I found several SO posts describing similar issues, but they are outdated and none were found to be helpful in regard to my upgrade to the latest version of Android Studio.
After upgrading my Android Studio from version 2021.3.1 to version 2022.1.1, my attempt to File > Sync Project with Gradle Files results in Sync failed (within less than 200ms).
When I try to Build > Rebuild Project, I get the following error:
Unable to find Gradle tasks to build: [:].
Build mode: REBUILD.
Tests: None.
There is no :app in any of my settings.gradle files.
I did File > Invalidate Caches... (all of them) and restarted AS, but this didn't help.
I also deleted all build folders, but this didn't help.
Any idea how to solve this?
Right-clicking the Sync failed to Reload Gradle Project results in the same failure but it opens now a bar on top of the editor window with the Show Log in Explorer link. When I click it, I indeed find idea.log in C:\Users\WebViewer\AppData\Local\Google\AndroidStudio2022.1\log. I am inspecting it now...
Update:
The first thing I noticed in idea.log is the following exception:
org.gradle.tooling.GradleConnectionException: Could not run phased build action using connection to Gradle distribution 'https://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-7.4-bin.zip'.
...
Caused by: org.gradle.internal.jvm.JavaHomeException: The supplied javaHome seems to be invalid. I cannot find the java executable. Tried location: C:\Program Files\Android\Android Studio\jre\bin\java.exe
Thanks to this SO tip, I did mklink /D "jre" "jbr" which all of a sudden revived Android Studio and started to download lots of Gradle related packages.
I still have "Gradle Sync issues" but at least Android Studio prompts me now how to solve them:
but... according to https://developer.android.com/reference/tools/gradle-api Gradle's current release is 7.4.0, why is Android Studio asking for a minimum of 7.5?
Problem solved.
For the benefit of all, I am posting here a summary of what I did to solve it:
When a laconic "Sync failed" is all Android Studio provides, C:\Users\<yourname>\AppData\Local\Google\AndroidStudio2022.1\log\idea.log is key to finding clues to the mystery.
In my case, it was failure to find and run the embedded Java version. So, I did mklink /D "jre" "jbr" which miraculously revived the build process (see https://github.com/flutter/flutter/issues/106674#issuecomment-1381685888).
Under File > Settings > Build Tools > Gradle, this is the Java version that works for me:
I then tried to follow Sync's output to use Gradle 7.5.0. It could not be found on any of the repositories in my top level build.gradle and resulted in chasing my tail... According to https://developer.android.com/reference/tools/gradle-api Gradle's current release is 7.4.0, so I reverted to using it (why didn't it work the first time, I don't know) and here is my working top level build.gradle:
// Top-level build file where you can add configuration options common to all sub-projects/modules.
buildscript {
repositories {
gradlePluginPortal()
mavenCentral()
google()
}
dependencies {
classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:7.4.0'
classpath("de.mannodermaus.gradle.plugins:android-junit5:1.8.2.1")
classpath("org.mockito:mockito-inline:4.11.0")
}
}
allprojects {
repositories {
gradlePluginPortal()
mavenCentral()
google()
}
}
When I want to release a new flutter app bundle to the Playstore. I get this error:
"This App Bundle contains native code, and you've not uploaded debug symbols. We recommend you upload a symbol file to make your crashes and ANRs easier to analyze and debug."
I can't find any way to fix this. I'm new with flutter and releasing app's and getting a bit desperate...
Any help would be fantastic.
When I add "android.defaultConfig.ndk.debugSymbolLevel = 'FULL'" (on line 1) to the app/build.gradle as suggested in https://developer.android.com/studio/preview/features#native-crash-symbolization. I get This error in the Android studio terminal. I use this command "flutter build appbundle".
Error in Terminal:

If talking about Flutter, looks like the Flutter team needs to change some source files for the NDK, because it does not see where from to generate debug symbols.
Here is an issue thread: https://github.com/flutter/flutter/issues/60240
Setup steps are so:
Pre-condition: Intall Android studio 4.1+ and Gradle 4.1+
Install NDK (Side by Side) in SDK manager
Write path to NDK in local.properties
Add in app/build.gradle (last line) android.buildTypes.release.ndk.debugSymbolLevel = 'FULL'
Before you can upload debug symbols files, you must be using Android Gradle plugin version 4.1 or higher.
Looks like it will come only with Android Studio 4.1, because I can only get Gradle 4.0.0 automatically now.
So I suggest you to return classic Play console and it will let you through :)
UPDATE:
So just use an updated Gradle and add NDK debug symbols to the build now
The Answer was given by Shakle will be not useful as per the following message on Play Console.
The old version of Play Console will be discontinued from November 2,
2020 You’re already using the new Play Console, so you don’t need to
do anything. A few features are going away if you want to check them
one last time.
It's just a warning, nothing else. Just go ahead.
If you don't want any warning, Go to this link and follow the steps:
https://support.google.com/googleplay/android-developer/answer/9848633?hl=en
You can use the new version of the play store as it is.
you can make these zip file by go to build\app\intermediates\merged_native_libs\release\out\lib inside your Flutter project
and compress the folders into symbols.zip, now upload it into the google play console
I had a similar problem.
