Failed To Apply Plugin [id 'com.android.application'] - Minimum Supported Gradle Version Is 4.4

All projects fail to build after updating Android Studio to v3.1.2 from v2.5 Failed to apply plugin [id 'com.android.application'] > Minimum supported Gradle version is

Solution 1:

Default gradle pointer wrong. During update, Android Studio ffailed to update the symlink for gradle:

/usr/local/bin/gradle 

Once I manually updated

ln -s /Users/userx/.gradle/wrapper/dists/gradle-4.4-all/9br9xq1tocpiv8o6njlyu5op1/gradle-4.4/bin/gradle /usr/local/bin/

all builds started working again.

Solution 2:

Classpath version in build.gradle project level should be compatible with gradle version in gradle-wrapper.properties file.

in my case:

build.gradle project level:

classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.5.3'

and gradle-wrapper.properties:-

distributionUrl=https\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-5.4.1-all.zip

Solution 3:

I faced the same problem using platform IONIC and CORDOVA

I solved this problem doing the following...

First

inside folder of your project

gradlew wrapper --gradle-version=4.7 --distribution-type=all

Second

Open the folder of your project via Android Studio e runs The command

Sync Project with Gradle Files

Third

cordova plugin rm cordova-plugin-facebook4 --save (if necessary) ionic cordova platform rm android npm uninstall cordova ionic -g

At last

npm install -g cordova ionic ionic cordova platform add android ionic cordova plugin add cordova-plugin-facebook4 --variable APP_ID="your_app_id" --variable APP_NAME="the_name_of_your_app"

And now ...

ionic cordova build android BUILD SUCCESSFUL
