Android Studio – Failed to apply plugin [id ‘com.android.application’]

by

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.