What really helped me:
Make sure your Android Gradle plugin version is 4.1 or later.
Install NDK (Side by Side) in SDK manager.
Install CMake in SDK manager.
Add
ndkVersion <ndkVersion>
ndk {
debugSymbolLevel 'FULL'
}
to app/build.gradle
My final build.gradle:
...
android {
compileSdkVersion 30
defaultConfig {
applicationId "com.example.app"
minSdkVersion 21
targetSdkVersion 30
versionCode 28
versionName "1.0.59"
ndkVersion "23.1.7779620"
ndk {
debugSymbolLevel 'FULL'
}
}
buildTypes {
release {
minifyEnabled true
shrinkResources true
proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
}
}
configurations {
compile.exclude group: 'com.google.zxing'
}
}
...
I hope this will help you and save you time
If you want to solve this warning error:
This App Bundle contains native code, and you've not uploaded debug symbols. We recommend you upload a symbol file to make your crashes and ANRs easier to analyze and debug. Make sure also to install CMake
This will happen if your gradle version is higher than 4.0
Place this code into your build.gradle file
android {
compileSdkVersion 28
defaultConfig {
applicationId 'com.example.myproject'
minSdkVersion 21
targetSdkVersion 28
versionCode 1
versionName "1.0.0"
ndk {
debugSymbolLevel 'FULL'
}
}
Instead of creating and uploading zip files, you can include the following to your app\build.gradle file:
buildTypes {
debug {
// This is just here for local testing and is optional.
firebaseCrashlytics {
nativeSymbolUploadEnabled true
unstrippedNativeLibsDir file("build/app/intermediates/merged_native_libs/debug/out/lib")
}
ndk {
debugSymbolLevel 'SYMBOL_TABLE'
}
}
release {
// ..
firebaseCrashlytics { // Insert this
nativeSymbolUploadEnabled true
unstrippedNativeLibsDir file("build/app/intermediates/merged_native_libs/release/out/lib")
}
ndk {
// replace with 'FULL' if you need more info,
// but note that it will increase the file size of your appbundle dramatically.
debugSymbolLevel 'SYMBOL_TABLE'
}
}
}
Here is some documentation for reference:
https://firebase.google.com/docs/crashlytics/ndk-reports#upload-symbols-external-dependencies
And if you're unclear about how to set up automatic uploading of native symbols, try adding this:
buildTypes { ... } // Your build types from the above snippet.
tasks.whenTaskAdded { task ->
if (task.name.startsWith('assemble') && task.name != "assembleReleaseAndroidTest"
&& task.name != "assembleDebugAndroidTest") {
String taskName = "uploadCrashlyticsSymbolFile" + task.name.substring('assemble'.length())
task.finalizedBy taskName
doFirst {
println "Running Gradle task '$taskName'..."
}
}
}
More info for building gradle tasks here:
https://docs.gradle.org/current/userguide/tutorial_using_tasks.html
Also, ensure that you have NDK and CMAKE installed in your IDE's SDK Manager.
Hope that helps!
Simple approach, go to \build\app\intermediates\merged_native_libs\release\out\lib , you will find 3/4 folders , zip those , upload this ZIP from release option ( upload Symbol File ). Warning will be gone after bundle review.
For fixing it in the Visual Studio Code: you should first download
the NDK from the android's website.
Extract the zip file to a folder named ndk and place it under your - already installed - Android SDK folder. Like this: Android/sdk/ndk
Then open app/build.gradle.
Under the Android section. Add ndkPath property as follows: ndkPath = <ndk-dir>
app/build.gradle ndkPath property
At the end of app/build.gradle add android.buildTypes.release.ndk.debugSymbolLevel = 'full'
The next appbundle, built by flutter build appbundle command should not give any errors on the play store about native debug symbols.
a more thorough explanation is here
I just upgraded ndk from 21.4.7075529 to 22.1.7171670, and now I get the debug symbols.
I'm using com.android.tools.build:gradle:7.1.1 and React Natvive 0.69 BTW.
I have the exact same issue.
Possible solutions:
Use the Google classic Play console
Gradle 4.1 is now released with Android Studio 4.1
Could not get unknown property 'android' for project ':app' of type org.gradle.api.Project.
You have to add it in gradle.properties not build.gradle
I was able to get Flutter to build native debug symbols using Android Gradle Plugin (AGP) 4.1.0, installing corresponding NDK version and adding the appropriate config to android/app/build.gradle on macOS (but it should also work on Windows/Linux).
