Android Studio Gradle build error- Task :app:packageInstantRunResourcesDebug FAILED

I am new to android studio and Gradle. I have a project where I am loading a large SQLite database (from assets folder). When I press run and select an emulator, android studio starts on the build and executes gradle tasks. I am getting an error on one of these tasks which says:
Error:Execution failed for task ':app:packageInstantRunResourcesDebug'.
> org.gradle.tooling.BuildException (no error message)
and in the complete error output in console it says this:
FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.
* What went wrong:
Execution failed for task ':app:packageInstantRunResourcesDebug'.
> org.gradle.tooling.BuildException (no error message)
* Try:
Run with --stacktrace option to get the stack trace. Run with --info or
--debug option to get more log output.
* Get more help at https://help.gradle.org
BUILD FAILED in 21s
I don't know if this is due to the large database. This is the stack trace of the tasks being built:

You need to disable Instant Run feature. Instruction for latest stable Android Studio:

Compiling Component in React Native for Android

I am trying to port a functionality I have started and its working for React Native in iOS to Android.
The component is a Audio Sound waveform visualiser, which is working fine in iOS, but I'm finding an issue when I try to build the Android Studio project.
In the Gradle console it shows up:
Executing tasks: [:app:clean, :app:generateDebugSources, :app:generateDebugAndroidTestSources, :app:mockableAndroidJar, :app:prepareDebugUnitTestDependencies, :app:assembleDebug]
Configuration on demand is an incubating feature.
Incremental java compilation is an incubating feature.

For some reason it crashes in the Gradle task when executing

I've checked the https link manually and I can download the zip perfectly, so it may be the issue somewhere else.
Any help will be really appreciated.

Android Studio on Mac OS X, Gradle complaining about org.bouncycastle.asn1.ASN1Primitive

Recently migrated (or still trying to) from Eclipse ADT to Android Studio, here's what Gradle says when I hit `Run' (full trace below):
* What went wrong:
Execution failed for task ':app:packageDebug'.
> class org.bouncycastle.asn1.ASN1Primitive overrides final method equals.(Ljava/lang/Object;)Z
I've seen: Android Studio Bouncy castle issue (newbie), Problems launching error in Android Studio when packageDebug at Max OS X and similar SO posts that all point out to a bouncy castle JAR (bcprov-jdk15on-1.48.jar) that should be removed from the classpath. However I have no such JAR file there and it, in fact, Gradle itself seems to download it because the only place where I found it was:
/Applications/Android Studio.app/Contents/gradle/m2repository/org/bouncycastle/bcprov-jdk15on/
Trying to delete the file there, Gradle complains that a referenced library is missing.
Just how do I fix this?
