Deprecated Gradle features were used in this build after setting target api to 31 [duplicate]

I've got a gradle FAILURE:
..."Deprecated Gradle features were used in this build, making it incompatible with Gradle 5.0."
Case description:
Attached to the project codebase the next libs:
APP/build.gradle
//(Required) Writing and executing Unit Tests on the JUnit Platform
testImplementation "org.junit.jupiter:junit-jupiter-api:5.2.0"
testRuntimeOnly "org.junit.jupiter:junit-jupiter-engine:5.2.0"
// (Optional) If you need "Parameterized Tests"
testImplementation "org.junit.jupiter:junit-jupiter-params:5.2.0"
// (Optional) If you also have JUnit 4-based tests
testImplementation "junit:junit:4.12"
testRuntimeOnly "org.junit.vintage:junit-vintage-engine:5.2.0"
testImplementation "io.mockk:mockk:1.8.5"
Updated the gradle-wrapper.properties
distributionUrl=https....gradle-4.4-all.zip to 4.7-all
after all of that gradle was built success
created the test calss
#TestInstance(TestInstance.Lifecycle.PER_CLASS)
class TestClass {
#Test
internal fun testName() {
Assert.assertEquals(2, 1 + 1)
}
}
ran the test and got the FAILURE message.
ran the Gradle build with a command line argument ./gradlew --warning-mode=all to see what exactly the deprecated features are.
As a result I couldn't build the app and I've got that FAILURE: message.

Run the Gradle build with a command line argument --warning-mode=all to see what exactly the deprecated features are.
It will give you a detailed description of found issues with links to the Gradle docs for instructions how to fix your build.
Adding --stacktrace to that, you will also be able to pinpoint where the warning comes from, if it's triggered by outdated code in one of the plugins and not your build script.

Try this one
cd android && ./gradlew clean && ./gradlew :app:bundleRelease

The process below worked in my case-
First check Gradle Version:
cd android
./gradlew -v
In my case it was 6.5
Go to https://developer.android.com/studio/releases/gradle-plugin and you'll get the plugin version for your gradle version. For gradle version 6.5, the plugin version is 4.1.0
Then go to app/build.gradle and change classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:<plugin_version>

My project was incompatible with Gradle 8.0 .Here's what worked for me:
First I wrote this line of code in the Android Studio terminal:
./gradlew build --warning-mode all
When you do that, you will be shown in the logcat what is found to be deprecated or an issue in your project, for me it was the jcenter() repository that needed to be removed in my settings.gradle file and also I needed to update classpath "org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-gradle-plugin:1.5.21" to classpath "org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-gradle-plugin:1.5.30" in my build.gradle project file.
Once I did these things, my project built perfectly and installed on my emulator

I was getting this error. Turns out it only happened when I completely cleaned the RN caches (quite elaborate process) and then created a release build.
If I cleaned the caches, created a debug build and then a release build, everything worked. Bit worrying but works.
Note: My clean command is...
rm -r android/build ; rm -r android/app/src/release/res ; rm -r android/app/build/intermediates ; watchman watch-del-all ; rm -rf $TMPDIR/react-* ; npm start -- --reset-cache

Important - Answer work only for REACT-NATIVE VS CODE Terminal
In VisualStudio code, you have to run like below then that warning will be omitted.
react-native run-android warning-mode=all
If you run below then you will get the error in terminal
When running react-native run-android --warning-mode all I get error: unknown option --warning-mode'

in my case i updated the build.gradle file and make the classpath to latest version from 3.5.2 to 3.6.3
dependencies {
classpath("com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.6.3")
}

In my case adding multiDexEnabled true in Android/app/build.gradle file compiled the files.
I will look into removing this in the future, as in the documentation it says 'Before configuring your app to enable use of 64K or more method references, you should take steps to reduce the total number of references called by your app code, including methods defined by your app code or included libraries.'
defaultConfig {
applicationId "com.peoplesenergyapp"
minSdkVersion rootProject.ext.minSdkVersion
targetSdkVersion rootProject.ext.targetSdkVersion
versionCode 1
versionName "1.0"
multiDexEnabled true // <-add this
}

The following solution helped me as I was also getting the same warning.
In your project level gradle file, try to change the gradle version in classpath
classpath "com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.6.0" to
classpath "com.android.tools.build:gradle:4.0.1"

Update your third party dependencies. for example I updated dependency from
implementation 'com.github.ybq:Android-SpinKit:1.1.0' to implementation 'com.github.ybq:Android-SpinKit:1.2.0'. and in my case issue has been solved.

