Failed to apply plugin Android Gradle plugin 3.0.0-alpha5 must not be applied to project

Question

Using the latest Android Studio 3.0 Canary 5

Here\'s the error:

Error:(1, 1) A problem occurred evaluating project \':app\'.

Failed to app

Answer 1

This worked for me:

Deactivate Configuration On Demand

In gradle.properties:

org.gradle.configureondemand=false

Then stop the daemon in a terminal window:

gradlew.bat --stop

Now everything works again.

Versions used:

• Android Studio 3.0 Canary 5
• gradle: gradle-4.1-milestone-1
• android gradle plugin: com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.0.0-alpha5

UPDATE
After upgrading to Android Studio 3.0 Beta 2 I can reactivate Configuration on Demand and everything works fine.
