Error "Minimum supported Gradle version is 5.1.1. Current version is 4.4.1" after update android studio
AndroidGradleAndroid Gradle-PluginAndroid Problem Overview
I updated android studio from 3.3 to 3.4 version and after install and do ./gradlew lint
I am getting the next error:
> Deprecated Gradle features were used in this build, making it > incompatible with Gradle 6.0.
Then I use the next command to get more details:
./gradlwe build --warning-mode=all
And I get the next message:
> Failed to apply plugin [id 'com.android.application'] > > Minimum supported Gradle version is 5.1.1. Current version is 4.4.1. If using the gradle wrapper, try editing the distributionUrl in .gradle/daemon/4.4.1/gradle/wrapper/gradle-wrapper.properties > to gradle-5.1.1-all.zip
And when I edited my gradle-wrapper.properties, I see that the changes were already done, I.E. the version of the distributionUrl
already was gradle-5.1.1.-all.zip
Any idea that how can resolve this?

You could just edit YOUR_APPLICATION_FOLDER/gradle/wrapper/gradle-wrapper.properties and change the last line to:
distributionUrl=https\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-5.1.1-all.zip
Android Studio will download necessary library.
Solution 2 - Android
This was my solution.
My_project
/gradle
/wrapper
/gradle-wrapper.properties
Modify this line with the Gradle 5.1.1
distributionUrl=https\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-5.1.1-all.zip

Finally, I was able to solve this dropping the folders of the oldest version in ~/.gradle/wrapper/dists
and leave only the gradle-5.1.1-all
Solution 4 - Android
In my case, gradle failed to download the version I specified though I tried all previous solutions.
Apparently, I was opening my project by selecting "MyProject/App" directory. Gradle successfully updated when I opened the same project by selecting the "MyProject" folder.

-
Check your full project and find all "Gradle-wrapper.properties" files. If your project has multiple modules then there are chances of having multiple. and set -
> distributionUrl=https://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-5.1.1-all.zip
-
Gradle sync
-
If not done then invalidate the cache and restart the project.
-
Still not working then go to your root directory on Linux and find .gradle folder. Delete it and restart the android studio.

If you use Ubuntu and all above answers didn't solve your problem try to upgrade gradle on your Ubuntu with this commands from this answer https://askubuntu.com/a/975018/714791
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:cwchien/gradle
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt upgrade gradle
It will help I hope

I resolved by two below steps.
- delete gradle folder
- check your classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:{$gradleVersion}
My gradleVersion is 3.5.3.
Solution 8 - Android
I solved this by changing the distributionUrl
in gradle-wrapper.properties
in gradle/wrapper
, not gradle.properties
Solution 9 - Android
Maybe it's your gradle environment variable. execute 'gradle -v' Check that the gradle version of the project matches the gradle environment variable version

those who are still facing issue with Cordova/Ionic, this is due to CORDOVA_ANDROID_GRADLE_DISTRIBUTION_URL
which is being checked at platforms/android/cordova/lib/builders/GradleBuilder.js
set CORDOVA_ANDROID_GRADLE_DISTRIBUTION_URL
to desired distributional
for MacOs
export CORDOVA_ANDROID_GRADLE_DISTRIBUTION_URL = https\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-5.4.1-all.zip
Solution 11 - Android
I think it's very important to mention which IDE you're using and what are the configurations. What made me upset was, I had a setting in gradle-wrapper.properties file which was "ignored" to my mind.
I've found the settings in the IDEA application settings, there:
and then selecting:
and everything works as expected.
Deleting 'all other' locally cached versions can never be the right solution ;)
Good luck!

My app is using Cordova v9.0.0
distributionUrl is set at platforms\android\cordova\lib\builders\ProjectBuilder.js
You can set distributionUrl from the command line with
set CORDOVA_ANDROID_GRADLE_DISTRIBUTION_URL="https://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-[version]-all.zip"
Replace [version] with your preference

it solved for me get the flutter SDK directory
this is my flutter Sdk C:\flutter\.pub-cache\hosted\pub.dartlang.org\connectivity_macos-0.1.0+2\android\gradle\wrapper
change gradle-wrapper.properties
Modify this line with the Gradle 5.1.1
distributionUrl=https\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-5.1.1-all.zip

I had the same error: Error "Minimum supported Gradle version is 6.1.1. Current version is 5.1.1" but when I opened the gradle.properties and I found this "distributionUrl=https://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-6.1.1-all.zip" which was correct but wasn't working. To solve this, I deleted the ".gradle" file in the explorer, reopened the app and found out the distributionUrl had change to 5.2.2-all.zip in gradle.properties; I then edited to 6.1.1-all.zip and sync and everything worked like a charm. I hope this can help someone else.

Try to download manually Gradle-5.1.1 from https://gradle.org/releases then go to file/project structure/project and put the new version in gradle version. (You can also use this link - jenv.io/candidate/gradle)
Solution 16 - Android
I was having the same problem after migrating from android.support
library to androidx
where junit library start with androidTestImplementation and not
testImplementation.
So i changed
testImplementation "junit:junit:$rootProject.junitVersion"
to
androidTestImplementation androidx.test.ext:junit:1.0.0-beta01
or
androidTestImplementation "junit:junit:$rootProject.junitVersion"
Remember to append android
before testImplementation

also, try removing all older/unwanted versions of gradle using: cd usr/local/Cellar/gradle/
Solution 18 - Android
Don't forget to run the gradle wrapper in your project: https://docs.gradle.org/6.4.1/userguide/gradle_wrapper.html#sec:adding_wrapper
Solution 19 - Android
Delete gradle folder from your project directory as well as from the app directory.
restart Adroid studio and resync gradle.
it will solve your problem. If not you might be opened the project yourproject/app. close Android studio and import your project after selecting yourproject. Then resync gradle. This will solve your problem.

For Windows 10:
Go to C:\Users\<user-name>\.gradle\wrapper\dists
and delete everything there. Android studio will download the appropriate version afterwards.

If anyone is still searching for a solution after trying literally everything, here's what worked for me.
In the .gitlab-ci.yml
file, my image:
key was outdated and was writing in the script that Gradle was set to 5.1.1 even though everything in my Android Studio was 7.0.2. After talking to the guy who wrote the image script, I just had to increment the version of that.
