Here is the attached error log:

Issue has been resolved after updating Android studio version to 3.3-rc2 or latest released version.

cr: @shadowsheep

have to change version under /gradle/wrapper/gradle-wrapper.properties. refer below url https://stackoverflow.com/a/56412795/7532946

I have the same problem after upgrading to Gradle Wrapper 5.0., Now I switch back to 4.10.3 which just released 5 December 2018 based on Gradle documentation and use Android Gradle Plugin: 3.2.1 (the latest stable version).

This issue is due to incompatible of your plugin Verison and required Gradle version; they need to match with each other. I am sharing how my problem was solved.

plugin version

Required Gradle version is here

more compatibility you can see from here. Android Plugin for Gradle Release Notes

if you have the android studio version 4.0.1

then your top level gradle file must be like this

buildscript {
repositories {
    google()
    jcenter()
}
dependencies {
    classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:4.0.2'
    classpath 'com.google.firebase:firebase-crashlytics-gradle:2.4.1'

    // NOTE: Do not place your application dependencies here; they belong
    // in the individual module build.gradle files
}
}

and the gradle version should be

and your app gradle look like this

For others who have the same problem in IntelliJ:

upgrading to the latest IDE version should resolve the issue.

In my case going from 2018.1 -> 2018.3.3

In gradle-wrapper.properties I changed back from gradle-5.1.1 to distributionUrl=https://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-4.10.3-all.zip

I solved this issue after changing the "Gradle Version" and "Android Plugin version".

You just goto "File>>Project Structure>>Project>>" and make changes here. I have worked a combination of versions from another working project of mine and added to the Project where I was getting this problem.

I have same problem after upgrading to Gradle Wrapper 5.1.rec3. I am back to Gradle 4.6

I upgraded my IntelliJ Version from 2018.1 to 2018.3.6. It works !

For anybody facing a similar issue at this point in time, all you need to do is update your Android Studio to the latest version

The easiest way I've found is delete Android Studio from the applications folder, then download & install it again.
