I create an app using flutter create --org com.myorganisation --project-name myProjectName myAppName. By default, at the time of writing, it generates a Flutter project with the native parts written in Kotlin and Swift.
Everything is going fine -- I can launch the default app in Android on a real device. Then I start to get Firebase set up in the project. Following the instructions at https://firebase.google.com/docs/flutter/setup, I modify the project level and app level build.gradle, and add the relevant plugins to pub spec.yaml.
With firebase_core installed, the Android app still launches, but as soon as I add firebase_analytics: ^5.0.6, it stops on launch with no information in the Debug console and the Dart Dev Tools unavailable.
Running the project in Android Studio, I find the error message
ERROR: The Android Gradle plugin supports only Kotlin Gradle plugin version 1.3.10 and higher.
The following dependencies do not satisfy the required version:
root project 'android' -> org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-gradle-plugin:1.2.71
So then going back into the project level build.gradle file, I changed
buildscript {
ext.kotlin_version = '1.2.71'
repositories {
google()
jcenter()
}
dependencies {
classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.5.2'
classpath "org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-gradle-plugin:$kotlin_version"
classpath 'com.google.gms:google-services:4.3.2'
}
}
to
buildscript {
ext.kotlin_version = '1.3.50'
repositories {
google()
jcenter()
}
dependencies {
classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.5.2'
classpath "org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-gradle-plugin:$kotlin_version"
classpath 'com.google.gms:google-services:4.3.2'
}
}
And that change allowed Firebase Analytics to work.
I just turned on an old computer and am trying to access some code. After updating all of my Android Studio, JDK, and Downloading the latest Gradle I am having trouble building the project. I get this error ;

Don't confuse gradle with the Android Gradle plugin.
classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:5.4.1'
It is the Android Gradle plugin and 5.4.1 doesn't exist.
Use the latest stable release:
classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.4.1'
Check the release notes for other versions.
If you open URL https://jcenter.bintray.com/com/android/tools/build/gradle, there is no 5.4.1.
For gradle version meanings, please check What is real Android Studio Gradle Version?.
For your case, you need to add google() repo in your buildscript closure and modify the android-gradle-plugin version to be 3.4.1
buildscript {
repositories {
google()// <-- add this.
jcenter()
}
dependencies {
classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.4.1'
}
And, also, probably, you need to update your allprojects closure as below:
allprojects {
repositories {
google()// <-- add this.
jcenter()
}
}
Edit #1
distributionUrl=https\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-5.4.1-all.zip
This is the wrapper configuration telling which gradle version to use for your android gradle plugin. It is NOT the plugin version.
I tried to add the Google location Service to my Android Project by referencing the official link.
As the tutorial said I added the following line to the dependencies section in the Project Gradle file.
implementation "com.google.android.gms:play-services-location:11.8.0"
But when i resynced the project i got the following error
Error:(19, 0) Could not find method implementation() for arguments [com.google.android.gms:play-services-location:11.8.0] on object of type org.gradle.api.internal.artifacts.dsl.dependencies.DefaultDependencyHandler.
Open File
I am using Android Studio 3.0.1 and Gradle Version 4.1.
How to overcome this error?
please try this
Add in Build.gradel at app lavel
dependencies {
Implementation 'com.google.android.gms:play-services:9.6.0'
}
apply plugin: 'com.google.gms.google-services
// Top-level build file where you can add configuration options common
to all sub-projects/modules.
buildscript {
repositories {
jcenter()
}
dependencies {
classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.0.0'
classpath 'com.google.gms:google-services:3.0.0'
// NOTE: Do not place your application dependencies here; they
belong
// in the individual module build.gradle files
}
}
allprojects {
repositories {
jcenter()
}
}
task clean(type: Delete) {
delete rootProject.buildDir
}
I think you have forgot to add maven repository in your app gradle file. Try by doing these steps. Open the build.gradle file for your application. Make sure that the repositories section includes a maven section with the "https://maven.google.com" endpoint. For example: allprojects {repositories {jcenter()maven {url "https://maven.google.com"}}}
Avoid using + in your dependencies as it android studio will try to update dependencies every 24 hours. Also replace compile by implementation for low APK size.
Edit 1:
As you told maven repository did not worked.
Check your project settings by going to Android Studio.
Click on file
click on project structure
There will option of Project in sidebar. Tap on it.
Check for the gradle and andrpid plugin version.
Put these values
Gradle Version - 4.1
Android plugin version - 3.0.1
Android Plugin Repository - jcenter,google()
Default Library Repository - jcenter, 'https://maven.google.com'
Reply me if it works
I'm getting this message:

Basically, I don't know how to update that com.android.application plugin.
I just needed to change the line
classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:2.0.0-alpha1'
to
classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:2.0.0-alpha3' in top build.gradle
I knew it was alpha3 because of the last release note http://tools.android.com/tech-docs/new-build-system.
