3rd-party Gradle plug-ins may be the cause

What fixed the issue for me:

• Change gradle plugin version to 3.1.0
• Change Kotlin version to 1.2.30
• Then Android studio changed gradle wrapper to version 4.4
• Then Android studio was saying that the build tools version used was 27.0.3 and that I should change it to 27.0.3 so I also changed the target SDK to 27

• I added this to my gradle.build:

  kapt {
       generateStubs = true
   }
  

I hope it helps

I restarted Android Studio and the problem disappeared.

Click File -> Invalidate Caches/Restart

Every time I change the gradle file, I must restart Android Studio to or the problem returns.

You can also try this:

1. Re-ordered repositories to:

   mavenCentral()
   maven { url 'https://jitpack.io' }
   google()
   jcenter()
   

2. Clearing this folder: user's ~/.gradle/caches and deleting app build folder manually, then clean and rebuild.

To solve the issue, remove Instant App Provision from the "Run Configurations" and leave only the Gradle-Aware Make.

Run -> Edit Configurations..

I have AndroidStudio 3.1, Gradle Plugin 3.1.0 and Kotlin library version 1.2.30.
