Android Studio Error "Minimum supported Gradle version is 7.0.2. Current version is 6.8."

An error occurred after I downloaded version 6.8 and the latest version of Gradle.
A problem occurred evaluating project ':launcher'.
< Failed to apply plugin 'com.android.internal.version-check'.
<< Minimum supported Gradle version is 7.0.2. Current version is 6.8. If using the gradle wrapper, try editing the distributionUrl...
What do I have to do?
I'm attaching more details in the added pictures.

The error:
Minimum supported Gradle version is 7.0.2. Current version is 6.8.
Likely means:
Your "\gradle"-folder is missing from your project folder:
(Note: Not to be mistaken for the ".gradle"-folder which is a different folder)
Solution:
Get a copy of the "\gradle"-folder from another working project (or create a new project).
Or:
Your "\gradle\wrapper\gradle-wrapper.properties" has an incorrect value in the "distributionUrl=":
Solution:
Change the value in "\gradle\wrapper\gradle-wrapper.properties" to
distributionUrl=https\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-7.0.2-bin.zip
I hade the same problem after moving my project to another computer:
Minimum supported Gradle version is 7.0.2. Current version is 6.8.
Please fix the project's Gradle settings.
Gradle Settings.
Clicking on the "Gradle Settings"-link opened the Gradle settings Window, but the Gradle JDK was already correctly set to version 11:
So my next step was to check the Project Structure:
And update the Gradle Version to 7.0.2:
But that led to this error instead:
¤ What went wrong:
An exception occurred applying plugin request [id: 'com.android.application']
» Failed to apply plugin 'com.android.internal.version-check'.
» Minimum supported Gradle version is 7.0.2. Current version is 6.8. If using the gradle wrapper, try editing the distributionUrl in D:\Files\Code-Project\gradle\wrapper\gradle-wrapper.properties to gradle-7.0.2-all.zip
Now the error points me towards a problem within the "\gradle\wrapper\gradle-wrapper.properties"-file.
Looking into that I found out the real problem - the "\gradle"-folder was completely missing.
(Note: The "\.gradle"-folder is not the same as the "\gradle"-folder)
Copying the "\gradle"-folder from another project solved my problems.
Now my "\gradle\wrapper\gradle-wrapper.properties"-file looks like this:

Next update the Gradle Version in Android Studio select invalidate cache and restart solve the issue.
Go to Menu File->Invalidate cache..-> Invalidate and Restart.

Go to gradle wrapper properties
In the distribution url line change gradle version from 6.5 to 7.0.2 or the current version when you see this

The error says that the gradle version in your system is less than your project's gradle verion. That's the reason why it is unable to compile your project.
System gradle version < Project's gradle version
So there are 2 solutions here,
Change the distribution URL in the gradle-wrapper.properties file in the android/gradle/wrapper directory to distributionUrl=https\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-7.0.2-bin.zip.
Update your gradle plugin. If you use some environment variable, download the latest verion from Gradle | Manual Installation and replace it with your current one. Don't forget to update the path variable in system properties.

What is navigation.json in Android Studio 4.1?

I just tried out Android Studio 4.1 today. I started the Android Studio and created empty activity and I run it using the android virtual device. Then it was failed and this error is shown:
FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.
* What went wrong:
A problem was found with the configuration of task ':app:processDebugManifest' (type 'ProcessMultiApkApplicationManifest').
> File 'E:\Project\AndroidLayout\app\build\intermediates\merged_manifest\debug\out\AndroidManifest.xml' specified for property 'mainMergedManifest' does not exist.
When I rebuild the project, the error message is shown here:
FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.
* What went wrong:
Execution failed for task ':app:processDebugMainManifest'.
> com.android.manifmerger.ManifestMerger2$MergeFailureException: java.io.FileNotFoundException: E:\Project\AndroidLayout\app\build\intermediates\navigation_json\debug\navigation.json (The system cannot find the path specified)
Note that this is fresh install and fresh project without any modification in the code.

UPDATE 2:
After I downgrade the Android Gradle Plugin version from 4.1.0 to 4.0.2 and the Gradle version from 6.5 to 6.4.1 now it is working.
So my conclusion is there is a bug in the Android Gradle Plugin 4.1.+ and Gradle 6.5.+.

I find a temporary solution:

In order to downgrade, just go to File -> Project Structure.

Had same issue. Moving project files to ntfs drive fixed it.