It work for me in this issue in a project of react-native:
Deprecated Gradle features were used in this build, making it incompatible with Gradle 7.0.

I Did this:

Set distributionUrl path in gradle-wrapper-properties files as :
distributionUrl=https://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-4.10.2-all.zip

Solution for the issue:
deprecated gradle features were used in this build making it incompatible with gradle 6.0. android studio
This provided solution worked for me.
First change the classpath in dependencies of build.gradle of your project
From: classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.3.1'
To: classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.6.1'
Then make changes in the gradle-wrapper.properties file this file exists in the Project's gradle>wrapper folder
From: distributionUrl=https\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-5.4.1-all.zip
To: distributionUrl=https\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-5.6.4-all.zip
Then Sync your gradle.

Uninstall the old app from the device/emulator. It worked for me

i'am using react-native and this works for me :
in root of project cd android and gradlew clean
open task manager in windows
on tab 'Details' hit endtask on both java.exe proccess
long story short
> Task :app:installDebug FAILED Fixed by kiling java.exe prossess

Solved this issue by deleting the .gradle folder from /android and again run npm run android, and it solved this error.
Here's a link to the issue: https://github.com/facebook/react-native/issues/28954

I am using react-native if all above didn't work delete Build and .gridle folder inside the Android folder and run again, That solved my problem

Go to gradle/wrapper/gradle-wrapper.properties change the distributionUrl=https\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-7.4.2-bin.zip to the release that is needed (or higher).
Then run again cd android && ./gradlew bundleRelease

Finally decided to downgrade the junit 5 to junit 4 and rebuild the testing environment.

On a SpringBoot project using IntelliJ and Gradle, I got the warning "Deprecated Gradle features were used in this build, making it incompatible with Gradle 5.0" when running my integration test.
What solved the problem was:
- Going to: File > Settings > Build, Execution, Deployment
- Selecting for "Build and run using": Intellij IDEA (instead of "Gradle")
- Same for "Run tests using"
That did not explain why Gradle is displaying the warning, but that let me perform the test and progress in my work.

I found my disk space is less than 4 GB and can not get the Gradle lib repo
then show
Deprecated Gradle features were used in this build, making it incompatible with Gradle 7.0.
Run with --stacktrace option to get the stack trace. Run with --info or --debug option to get more log output. Run with --scan to get full insights.
just remove tmp and junk files, free up space then try build and resolve problem

In my case deleting the whole android folder from the base directory and allowing it to rebuild all of it on eas build fixed this error for me :)

1)cd android
2) ./gradlew clean
3)./gradlew :app:bundleRelease
then last install npm install command

it is due to incompatibility.
please upgrade classpath("com.android.tools.build:gradle:4.0.1") in build.gradle file under android folder.

Check settings.gradle script and remove jcenter() from that it may be causing the issue as it is deprecated.
You're new settings.gradle file should be
pluginManagement {
repositories {
gradlePluginPortal()
google()
mavenCentral()
}
plugins {
id 'com.android.application' version '7.1.0-alpha12'
id 'com.android.library' version '7.1.0-alpha12'
id 'org.jetbrains.kotlin.android' version '1.5.21'
}
}
dependencyResolutionManagement {
repositoriesMode.set(RepositoriesMode.FAIL_ON_PROJECT_REPOS)
repositories {
google()
mavenCentral()
}
}
rootProject.name = "ComposePlayground"
include ':app'
Take note that ComposePlayground is app name.

I Sloved this problem by updating my gradle-wrapper.properties file. You have to change this line distributionUrl=https://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-7.3.3-bin.zip to the lates gradle build which can be found at The Gradle Wrapper.
Hope that helps someone out there :)

After none of the above answers worked for me, I managed to solve this issue by upgrading the Gradle plugin to the latest version and using the JDK 11.
Hope this helps someone!

