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 ;
ERROR: Could not find com.android.tools.build:gradle:5.4.1.
Searched in the following locations:
- https://jcenter.bintray.com/com/android/tools/build/gradle/5.4.1/gradle-5.4.1.pom
- https://jcenter.bintray.com/com/android/tools/build/gradle/5.4.1/gradle-5.4.1.jar
Required by:
project :
Add Google Maven repository and sync project
Open File
I have dont this and this
Below is the content of build.gradle file
buildscript {
repositories {
jcenter()
}
dependencies {
classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:5.4.1'
}
}
Below is the content of wrapper file
distributionUrl=https\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-5.4.1-all.zip
in my settings I have toggled between default and setting my path manually. I have also attemted to add google() and MavenCentral() to the repositories
I just ant to build and run my app but it is saying no! haha help
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'm trying to add Firebase Crashlytics.
Firebase Crashlytics tutorial is very simple:
https://firebase.google.com/docs/crashlytics/get-started?authuser=0
I've already added repositories (in buildscript and in all projects), as well as classpath and implementation of dependency. All just like in the tutorial. But when I applying 'io.fabric' plugin (apply plugin: 'io.fabric') and pressing 'Sync' in Android Studio - next error is shown:
A problem occurred evaluating project ':app'.
> Failed to apply plugin [id 'io.fabric']
> No such property: verboseGradlePlugin for class: java.lang.String
I'm applying plugin after "apply plugin: 'com.android.application'".
Tried to add Fabric plugin to Android Studio - didn't help.
Tried all plugin versions down to 1.24.0. (Current is 1.25.4)
Invalidated caches and restarted Android Studio.
Tried to add 'fabric.properties' file to app folder as well as 'crashlytics.properties' file.
Tried to pass -DverboseGradlePlugin=false or with 'true' to gradle's 'build' task.
Gradle knows about 'io.fabric' plugin, but trying to find 'verboseGradlePlugin' property that is missing. I haven't found any info about such issue in the google.
Maybe someone already faced the same problem or have any suggestions how to solve this?
UPD:
My project-level build.gradle
My app-level build.gradle
Gradle version - 4.4
Android gradle plugin version - 3.1.2
Step1:
In your project level build.gradle add:
maven {
url 'https://maven.fabric.io/public'
}
NB:This addition should strictly be pasted inside your buildscript and not your allprojects gradle script as follows:
buildscript {
repositories {
jcenter()
google()
maven {
url 'https://maven.fabric.io/public'
}
}
Next,add your io.fabric tools into your dependencies in the same gradle(build.gradle)
dependencies {
classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.1.2'
classpath 'com.google.gms:google-services:3.2.1'
classpath 'io.fabric.tools:gradle:1.25.4'
}
As soon as this is done,Sync your gradle before moving onto the next step.You should have something like this for step1
Step2:In your app level build.gradle add
apply plugin: 'io.fabric'
And in your dependencies:
dependencies {
// ...
implementation 'com.crashlytics.sdk.android:crashlytics:2.9.3'
}
Now Sync again and Rebuild and Run your project.
NB:Sync right after manipulating the project level build.gradle before manipulating your app level.
More details here
I had exactly the same problem. The error is generated due to the extra property "crashlytics" in the project-level build.gradle, which generates a conflict.
Simply change the extra property "crashlitycs" to "crashlyticsVersion" or something similar and the error disappears.
I also recommend that you use the suffix "Version" in the extra properties to avoid similar errors.
In your project gradle you should put
buildscript {
repositories {
...
maven {url 'https://maven.fabric.io/public'}
}
...
}
Meanwhile in the app gradle file in the top
apply plugin: 'io.fabric'
and as dependencies
implementation 'com.crashlytics.sdk.android:crashlytics:2.9.3'
After downloaded and installed latest Kotlin plugin I have Outdated Kotlin Runtime warning from Android Studio that telling me:
Your version of Kotlin runtime in 'kotlin-stdlib-1.1.2' library is
1.1.2, while plugin version is 1.1.2-release-Studio2.3-3. Runtime library should be updated to avoid compatibility problems.
I tried to click Update Runtime button but getting another message:
Automatic library version update for Gradle projects is currently
unsupported. Please update your build.gradle manually.
How to solve this issue?
In your (Project: [projectName]) build.gradle file find this:
ext.kotlin_version = 'x.x.x' and replace x.x.x with the current version of your Kotlin plugin.
In order to check which is the current version of your Kotlin plugin:
Go to: Tools -> Kotlin -> Confugure Kotlin Plugin Updates
Click "Check again". After a second you will see the version of your Kotlin plugin. (If not up to date, your Kotlin plugin will be updated.)
N.B.: Also check your (Module: app) build.gradle file and assure that you do not use:
compile "org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-stdlib-jre7:1.2.21"
but
compile 'org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-stdlib-jdk7:1.2.40'
Note the difference "...jre7..." -> "...jdk7...". Also replace "1.2.40" with your current Kotlin plugin version.
You can update your Kotlin version in your project level build.gradle file. If you have it configured the usual way, you should have the following line in it around the top:
ext.kotlin_version = '1.1.2'
To upgrade to the version matching your plugin, simply change this line to:
ext.kotlin_version = '1.1.2-3'
Edit (to respond to a question below):
The error tells you that you need to upgrade your version, the question is where to find out that you have to put in 1.1.2-3 instead of saying, for example, 1.1.2-release-Studio2.3-3.
The best way to find out the latest version of Kotlin is by going to kotlinlang.org and looking for "Latest version". Should be right there on the front page.