Apparently, beta releases of the Gradle for Android plugin expire. AFAIK, that is not documented behavior. Right now, the only way that I know of to find out what the latest beta release is would be by monitoring http://tools.android.com/tech-docs/new-build-system. It actually shows a beta3; I had thought that the latest was beta2.
I was also facing the same problem.
I changed the gradle version from
classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:2.0.0-alpha1'
to
classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:2.1.0-rc1'
Since Android Studio is updated so from April 22 2016 it is the latest gradle version.
As of May 11 the stable gradle version is
classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:2.1.1'
Find latest version of the build system from [Android studio project site][1]
[1]: http://tools.android.com/tech-docs/new-build-system and update classpath accordingly. As of 2016/6/23, it is 2.2.0-alpha4. So, make it classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:2.2.0-alpha4on build.gradle file.
This is my first attempt at Android Studio. I installed 0.8.0 and updated to 0.8.2. As soon as a project is created I get the error message:
Error:(1, 0) Plugin with id 'com.android.application' not found

Updated Answer (Dec. 2, 2020)
Latest Gradle: 6.5
Version check:
./gradlew -v
How to update:
Set URL: ./gradlew wrapper --gradle-version=6.5 --distribution-type=all
Update: ./gradlew wrapper
Latest Android Gradle Plugin: 4.1.0
If you add the following code snippet to the top of your build.gradle file. Gradle will update the build tools.
buildscript {
repositories {
google() // For Gradle 4.0+
maven { url 'https://maven.google.com' } // For Gradle < 4.0
}
dependencies {
classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:4.1.0'
}
}
Read more here: https://developer.android.com/studio/build/index.html and about version compatibility here: https://developer.android.com/studio/releases/gradle-plugin.html#updating-gradle and https://dl.google.com/dl/android/maven2/index.html.
Original Answer
I had this same error, you need to make sure your Gradle version is compatible with your Android Gradle Plugin.
The latest version of Gradle is 2.0 but you need to use 1.12 in order to use the Android Gradle Plugin.
This can happen if you miss adding the Top-level build file.
Just add build.gradle to top level.
It should look like this
// Top-level build file where you can add configuration options common to all sub-projects/modules.
buildscript {
repositories {
mavenCentral()
}
dependencies {
classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:0.xx.y'
}
}
allprojects {
repositories {
mavenCentral()
}
}
In my case, I download the project from GitHub and the Gradle file was missing. So I just create a new project with success build. Then copy-paste the Gradle missing file. And re-build the project is working for me.
Root-gradle file:
buildscript {
repositories {
jcenter()
}
dependencies {
classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:x.x.x'
}
}
allprojects {
repositories {
jcenter()
}
}
Gradle-wrapper.properties file:
distributionBase=GRADLE_USER_HOME
distributionPath=wrapper/dists
zipStoreBase=GRADLE_USER_HOME
zipStorePath=wrapper/dists
distributionUrl=https\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-x.x-all.zip
In the project level build.gradle file, I have replaced this line
classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.6.3'
with this one
classpath 'com.google.gms:google-services:4.3.3'
After adding both of those lines, and syncing, everything became fine.
Hope this will help someone.
I am writing this not as a solution meant for many, but for some people who may commit a simple mistake like specifying the wrong url for importing projects from SVN. It is intended for those guys :)
This happened to me when I imported the project from SVN -> automatic prompt by Studio to open the project -> It asked for Gradle location -> D:\Software\Android\gradle-2.5 -> Then the error.
The same project in a different SVN branch works fine with the Gradle plugin and Gradle which I have configured in Studio. I tried changing Android Gradle plugin and Gradle to get it working on the erring branch without any success.
Finally, I figured out that it was my following mistake:
I tried importing a specific Application alone instead of importing the application along with dependent library projects.
The url which I used for import initially had the Application porject's name at the end. Once I removed it, and specified the parent directory which contained both application project and its dependent project, everything went smooth :)
I found the problem after one hour struggling with this error message:
I accidentally renamed the root build.gradle to filename in builde.gradle, so Android Studio didn't recognize it anymore.
Renaming it to build.gradle resolved the issue!
I still got the error
Could not find com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.0.0.
Problem: jcenter() did not have the required libs
Solution: add google() as repo
buildscript {
repositories {
google()
jcenter()
}
dependencies {
classpath "com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.0.0"
}
}
I was using IntelliJ IDEA 13.1.5 and faced with the same problem after I changed versions of Picasso and Retrofit in dependencies in build.gradle file. I tried use many solutions, but without result.
Then I cloned my project from remote git (where I pushed it before changing versions of dependencies) and it worked! After that I just closed current project and imported old project from Gradle file to IntelliJ IDEA again and it worked too! So, I think it was strange bug in intersection of IDEA, Gradle and Android plugin. I hope this information can be useful for IDEA-users or anyone else.
