Answer 1

Okay got the solution. Just replace your hard codded signing config:

release {
                storeFile file('/home/rishabh/Documents/dekhoJks/release.jks')
                storePassword "XXXXXXX"
                keyAlias "XXXXXXXX"
                keyPassword "XXXXXXXXX"
            }

and instead of that create separate signing.properties file :

STORE_FILE=/home/XXX/XXX/XXX
STORE_PASSWORD=XXXXXX
KEY_ALIAS=XXXXXXXX
KEY_PASSWORD=XXXXXXXXX

and use in your gradle. Hope it helps!!

Answer 2

Two solutions

• Use the following classpath. (I was getting this error when i was using the version 2.3.2.)

  classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:2.2.2'

• Disable the split apk option for a temporary fix if you can't change the classpath version.

Answer 3

Upgrade:

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