Feb 25th 2021  For me  after over 8 hours of trials and errors  it was the re-ordering of the repositories sources in the project-level build gradle file that solved the issue for me  So  instead of  buildscript           repositories           google           mavenCentral           maven   url  quot https   plugins gradle org m2  quot                 I moved google   to the bottom  buildscript           repositories           mavenCentral           maven   url  quot https   plugins gradle org m2  quot            google                Of course  be sure to update the gradle android plugin and the matching gradle-wrapper distribution versions too

In my case  if your version of build tools in the build gradle file in the root folder like        classpath  com android tools build gradle 3 x x   lt --- version of tools   is not supported by the Gradle installed in your project  you can check the build tools plugin supported versions here  and make sure that the version installed in your project is supported by that version of Gradle   You don t need to upgrade Gradle  you just check if it supports the plugin installed in your project or not

Inside my project there is a  gradle folder which had cached the previous gradle version I was using  5 4 1  and gradle kept using that instead of my newly downloaded one  5 6 4    Simply    Close Android Studio Delete the older gradle version folders from your project  Restart Android Studio  Everything should be working correctly   In case this didn t work you can also try the following     Delete all versions in project  gradle folder so only the new one is redownloaded by AS when reopening the IDE   Check your project settings for gradle build version and make sure it is set to the latest one  Check that other modules aren t using older versions of the gradle build  You can search for this using project search  Ctrl Shift F  for  distributionUrl  and making sure that all modules have the latest version   Delete  gradle caches under your root gradle folder  usually C   Users  you   gradle try gradle build --stacktrace  --info  --scan or --debug in your AS terminal to get help and more info to debug your problem

First of all  before trying the most complicated things you should make the step easier  in my case this bug just happened on my way until the project contained  spaces  for example    Replace   C   Users Silva Neto OneDrive Work space project   With    C   Users SilvaNeto OneDrive Workspace project   Notice that we replaced spaces with camelCase but you can choose any naming scheme you like  and hopefully this could solve your issue   I hope this will help
