath 'com.google.gms:google-services:2.1.0-alpha3'

Fix Plugin Version and Sync Project

I have recently updated my Android Studio.
After updating it, When I am trying to import or open a project it gives me following error :
Gradle Sync Issue
Error:Error:Gradle 2.4 requires Android Gradle plugin 1.2.0 (or newer) but project is using version 1.1.0.
Please use Android Gradle plugin 1.2.0 or newer.
Fix plugin version and sync project
Is there any solution for this problem ?

In your build.gradle you should use a newer version of the gradle plugin.
Use classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:1.3.1'instead of classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:1.1.0'. Or at least 1.2.0, as the error points out.

change in your progect build.gradle file
dependencies {
classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:1.2.3'
}

As Android Studio was just officially updated to 1.3 (Gradle as well).
Please Change gradle version to 1.3.+ in build.gradle . It should now look like this:
dependencies {
classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:1.3.+'
// in the individual module build.gradle files
}

I met this question,too. Modifying dependencies stuff is confuse me. From#Mykaelos answer, For Windows Android Studio, Go into File > Settings > "Build, Execution, Deployment" > "Build Tools" > Gradle and change it to "Use default gradle wrapper (recommended)", I tried it in early hours, and it works for me.