Another thing to do if the version number is non-trivial like this is to check the repositories where the versions are hosted. In the case of Android, you'll probably be getting it from jcenter, for which you can find the repository page, which has all the available versions listed.
You can also browse the raw maven repository of jcenter where the files are actually hosted by going here, or look up Kotlin either on mvnrepository or on mavencentral (raw version of the latter here).
it complained (on Android Studio 3.0.1) ...most likely because of referenced libraries' dependencies:
Your version of Kotlin runtime in 'org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-stdlib:1.1.3#jar' library is 1.1.3, while plugin version is 1.1.51-release-Studio3.0-1.
then I've enforced building against the version it demanded, in the module level build.gradle:
configurations.all() {
resolutionStrategy.force 'org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-stdlib:1.1.51'
}
and the result is:
./gradlew app:dependencies | grep kotlin
Download https://jcenter.bintray.com/org/jetbrains/kotlin/kotlin-stdlib/1.1.51/kotlin-stdlib-1.1.51.pom
| | +--- org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-stdlib:1.1.3 -> 1.1.51
...
There are two pieces you may want to update:
kotlin runtime for the project
kotlin plugin
The answer by Ivo Stoyanov shows how to do this using the android studio menus. When I got the error message and tried this (updating the kotlin plugin) alone, it still complained about the kotlin runtime. You can update that on a project by project basis, by adding the line on ext.kotlin_version to the project build gradle, as some of the other answers indicate. But you'll need to know the kotlin runtime version for that. Alternatively, you can also do it through the menus, as I show here below, with the bonus that android studio shows you the available versions, and you can pick the most recent.
And then android studio will add in the appropriate line in your project build gradle.
changing your ext.kotlin_version from '1.1.2-4'to ext.kotlin_version = '1.1.2-5' solved the problem for me
the latest version of kotlin is 1.2.41 use this and syn your project.
buildscript {
ext.kotlin_version = '1.2.41'
repositories {
google()
jcenter()
}
dependencies {
classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.1.2'
classpath "org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-gradle-plugin:$kotlin_version"
// NOTE: Do not place your application dependencies here; they belong
// in the individual module build.gradle files
}
}
As of March 8, 2019 the current kotlin version is '1.3.21'
Under build.gradle
buildscript {
ext.kotlin_version = '1.3.21'
repositories {
google()
jcenter()
}
dependencies {
classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.3.2'
classpath "org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-gradle-plugin:$kotlin_version"
// NOTE: Do not place your application dependencies here; they belong
// in the individual module build.gradle files
}
cheers
This issue comes when you update the kotlin plugin version popped up from android studio, but issue is current version of Android studio is not able to dynamically change the kotlin gradle plugin which is located in your project level Build.gradle file.
dependencies {
classpath "org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-gradle-plugin:1.2.10"
}
How to solve this issue?
So you need to manually change this version, You can find that Here
I've run into this issue a few times in Android Studio and IDEA, found that if you go into your projects Gradle file and in your dependencies if you set the version of the kotlin-gradle-plugin to $kotlin_version then the warning message will tell you what version you need to set ext.kotlin_version to.
buildscript {
ext.kotlin_version = '1.2.40'
repositories {
google()
jcenter()
}
dependencies {
classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.1.2'
classpath "org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-gradle-plugin:$kotlin_version"
// NOTE: Do not place your application dependencies here; they belong
// in the individual module build.gradle files
}
}
buildscript {
ext.kotlin_version = '1.2.50'
repositories {
google()
jcenter()
}
dependencies {
classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.1.2'
classpath "org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-gradle-plugin:$kotlin_version"
// NOTE: Do not place your application dependencies here; they belong
// in the individual module build.gradle files
}
}
search for these two lines of code
ext.kotlin_version = '1.3.11'
classpath "org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-gradle-plugin:$kotlin_version"
replace $kotlin_version with actual value (here it's 1.3.11)
classpath "org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-gradle-plugin:1.3.11"
after this your IDE will automatically suggest you the updated version
happy coding :)
Kotlin newest version:
buildscript {
ext.kotlin_version = '1.2.41'
repositories {
google()
jcenter()
}
dependencies {
classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.0.1'
classpath "org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-gradle-plugin:$kotlin_version"
classpath 'com.github.dcendents:android-maven-gradle-plugin:1.5'
classpath 'com.google.gms:google-services:1.5.0-beta2'
// NOTE: Do not place your application dependencies here; they belong
// in the individual module build.gradle files
}
}
Bit annoying but studio acts like it some times. Below steps can fix the issue.
Go to
Settings -> Build, Execution, Development -> Gradle -> Use default gradle wrapper(recommended)
change this to Use local and back to Use default. Studio will ask about updating gradle after closing the settings windows.
I was facing same problem after updation my android studio from 3.0.1 to 3.2.1.My problem was solved after using this.
buildscript {
ext.kotlin_version = '1.2.51'
repositories {
google()
jcenter()
mavenCentral()
maven { url "https://jitpack.io" }
}
dependencies {
classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.2.1'
classpath "org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-gradle-plugin:$kotlin_version"
// NOTE: Do not place your application dependencies here; they belong
// in the individual module build.gradle files
}
}
I had faced this issue on latest Android Studio from Canary channel. You might want to consider downgrading Android Studio to stable version as well.
It happened for me on Android Studio 3.0 RC1.
I'm getting this message:
Plugin is too old, please update to a more recent version,
or set ANDROID_DAILY_OVERRIDE environment variable to

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
