Failed to apply 'io.fabric' plugin on Android

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.

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'

How include androidplot module in project

I am trying to implement the andoridplot library in my app. I have download sample code from the github.sample is working fine. But if I am trying to import androidplot-core as a module in my project, I get this error:
Plugin with id 'com.github.dcendents.android-maven' not found.
Please suggest the appropriate answer.

Most likely you need to add the following to your buildscript section of your gradle file:
buildscript {
repositories {
mavenCentral()
}
dependencies {
classpath 'com.github.dcendents:android-maven-gradle-plugin:1.5'
}
}
Just a note: The preferred way to include Androidplot is as a normal compile dependency in gradle, not as a module.

Could not find method android() for arguments

I've been trying to import a project to Android Studio and this is where I am stuck, there is a similar question on Stack Overflow but it did not provide a solution to my particular error.
This is my error log:
C:\<some location>\build.gradle
Error:(24, 1) A problem occurred evaluating root project '<project name>'.
> Could not find method android() for arguments [build_4fli1jm76ubcnxesnhqnhie47$_run_closure3#6e71db85] on root project '<project name>'.
Information:BUILD FAILED
The Gradle sync messages are:
Error:(24, 0) Gradle DSL method not found: 'android()' Possible
causes:The project 'PoojaPeople' may be using a version of
Gradle that does not contain the method. Gradle settingsThe build file
may be missing a Gradle plugin. Apply
Gradle plugin
I'm not too sure where exactly this method android() is located. If it is the one located in Application's build.gradle file, I still don't exactly know where to go from here. Any help is appreciated.
My build.gradle is
buildscript {
repositories {
maven { url "http://dl.bintray.com/populov/maven" }
mavenCentral()
}
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
}
}
allprojects {
repositories {
maven { url "http://dl.bintray.com/populov/maven" }
mavenCentral()
}
}
task clean(type: Delete) {
delete rootProject.buildDir
}
android {
compileSdkVersion 17
buildToolsVersion '23.0.0'
}
dependencies {
compile files('app/libs/junit-4.12-JavaDoc.jar')
}
apply plugin: 'maven'

You are using the wrong build.gradle file.
In your top-level file you can't define an android block.
Just move this part inside the module/build.gradle file.
android {
compileSdkVersion 17
buildToolsVersion '23.0.0'
}
dependencies {
compile files('app/libs/junit-4.12-JavaDoc.jar')
}
apply plugin: 'maven'

My issue was inside of my app.gradle. I ran into this issue when I moved
apply plugin: "com.android.application"
from the top line to below a line with
apply from:
I switched the plugin back to the top and violá
My exact error was
Could not find method android() for arguments [dotenv_wke4apph61tdae6bfodqe7sj$_run_closure1#5d9d91a5] on project ':app' of type org.gradle.api.Project.
The top of my app.gradle now looks like this
project.ext.envConfigFiles = [
debug: ".env",
release: ".env",
anothercustombuild: ".env",
]
apply from: project(':react-native-config').projectDir.getPath() + "/dotenv.gradle"
apply plugin: "com.android.application"

guys. I had the same problem before when I'm trying import a .aar package into my project, and unfortunately before make the .aar package as a module-dependence of my project, I had two modules (one about ROS-ANDROID-CV-BRIDGE, one is OPENCV-FOR-ANDROID) already. So, I got this error as you guys meet:
Error:Could not find method android() for arguments [org.ros.gradle_plugins.RosAndroidPlugin$_apply_closure2_closure4#7e550e0e] on project ‘:xxx’ of type org.gradle.api.Project.
So, it's the painful gradle-structure caused this problem when you have several modules in your project, and worse, they're imported in different way or have different types (.jar/.aar packages or just a project of Java library). And it's really a headache matter to make the configuration like compile-version, library dependencies etc. in each subproject compatible with the main-project.
I solved my problem just follow this steps:
① Copy .aar package in app/libs.
② Add this in app/build.gradle file:
repositories {
flatDir {
dirs 'libs' //this way we can find the .aar file in libs folder
}
}
③ Add this in your add build.gradle file of the module which you want to apply the .aar dependence (in my situation, just add this in my app/build.gradle file):
dependencies {
compile(name:'package_name', ext:'aar')
}
So, if it's possible, just try export your module-dependence as a .aar package, and then follow this way import it to your main-project. Anyway, I hope this can be a good suggestion and would solve your problem if you have the same situation with me.

This error appear because the compiler could not found "my-upload-key.keystore" file in your project
After you have generated the file you need to paste it into project's andorid/app folder
this worked for me!

