Gradle build failing after update to Android studio 2.3 Canary 3

Question

I\'ve recently updated the android studio version of my project from 2.3 Canary 2 to 2.3 Canary 3. Since then the gradle build is failing every time with this error:

Answer 1

The problem is the last version of tools 2.3.0-alpha3. Try to use the 2.3.0-alpha2 in project build.gradle

classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:2.3.0-alpha2'