Try this solution worked for me.
If you have another app with the same name (or package name) on the device: Rename the app or delete it from your device.

For me, the problem was that I ran out of space in my device's internal storage. After deleting a few unnecessary apps, it worked fine.

After hours of searching on the web I used this command:
react-native run-android warning-mode=all
on vs code.
And it turns out that the error have nothing to do with deprecated modules or any gradle error, it was just that my device was full of storage.
I hope it will help someone one day.

A problem was found with the configuration of task ':app:checkDebugManifest' (type 'CheckManifest') in flutter

I was building my app, when this error occured while building -
FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.
* What went wrong:
A problem was found with the configuration of task ':app:checkDebugManifest' (type 'CheckManifest').
- Type 'CheckManifest' property 'manifest' has #Input annotation used on property of type 'File'.
Reason: A property of type 'File' annotated with #Input cannot determine how to interpret the file.

I have no idea why this error occured, while everything was working fine just before. Please someone help me with this.

In my case I got such error after upgrading Gradle to version 7.
I fixed it by updating a version 'com.android.tools.build:gradle' in project build.gradle file:
buildscript {
repositories {
jcenter()
maven {
url 'https://maven.google.com/'
name 'Google'
}
google()
}
dependencies {
classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:4.2.0'
}
}

I have upgrade the android studio to 4.X.X that time android studio automatically upgraded all my gradle files.
You need to check two files
gradle-wrapper.properties
project build.gradle file
In gradle-wrapper.properties need to use
distributionUrl=https\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-6.5-bin.zip
and in project build.gradle file
classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:4.2.2

This error occurs due to the upgraded version of Gradle (Gradle 7+). You can resolve this issue in two ways.
Upgrade the compileSdkVersion to 31 in app build.gradle file,
android {
compileSdkVersion 31
...
}
Update gradle build tools version to 4.2+ in project build.gradle file
buildscript {
...
dependencies {
classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:4.2.2'
}
}
or
Downgrade the gradle version to 6.x instead of 7.x
Update gradle distribution version to 6.5 in gradle-wrapper.properties file
distributionUrl=https\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-6.5-bin.zip
Update gradle build tools version to 4.2+ in project build.gradle file
buildscript {
...
dependencies {
classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:4.2.0'
}
}

Without downgrading Gradle version (currently 7.0.2), upgrading dependencies gave clearer errors indicating issues with compileSdkVersion.
So I set it to 31 (suggested version), and it completely resolved all the problems.
Tip: Some other problems with kotlin-version and firebase versions came up after, but errors were clear and everything could be fixed just following the details.

Minimum supported Gradle version is 6.7.1. Current version is 6.5. If using the gradle wrapper

I solved this problem by updating compileSdkVersion 33 in build.gradle file.

Can anyone please help?
Following is the Instant Run screenshot

I got this problem too. I fix it by Change build.gradle in project
Change
dependencies {
classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:2.3.3'
}
And also I change the distributionUrl in gradle-wrapper.properties(Global Version)
distributionUrl=https\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-4.0-milestone-1-all.zip
And got succeed.FYI.

I am facing same error before a week I solve by disabling the Instant Run
File → Settings → Build, Execution, Deployment → Instant Run and
uncheck Enable Instant Run.
Hope it works.
Note This answer works on below Android Studio 3

you need check your gradle version. gradle -v
then you should know your gradle version and your gradle plugin version compatible.
Example:
gradle 4.6 is not compatible with gradle plugin 2.2.
so need update com.android.tools.build:gradle version to 2.3.3.
then you need check gradle/wrapper/gradle-wrapper.properties distributionUrl gradle version
google Android Plugin for Gradle Release Notes
on the other hand
using newer plugin version might require to update Android Studio
thanks #antek

