I'm new to Android but i got a message similar to yours today when i try to use a different version (not the suggested ones) of the Gradle plugin and gradle engine on Android Studio 4.1 canary.

When I had on my App build.gradle these lines:

task wrapper(type: Wrapper){
    gradleVersion = '5.6.4'
}

and on my build.gradle for the module this line

classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.6.3' 

This was the message i got with previous settings:

A problem occurred evaluating project ':app'.
> No signature of method: build_5dcjpn4h9nkpym0yszxs5w2uh.android() is applicable for argument types: (build_5dcjpn4h9nkpym0yszxs5w2uh$_run_closure1) values: [build_5dcjpn4h9nkpym0yszxs5w2uh$_run_closure1@2e4515b3]

The way i found to solve this error was changing version for the gradle plugin on my build.gradle for the module like this

classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:4.0.0' 

I hope this could help you. Happy coding!