Go to your grade file where you can see this:
buildscript {
repositories {
jcenter()
}
dependencies {
classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:2.1.0'
// NOTE: Do not place your application dependencies here; they belong
// in the individual module build.gradle files
}
}
And change classpath to this:
buildscript {
repositories {
jcenter()
}
dependencies {
// classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:2.1.0'
classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle-experimental:0.7.0-alpha1'
// NOTE: Do not place your application dependencies here; they belong
// in the individual module build.gradle files
}
}
The other answers didn't work for me, I guess something wrong happens between ButterKnife and 3.0.0 alpha5.
However, I found that when I annotated any one sentence, either BUtterKnife or 3.0.0 alpha5, it works normally.
So, you should just avoid the duplication or conflict.
For future reference: For me, this issue was solely caused by the fact that I wasn't running Android Studio as administrator. I had the shortcut on Windows configured to always run as administrator, but after reinstalling Android Studio, the shortcut was replaced, and so it ran without administrator rights. This caused a lot of opaque errors, including the one in this question.
This issue happened when I accidently renamed the line
apply plugin: 'com.android.application'
on file app/build.gradle to some other name. So, I fixed it by changing it to what it was.
[FOR FLUTTER] go to your build Gradle then check if you have three paths
dependencies {
classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.5.0'
classpath 'com.google.gms:google-services:4.3.2'
classpath "org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-gradle-plugin:$kotlin_version"
}
I somehow removed the android tools classpath and was getting the error.
This just happened to me using Android Studio 1.3.2, however, since I had just created the project, I deleted it and created it again.
It seems that it had not been properly created by Android Studio the first time, not even the project folders where as expected.
If you run a the module task with android plugin 1.2.3 in module directory , the problem appears. Try this:
../gradlew -b ../build.gradle -c ../settings.gradle :module:xxx
Make sure your two build.gradle and settings.gradle files are in the correct directories as stated in https://developer.android.com/studio/build/index.html
Then open "as existing project" in Visual Studio
Gradle is very finicky about this.
I got this error message after making the following change in my top-level build.gradle to update to the latest version of gradle:
//classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:2.3.2' old
classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:2.3.3' //new
I foolishly made the change while I was connected behind a hostile workplace proxy. The proxy caused the .jar files for the new version of gradle to become corrupt. This can be verified by inspecting the jars to see if they are an unusual size or whether they can be unzipped.
In order to fix the mistake, I connected to my network at home (which is not behind a proxy) and did a refresh dependencies from the Terminal:
./gradlew --refresh-dependencies
This caused the newer version of gradle to be re-downloaded and the error no longer occurs.
Check the spelling, mine was 'com.android.aplication'
This may also happen when you have both settings.gradle and settings.gradle.kts files are present in project root directory (possibly with the same module included). You should only have one of these files.
i had similar problem and i did following things to resolve it.
i referred to https://developer.android.com/studio/build
and copy / pasted these following lines before apply plugin lines
repositories {
google()
jcenter()
}
dependencies {
classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:4.0.0'
}
}
module app build.gradle file
apply plugin: 'com.android.application'
model{
android {
compileSdkVersion 23
buildToolsVersion "23.0.2"
defaultConfig.with {
applicationId "com.iamsafe"
minSdkVersion 15
targetSdkVersion 23
}
buildTypes {
debug {
minifyEnabled = false
useProguard = true
proguardFiles.add(file('proguard-rules.txt'))
}
}
}
}
dependencies {
compile 'com.android.support:support-v4:23.0.2'
compile files('libs/asmack-android-8-0.8.10.jar')
compile files('libs/commons-io-2.0.1.jar')
compile files('libs/httpclient-osgi-4.2.1-sources.jar')
compile files('libs/httpcore-4.3.2.jar')
compile files('libs/httpmime-4.1.2.jar')
}
project build.gradle
// Top-level build file where you can add configuration options common to all sub-projects/modules.
buildscript {
repositories {
jcenter()
}
dependencies {
classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:2.10'
}
}
allprojects {
repositories {
jcenter()
}
}
In this case of issues check below code
dependencies {
classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:**1.5.0**'
}
and gradle-wrapper.properties inside your project directory check below disctributionUrl:
distributionUrl=https\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-2.9-all.zip
If these are not compatible with each other then you end up in this issue.
For com.android.tools.build:gradle:1.5. you need a version at least 2.8 but if you switch to a higher version like com.android.tools.build:gradle:2.1.0 then you need to update your gradle to 2.9 and above this can be done by changing distributionUrl in gradle-wrapper.properties to 2.9 or higher as below
distributionUrl=https\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-2.10-all.zip
If you work on Windows , you must start Android Studio name by Administrator.
It solved my problem
Just make sure you put the http and https proxy correctly when you create the app