I also encountered this error when updating to 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.0.0'
To fix it, I had to add the google() repo to both the buildscript and module repositories. The documentation here only mentions adding to to the buildscript.
Project-level build.gradle
buildscript {
repositories {
...
// You need to add the following repository to download the
// new plugin.
google()
}
dependencies {
classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.0.0'
}
}
App-level build.gradle
repositories {
...
// Documentation doesn't specify this, but it must be added here
google()
}
gradle-wrapper.properties
...
distributionUrl=https\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-4.1-all.zip

had similar problem, issue was different versions of included library. to find out what causes problem run build command with stacktrace
./gradlew build --stacktrace

In my case, i got wifi problem. make sure you have valid internet connection

In my case I solved this error only by Invalidating caches.
File > Invalidate caches / Restart

This is neither an exact answer to the question nor a silver bullet.
However, if nothing works for you e.g. Invalidate cache & restart, Checking build dependency, Disabling Instant Run (I never advise that) etc.
Add command-line option --stacktrace in Setting > Build, Execution, Deployment > Compiler
Now build/assemble gradle once again. You will have detailed information about the cause. e.g. in my case:
Caused by: org.gradle.internal.resolve.ModuleVersionNotFoundException:
Could not find com.squareup.okhttp3:logging-interceptor:3.9.1Net.
I have misspelled the dependency name in module level gradle file. Hope that help

The problem is probably you're using a Gradle version rather than 3.
go to gradle/wrapper/gradle-wrapper.properties and change the last line to this:
distributionUrl=https\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-3.3-all.zip

For those of you working on a team:
I pulled down some changes that included updating the build tools version, but I had not downloaded that new version of the build tools on my machine. Downloading the new version fixed this issue for me

For me, this issue arose due to an incompatible combination of plugin and gradle.
I added these to the code to have it working:
Main build.gradle
dependencies {
classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.0.0'
}
Main gradle-wrapper.properties:
distributionUrl=https\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-4.1-all.zip

Usually it depends on Instant run or Gradle, but I tried both variants and nothing helped me. Then I looked through idea.log and saw this error
Caused by: java.lang.RuntimeException: A conflict was found between the
following modules:
- com.android.support:support-core-utils:25.3.1
- com.android.support:support-core-utils:27.0.1
I really don't know why this error is not shown in Gradle Console or Event Log tab. Then I fixed it by adding some code to the end of android{} block.
configurations.all {
resolutionStrategy {
failOnVersionConflict()
eachDependency { DependencyResolveDetails details ->
if (details.requested.name == 'support-core-utils') {
details.useVersion '25.3.1'//Or you can use 27.0.1 if it does not conflict with your other dependencies
}
}
}

I had this issue because I was using Charles proxy on my computer and the SSL was enabled for all hosts. And since AS didn't trust my proxy, the network request failed.
So I had to disable SSL for all hosts and restart my Android Studio.

In my case I have changed version of Kotlin plugin in gradle file related to module but hadn't change it in root gradle file.

It is interesting but as for me help this:
File -> Setting -> Gradle -> disable offline work

I have met the similar problem.

And then I found the problem is related with the version of Gradle,when I have changed Gradle from 5.0 to 4.1,and then it's OK.

For me I had to specifically stop the gradlew and clear caches and this fixed my issues:
./gradlew --stop
// Delete all cache files in your project. With git: `git -xfd clean`
// Delete global cache dir. On Mac it is located in `~/.gradle/caches
Found here:
https://github.com/realm/realm-java/issues/5650#issuecomment-355011135

I've resolved this issue by cleaning all the Gradle cache, stoping the Gradle Daemon process, and created a new build successfully using the following command. Make sure your current directory is android.
rm -rf ~/.gradle/caches && ./gradlew --stop && ./gradlew cleanBuildCache && ./gradlew bundleRelease
I'm using React Native. So I've added following in my scripts in package.json,
"build-android": "rm -rf ~/.gradle/caches && cd android && ./gradlew --stop && ./gradlew cleanBuildCache && ./gradlew bundleRelease && cd ..",

Changing the below line in your gradle.build helps.
classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:4.2.2'

