Gradle Is Issuing an Error "Could Not Create Plugin of Type 'Appplugin'"

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

Google made a mistake with version 0.7.2 of the Gradle plugin:

Note: 0.7.2 requires Java7. This is a mistake. Use 0.7.3 instead.

Release 0.7.3 re-enables Java6 support. Declaring Gradle 0.7.3 in my build files does indeed resolve this for me.

No one is perfect :)

Gradle wrapper gives error Could not create plugin of type 'AppPlugin'

I found out what caused this problem:

I was running the command with gradlew cC instead of ./gradleW cC, using the /Users/<username>/Library/Android/sdk/tools/templates/gradle/wrapper/gradlew instead of the project's Gradle wrapper. Doh

Gradle: Could not create plugin of type AppPlugin

Ooops, appearently I was using the wrong version of Gradle. My bad!

This 2 lines could make it clear what version is used

println GradleVersion.current().prettyPrint()
assert gradle.gradleVersion >= "1.10" // android plugin 0.10 requires Gradle 1.10, 1.11, 1.12

Android Studio - Failed to apply plugin [id 'com.android.application']

Updated June 24, 2020

You need to update to the latest gradle version to solve this issue.

Please make sure you are on the latest Android Studio

and then update your project level build.gradle by updating this dependency

buildscript {
    repositories {
        google()
    }
    dependencies {
        classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:4.0.0'
    }
}

It might show a popup asking your permission to update gradle, please update and it will download the latest distribution automatically and the issue will be resolved.

Or else you can

Get Latest Gradle 5.6.4 from here and Add it manually

If you don't want to download it manually:

Open YourProject > gradle > wrapper > gradle-wrapper.properties and replace

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

With

distributionUrl=https\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-6.1.1-all.zip

Rebuild the project or just run gradle sync again.

gradle build error Plugin with id 'com.android.application' not found

You are adding plugins in wrong place.

plugins are added inside build.gradle(app) and classpaths are added inside build.gradle(project).

for example, inside build.gradle(app)

apply plugin: 'com.android.application'
buildscript {
    repositories { 
     mavenCentral()
   }
    dependencies { }
}

inside build.gradle(Project)

dependencies{
    classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:7.1'
}
