buildTypes cannot be applied to groovy.lang.Closure

For me the problem was not solved by applying the above solution. Instead I had to go to the settings within Android Studio and select “Use gradle wrapper”:

In Android Studio select:
File\Settings\Build, Execution, Deployment\Build tools\Gradle

(Mac Users: Android Studio\Preferences…\Build, Execution, Deployment\Build tools\Gradle )

Mark: Use default gradle wrapper (default)

This removed all ‘cannot be applied to ‘(groovy.lang.Closure’) warnings in the build files.