With the new google support gradle plugin (com.google.gms.google-services) this can be caused by some dependency version problems with your com.google.android.gms.* modules.
You can probably see the root cause by running the build command with the --stacktrace parameter. i.e.:
./gradlew :app:dependencies --stacktrace
which might output the cause of the problem:
Caused by: org.gradle.api.GradleException:
The library com.google.android.gms:play-services-measurement-base is being requested by various other libraries at [[15.0.2,15.0.2],

Just Change the Distribution url at gradle-wrapper.properties
Place it : https://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-4.10.1-all.zip

I ignored using JDK13 with Android Studio, So I selected below settings and it was solved:
Step 1. (File > Other Settings > Default Project Structure > SDK Location > JDK Location)
Embedded JDK
Step 2. (File > Project Structure > Project)
gradle plugin 3.6.3
gradle 5.6.4

I had buildToolsVersion "27.0.1", upgrading it to 27.0.2 fixed the issue.
Also, my android support deps were at version 27.0.2 so they were not aligned to the buildToolsVersion

The only thing that helped me was to use the system gradle instead of Android Studio's built-in:
SETTINGS -> Build, Execution, Deployment -> Gradle
Select Use local gradle distribution. To find the path, you can do which gradle where the which program is supported. It might be /usr/bin/gradle.
See also Error:Could not initialize class com.android.sdklib.repositoryv2.AndroidSdkHandler for another possible cause.

SETTINGS -> Build, Execution, Deployment -> Gradle -> unselect Offline work
Then sync project, you are good to go.
If not working , then File > Invalidate caches / Restart - > Invalidate and Restart.

In my case, I was missing the target SDK platform installed. I remember this error was straightforward and prompted you to install it automatically. Worth checking that as well.

First Step:File → Settings → Build, Execution, Deployment → Instant Run and uncheck Enable Instant Run.
Second step: Press Invalidate/Restart.
done.... Enjoy.

In my case, I had to do -
File -> Sync Project with Gradle Files

In my case I had to update all the Firebase libraries to the latest versions.

I think u have to change compile by implementation first, then maybe the problem is your android version, it is not compatible with your code, so update it.
And Good luck

Building Android app from the command line with Gradle on Windows: Version too old

Foreword: I know that there are dozens of questions about the error I'm getting but still I don't think my question is a duplicate because it seems all older questions refer to building using Android Studio whereas I'm trying to build an Android app from the command line on Windows.
So here we go: I've just installed the latest Android Studio, Android NDK and JDK 8 on a Windows 7 system. I've created a minimal test project with a build.gradle which looks like this:
// 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:2.3.1'
// 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
}
When I open a command line and type gradle wrapper I get the following error:
Build file 'D:\TestProject\app\build.gradle' line: 1
* What went wrong:
A problem occurred evaluating project ':app'.
> Failed to apply plugin [id 'com.android.application']
> Minimum supported Gradle version is 3.3. Current version is 3.2. If using the gradle wrapper, try editing the distributionUrl in D:\TestProject\gradle\wrapper\gradle-wrapper.properties to gradle-3.3-all.zip
* Try:
Run with --stacktrace option to get the stack trace. Run with --info or --debug option to get more log output.
BUILD FAILED
Total time: 1.085 secs
I cannot follow the advice presented in the error message because the file D:\TestProject\gradle\wrapper\gradle-wrapper.properties simply doesn't exist yet. AFAIU, this stuff is part of the wrapper and should be generated by a call to gradle wrapper so prompting me to modify a file which doesn't exist doesn't make too much sense to me.
What is even more confusing is the fact that when I open the HelloJNI test project provided by Google in Android Studio and go to File/Project Structure/Project the Gradle version is shown as 3.3. However, looking inside C:\Program Files\Android\Android Studio\gradle shows that I only have 3.2 installed, not 3.3, because there is only a gradle-3.2 directory inside C:\Program Files\Android\Android Studio\gradle.
So this is all rather confusing and I'm out of ideas about how to fix this. That's why any help is greatly appreciated!

When I open a command line and type gradle wrapper I get the following error
The fact that this actually runs means that you installed a standalone local copy of Gradle. You are not running the Gradle Wrapper yet, as that would be ./gradlew, not gradle.
So, visit the Gradle installation site and upgrade your standalone local copy of Gradle to 3.3.