Downgrading the Android Gradle Plugin version from 4.1.0 to 4.0.2 and the Gradle version from 6.5 to 6.4.1 now it is working; works for me as well. Now app is no longer experiencing building errors.Thanks.
Error message was :

File 'F:\NietsPastApp\app\build\intermediates\merged_manifest\debug\out\AndroidManifest.xml' specified for property 'mainMergedManifest' does not exist.

Thanks for help, downgrade it's ok. just for other who search the file :
gradle 4.0.2 change here : /build.gradle
dependencies {
classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:4.0.2'
// NOTE: Do not place your application dependencies here; they belong
// in the individual module build.gradle files
}
gradle 6.4.1 : gradle-wrapper.properties
distributionUrl=https\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-6.4.1-all.zip

File -> Project Structure. reduce your build tools version to 29
i tried it's work

In my case and for kotlin I have downgraded kotlin version from 1.4.32 to 1.4.31

ERROR: Gradle DSL method not found: 'freeImplementation()'

I had this error when I build and sync my old Android project on updated to the latest version of android studio.
ERROR: Gradle DSL method not found: 'freeImplementation()'
Possible causes:
The project 'Naqda_mobile' may be using a version of the Android Gradle plug-in that does not contain the method (e.g. 'testCompile' was added in 1.1.0).
Upgrade plugin to version 3.4.2 and sync project
The project 'Naqda_mobile' may be using a version of Gradle that does not contain the method.
Gradle settings
The build file may be missing a Gradle plugin.
Apply Gradle plugin

Android build improper gradle version

I am trying to build an android project from the command line.
I am following this tutorial
My project structure and files match the tutorial exactly.
When I run gradle build it tells me that version 2.2 of gradle is required, but I have a newer version of gradle installed, 2.10. So does that mean I must download an older version of gradle to build android?
* What went wrong:
A problem occurred evaluating root project 'GradleJavaApp'.
> Failed to apply plugin [id 'com.android.application']
> Gradle version 2.2 is required. Current version is 2.10. If using the gradle wrapper, try editing the distributionUrl in H:\GradleJavaApp\gradle\wrapper\gradle-wrapper.properties to gradle-2.2-all.zip

Don't use older version of Gradle! Stick to version 2.10 (or newer).
If you followed the tutorial thoroughly,
you probably used version 1.1.3 of Android build plugin:
buildscript {
…
dependencies {
classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:1.1.3'
}
}
Build plugin version 1.1.3 is terribly outdated from the view of Android development (released on March 2015 according to the release notes).
Change that to the latest version 2.1.0.
Gradle wrapper should then stop complaining about Gradle version and
you should be able to use Gradle 2.10 normally.
Also replace all mentions of Gradle 2.3 in the tutorial with version 2.10.

Getting error "Gradle version 1.10 is required. Current version is 1.12." when executing "gradle wrapper"?

I'm trying to execute gradle wrapper for an Android project, and this error is raised:
A problem occurred evaluating root project 'myapp'.
> Gradle version 1.10 is required. Current version is 1.12. If using the gradle wrapper, try editing the distributionUrl in /Users/dude/myapp/gradle/wrapper/gradle-wrapper.properties to gradle-1.10-all.zip
My wrapper task in build.gradle looks like this:
task wrapper(type: Wrapper) {
gradleVersion = "1.12"
}
I recently updated to Gradle v1.12 via Homebrew. Is it not supported or something? If so, where can I check this sort of thing?

A particular version of the Gradle Android plugin requires a particular version of Gradle (at least for now), and it seems that your version of the Gradle Android plugin requires Gradle 1.10. You might find more information on this in the documentation for the Gradle Android plugin.
PS: The wrapper task above creates the files necessary to run Gradle with the (generated) gradlew script, which is the preferred way to run Gradle (no manual install, every build can specify in its gradle-wrapper.properties which Gradle version it needs).

The version of Android gradle plugin needs to be compatible with the version of Gradle. Checkout the version compatibility mapping table here：

I had the same problem. It turned out that the old Android Studio created gradle related files one level above my application folder. In my case, the path was in ~/git/, and my project was at ~/git/myproject. I used Android Studio RC2 now, and no matter how I changed the config within the project, gradle still wanted to use the old 1.10 version. Therefore, I re-checked out the project a new path, and updated the gradle version reference within the project, then it compiled.
