Gradle is issuing an error “Could not create plugin of type 'AppPlugin'”

Question

I\'m trying to create a simple android project with gradle. I work in a computer with Debian GNU/Linux 7 \'wheezy\'.

I followed the recomendations in Gradle Plugin U

Answer 1

Go to dependencies and just change the dependencies classpath to classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:2.0.0-beta6' Rest Gradle will take care. Happy coding :)

Answer 2

I got this today when running gradle assembleRelease. I had installed the Ubuntu default of gradle-1.4. This didn't work, so I tried the latest gradle-1.12 and got the same issue.

Downloading and using gradle-1.10 (and matching my gradle-wrapper.properties file to that version) resolved the issue.

This is with Android Studio 0.5.8.

Answer 3

Use Gradle 1.9 instead of Gradle 1.10. There is an issue with 1.10 : https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=63822
