Answer 1

I had the same issue, I closed Android Studio and opened again, I noticed that it automatically applied these changes to the following files and everything worked fine:

build.gradle: changed the class path of Gradle from:

dependencies {
        classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:2.3.1'
    }

to

dependencies {
        classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.0.0-alpha5'
    }

gradle-wrapper.properties: from

distributionUrl=https\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-3.3-all.zip

to

distributionUrl=https\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-4.1-milestone-1-all.zip