Optional: Run flutter build appbundle and take note of the .aab file size
Check what version of AGP you're using in android/build.gradle by looking in dependencies e.g. com.android.tools.build:gradle:4.1.0 is 4.1.0
Check which version of NDK you need. Assuming your AGP is 4.1.0 the NDK version you want to install is 21.1.6352462 (for other AGP versions check mappings here)
Install specific NDK version using Android Studio. Alternatively you can use sdkmanager and the CLI: $ANDROID_HOME/tools/bin/sdkmanager --install "ndk;21.1.6352462"
In android/app/build.gradle, under android.defaultConfig add ndk { debugSymbolLevel 'FULL' } aka set android.defaultConfig.ndk.debugSymbolLevel = 'FULL' as per this
Run flutter build appbundle. The .aab should now contain native debug symbols and be larger than the previous build in step 0
Troubleshooting: If you get any errors around CMake I didn't explicitly install it but you might need to, especially if you're using Windows, and you can do so using Android Studio.

My issue was this:
This App Bundle contains native code, and you've not uploaded debug symbols. We recommend you upload a symbol file to make your crashes and ANRs easier to analyze and debug.
Fix successfully just upload native debug symbols from the image reference directory shown.
I downloaded the android studio 2.4 preview 6. It has support for java 8 without using jack. This is my application gradle filebuildscript {
repositories {
jcenter()
}
dependencies {
classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:2.4.0-alpha6'
// NOTE: Do not place your application dependencies here; they belong
// in the individual module build.gradle files
}
}
allprojects {
repositories {
jcenter()
}
}
task wrapper(type: Wrapper) {
description 'Creates the gradle wrapper.'
gradleVersion '2.8'
}
And this is my gradle-wrapper.properties file
#Thu Apr 13 15:20:48 IST 2017
distributionBase=GRADLE_USER_HOME
distributionPath=wrapper/dists
zipStoreBase=GRADLE_USER_HOME
zipStorePath=wrapper/dists
distributionUrl=https\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-3.4.1-all.zip
But I keep getting the error :
Error:Unable to find method 'org.gradle.tooling.model.gradle.GradleBuild.getIncludedBuilds()Lorg/gradle/tooling/model/DomainObjectSet;'
What could be leading to the error and how can I solve it? I have tried invalidate cache/restart.
Everything looks fine to me. If you're going to use a beta build you shouldn't rely much on it for reasons like this; it's too buggy. Downgrade to the older version if you're going to push something to production or sell it, and if you're just looking at the new features, change to an older/newer preview. Android studio isn't known for being built that well.
Agree with Alex, I had mostly all the same versions as you:
Dependencies: Grade 2.4.0-alpha6
Gradle Wrapper: gradle-3.4.1-all.zip
Android Studio 2.4 preview 7
Had exactly the same error after updating from Android Studio 2.4 preview 1.
I got off the Canary channel and downloaded stable version 2.3.1 - Problem solved.
I might try a preview again in a couple months but I've found the last couple to be super buggy.
I have Just installed Android Studio Version 2.1 Preview 3 (AI-143.2682553)
When I run my project I get an error, it says:
Could not find com.android.tools.build:gradle:2.1.0-alpha3.
Searched in the following locations:
https://jcenter.bintray.com/com/android/tools/build/gradle/2.1.0-alpha3/gradle-2.1.0-alpha3.pom
https://jcenter.bintray.com/com/android/tools/build/gradle/2.1.0-alpha3/gradle-2.1.0-alpha3.jar
When I look in the Jcenter repository it only has 2.1.0-alpha1 https://jcenter.bintray.com/com/android/tools/build/gradle/
So I get why it can't find alpha3, but when I change the build.gradle to 2.1.0-alpha1 it says:
"The projects is using an incompatible version of the android Gradle plugin.
To continue opening the project, the IDE will update the Android Gradle plugin to version 2.1.0-alpha3"
which doesn't seem to exist right ?
Android Plugin for Gradle version 1.5.0 does not support Instant Run. Please update to version 2.1.0-alpha3
I had the similar problem and I fixed it by update it in android studio,just like this!
after update ,I find out the changes of gradle
dependencies {
classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:2.1.0-alpha3'
// classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:1.5.0'
// NOTE: Do not place your application dependencies here; they belong
// in the individual module build.gradle files
}
buildToolsVersion '24 rc1'//buildToolsVersion "23.0.2"
I had the similar issue with 2.1.0-alpha3 .. my project cannot be complied ..I used earlier version 2.1.0-alpha1 # http://tools.android.com/download/studio/builds/android-studio-2-1-preview-1
By uninstalling and installing older version.
Hope that may help.
This project has been working for weeks. Yesterday, Android Studio pulled in some updates, and now gradle cannot find my play-services files. It has literally stopped building with no changes to the project - I didn't think this would happen with a gradle-based project.
gradle sync error
When I click on "Install Repository and sync project", another window opens with the message:
Ignoring unknown package filter 'extra-google-m2repository'Warning: The package filter removed all packages. There is nothing to install.
Please consider trying to update again without a package filter.
Here is my gradle file:

Looking in my SDK manager, both "Google Repository" and "Android Support Repository" are installed.
SDK manager screen shot
It is possible that I have two different SDK's, but not sure how to tell if I do, and not sure how to remove the extra one if this is the issue.
Removing the "+" and specifying the specific version allows me to build again. I'm actually using 6.5.87, as 8.4.0 caused some other issue.
