How to fix "Unable to load class 'com.android.builder.errors.EvalIssueReporter'." error on Android Studio 3.2.1 - android-studio

Question

I use IntelliJ IDEA for creating #Flutter projects and I have the Android Studio for installation purposes of Flutter onto my machine. The problem arose when I upgraded the Android Studio from 3.1.4 to 3.2.1. Moreover, after this upgrade, I'm no longer able to create any project in both IDEs.
The error message in IntelliJ
The error message in Android Studio
P.S. Those are the default programs of both IDEs namely, IntelliJ and Android Studio.
any newly-created project brings up this error; however, previously-created projects work perfectly fine.

I have checked those questions but unfortunately, the error wasn't fixed.
Build errors after Android Studio 3.2.1 upgrade
Could not find com.android.tools.build:aapt2:3.2.0

Answer 1

This issue got solved and now the IDE is working like a charm.
As it was seen from the provided screenshots there was an error in the Android Gradle plugin, so to solve this issue follow the numbered steps in the newly provided screenshots below.
(Part 1) Solving gradle issue due to upgrading Android Studio to 3.2.1
Step 0: From the left panel in your IDE, choose the android
[name_of_project] folder
Step 1: look for the build.gradle file then double click it to
start editing it
Step 2: change exactly the line that states
classpath
'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.2.1' to the current version of
your Android Studio, in other terms, classpath
'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.3.0' in my case.
(Part 2) Solving gradle issue due to upgrading Android Studio to 3.2.1
Step 3: After finishing from Steps 1 & 2, go to the gradle folder
Step 4: Double click on the wrapper subfolder
Step 5: Click the gradle-wrapper.properties file to start editing
it
Step 6: make sure that your gradle version is compatible with your
current Android Studio
distributionUrl=https\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-4.10.2-all.zip
The Android Gradle plugin 3.3.0 requires the Gradle version of 4.10.1 and newer.
Disclaimer: you need to do these steps whenever you create a new project on whatever IDE you use namely, Android Studio, IntelliJ IDEA, and VS Code.