In your top build.gradle file, add the following:
task wrapper(type: Wrapper) {
gradleVersion = "3.5"
}
Then run the command:
gradlew wrapper
After this is done, you should be able to re-sync with the IDE.

BUILD FAILED
Total time: 4.817 secs
I followed the specifications:
Gradle 1.9
Plugin 0.7
SDK 17+ (actually 19)
I also started a project anew, and the results I showed were issued by the command gradle tasks as shown in the documentation.
I also tried gradle 1.10, but the result is the same.
Even this question was not usefull, since it solved with 'upgrading' to gradle 1.6 (I understand that plugin 0.7 requires at least gradle 1.9).
I tried this after failing with the same error in android-studio and IntelliJ Idea.
EDIT: I also tried with new projects in both IDEs, and got the same issue. But what most surprises me is that both IDEs use gradle 1.8 in their wrapped form. I tried to cinfigure both of them to use my local gradle install, but still the same issue.
What am I doing wrong? Is it a bug? How can I avoid the problem?
Please, help me.
EDIT: Here is my build.gradle
buildscript {
repositories {
mavenCentral()
}
dependencies {
classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:0.7.+'
}
}
apply plugin: 'android'
repositories {
mavenCentral()
}
android {
compileSdkVersion 14
buildToolsVersion '19.0.1'
defaultConfig {
minSdkVersion 14
targetSdkVersion 19
}
}
sourceCompatibility = 1.6
version = '0.1'
dependencies {
compile 'com.android.support:support-v4:18.0.0'
//compile project(':core')
}

Google made a mistake with version 0.7.2 of the Gradle plugin:
Note: 0.7.2 requires Java7. This is a mistake. Use 0.7.3 instead.
Release 0.7.3 re-enables Java6 support. Declaring Gradle 0.7.3 in my build files does indeed resolve this for me.
No one is perfect :)

Use Gradle 1.9 instead of Gradle 1.10. There is an issue with 1.10 : https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=63822

Can't find org.gradle.api.artifacts.result.ResolvedModuleVersionResult when apply Android plugin in Gradle

I got it working using Gradle 1.10 with the Gradle plugin 0.8.0.

// Top-level build file where you can add configuration

If you're using the command line to create the project like so:
android create project -g -v 1.2.2 --target 1 --name rtest --path rtest --activity MainActivity --package com.mydomain.rtest
The project is created to use version 1.2.2 of the android-gradle-plugin, but the project is initialised with gradle 1.12, which isn't compatible.
To fix it, do the following:
Open rtest/gradle/wrapper/gradle-wrapper.properties and set distributionUrl to the release you want; for example: http\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-2.2.1-all.zip (don't forget to escape the colon - yes, that makes me smile too);
Open build.gradle and change runProguard false to minifyEnabled false;
./gradlew clean && ./gradlew assembleDebug
I also remove the hidden .gradle folder, but I'm not sure if it's necessary
And it all works again.

For those who are using 2.1 version of studio, replace classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:2.1.0-rc1' with classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:2.1.0'. This solved my problem.

If you are attempting to update your Gradle 1.9 project to Gradle 1.10 using
task wrapper(type: Wrapper) {
gradleVersion = '1.10'
}
and command ./gradlew wrapper you will get the same error as above.
Solution is to install Gradle 1.10 onto your machine and upgrade your project not using the wrapper
gradle wrapper

You can also get this error if you update your system gradle and forget to update the Android Studio gradle home.

I got this today when running gradle assembleRelease. I had installed the Ubuntu default of gradle-1.4. This didn't work, so I tried the latest gradle-1.12 and got the same issue.
Downloading and using gradle-1.10 (and matching my gradle-wrapper.properties file to that version) resolved the issue.
This is with Android Studio 0.5.8.

Go to dependencies and just change the dependencies classpath to
classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:2.0.0-beta6'
Rest Gradle will take care. Happy coding :)

Ok i guess android studio has answer for this to get this bug out using GUI,
I had this error like this...
after updating the plugins i was facing another issues while building,
so changes the gradle setting to default as shown in the image,
After this build was successful.