Error:Plugin with id 'com.github.dcendents.android-maven' not found

I'm using this library in my Android app. (https://github.com/yazeed44/MultiImagePicker)
Before now, I was adding it to my project this way:
compile 'net.yazeed44.imagepicker:imagepicker:1.3.0'
The problem with importing it that way is, as far as I know, that I can't override any code because I'll lose all the changes after building the project again. (I need to change some code)
For that reason, I have downloaded the source code and I've imported the project as a module with this name: 'imagepicker'
After that, I added this line to my app build.gradle:
compile project(':imagepicker')
and this to my settings.gradle (Android Studio did it)
include ':app', ':imagepicker'
After doing that, I try to run the project and Android studio shows this error:
Gradle 'Project' project refresh failed
Error:Plugin with id 'com.github.dcendents.android-maven' not found.

Since you are using the module locally you have to add in your top-level build.gradle or in the imagepicker/build.gradle same config added in the imagepicker build.gradle project.
buildscript {
repositories {
jcenter()
}
dependencies {
//ADD THESE DEPENDENCIES
classpath 'com.jfrog.bintray.gradle:gradle-bintray-plugin:1.2'
classpath 'com.github.dcendents:android-maven-gradle-plugin:1.3'
}
}
An alternative can be modify the imagepicker/build.gradle removing the last 2 lines. But you have to test this way.
apply from: 'https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nuuneoi/JCenter/master/installv1.gradle'
apply from: 'https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nuuneoi/JCenter/master/bintrayv1.gradle'
If you check these files you will find the
apply plugin: 'com.github.dcendents.android-maven'
In your case you don't need these files because they are useful only to uplaod in a maven repo the aar file.

I added below code in Project:gradle.build file and its resolved the problem :
allprojects {
repositories {
jcenter()
maven {
url "https://repo.commonsware.com.s3.amazonaws.com"
}
}
}
EDIT
If you still facing after adding above maven dependencies
Change url "https://repo.commonsware.com.s3.amazonaws.com" to url "https://s3.amazonaws.com/repo.commonsware.com".

Missing main module in Android studio

I am trying to migrate my android app from eclipse to Android studio. (0.5.4)
The project has several dependencies. (Sherlock etc)
I exported the app to Gradle and imported it in Android studio and managed to get the project to build successfully.
It appears however that only the dependencies are built.
Adding erronous lines in the app code does not trigger compile errors.
When I view project | packages, the package for my app does not show, Only the external libraries are shown.
My root level build.gradle only contains repositories and dependencies:
buildscript {
repositories {
mavenCentral()
}
dependencies {
classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:0.9.2'
}
I tried manually adding an android section with the intent to make gradle look at the source files but I had problems adding the section:
buildscript {
repositories {
mavenCentral()
}
dependencies {
classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:0.9.2'
}
android {
compileSdkVersion 17
buildToolsVersion "19.0.2"
}
As i now get the following error
Could not find method android() for arguments xxx on root project 'zzz'.
If proceeded to add
apply plugin: 'android'
Just before the android section, but now I get
A problem occurred evaluating root project 'zzz'.
Plugin with id 'android' not found.
Can anyone shed some light as to why i cannot have an Android section at the root level.
If the problem lies somewhere else any help would also be much appreciated.
In case it is needed, here is my settings.gradle
include ':external:PullToRefresh:SmoothProgressBarLib'
include ':external:ActionBarSherlock'
include ':'
include ':external:pulltorefresh-abs'
include ':external:MyAwesomeLibrary'
include ':external:PullToRefresh:pulltorefresh'
include ':external:SherlockNavigationDrawer'
include ':external:sdk:MyAwesomeSDK'

You've included an android block inside a buildscript block in your top-level build file, but this is incorrect. Instead it should be structured like this:
buildscript {
repositories {
mavenCentral()
}
dependencies {
classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:0.9.2'
}
}
apply plugin: 'android'
repositories {
mavenCentral()
}
android {
compileSdkVersion 17
buildToolsVersion "19.0.2"
}
dependencies {
//Your app dependencies go here
}
All this is assuming that you truly have an Android application module at your project root (meaning that at your project root directory there's a src directory that has Android sources in it). It seems to be that you're trying to set it up this way because you also have this in your settings.gradle file:
include ':'
If that's the case, then rearranging your top-level build file as indicated above should fix it.
If you don't have a module at the project root, then you should restore the top-level build file to its original condition (take out apply plugin and android), take out that include ':' line from settings.gradle, and add an include statement that points to your application module.

In your settings.gradle file, I don't see where you included your main module. You should add:
include ':mainmodule-directory'
Your project should, ideally, have two build.gradle files. One at the root level, one at the module level. In your main module, you specify that the module is an Android module by adding apply plugin: android in the module's build.gradle file. Then you specify that the entire project would need the Android plugin by using the following in the root build.gradle file:
buildscript {
repositories {
mavenCentral()
}
dependencies {
classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:0.5.+'
}
}
