Gradle version 1.10 is required. Current version is 2.0

Question

I am trying to use latest Gradle version (2.0), however I keep getting this message when hitting gradle build in terminal. Why is it asking for 1.10 version

Answer 1

The version of Android gradle plugin needs to be compatible with the version of Gradle. Checkout the version compatibility mapping table.

Answer 2

Message: "Gradle version 1.10 is required. Current version is 2.0"

Occurs when: Attempting to build an Android project that requires 1.10 version of Gradle while using 2.0 version of it as native.

Solution: Using Gradle Wrapper

Steps:

1. Make sure the distributionUrl is specified as gradle-1.10-all.zip at the Gradle-wrapper properties file within the Android project. The file path would be like this:

   MyAndroidProject/gradle/wrapper/gradle-wrapper.properties

2. Run Gradle Wrapper command at the very top level of the project where the executable scripts (i.e. gradlew and gradlew.bat) are located.

   For Unix-like OS:

   ./gradlew wrapper

   For Windows OS:

   gradlew.bat wrapper

3. Run build command with Gradle Wrapper.

   For Unix-like OS:

   ./gradlew build

   For Windows OS:

   gradlew.bat build
