Gradle: Could not create plugin of type AppPlugin

Question

I can't seem to build my Android app with Gradle.

build.gradle:

buildscript {
    repositories {
        mavenCentral()
    }
    dependencies {
        classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:0.6.+'
    }
}

apply plugin: 'android'

repositories {
    mavenCentral()
}

dependencies {
    compile 'com.intellij:annotations:12.0'
}

android {
    compileSdkVersion 19
    buildToolsVersion "19"

    defaultConfig {
        minSdkVersion 14
        targetSdkVersion 19
        versionCode = 82
        versionName = "0.6.1"
    }

    sourceSets {
        main {
            manifest.srcFile 'AndroidManifest.xml'
            java.srcDirs = ['src']
            resources.srcDirs = ['src']
            aidl.srcDirs = ['src']
            renderscript.srcDirs = ['src']
            res.srcDirs = ['res']
            assets.srcDirs = ['assets']
        }

        xposedmodule {
            manifest.srcFile 'xposed/AndroidManifest.xml'
            java.srcDirs = ['xposed/src']
            resources.srcDirs = ['xposed/src']
            aidl.srcDirs = ['xposed/src']
            renderscript.srcDirs = ['xposed/src']
            res.srcDirs = ['xposed/res']
            assets.srcDirs = ['xposed/assets']
        }

    }

    /*
    compileOptions {
        sourceCompatibility JavaVersion.VERSION_1_7
        targetCompatibility JavaVersion.VERSION_1_7
    }*/

    signingConfigs {
        release
    }

    buildTypes {
        release {
            signingConfig signingConfigs.release
        }
    }
}

// ~/.gradle/gradle.properties
if (project.hasProperty('keystoreFile') &&
        project.hasProperty('keystorePassword') &&
        project.hasProperty('keystoreAliasPassword')) {
    android.signingConfigs.release.storeFile = file(keystoreFile)
    android.signingConfigs.release.storePassword = keystorePassword
    android.signingConfigs.release.keyPassword = keystoreAliasPassword
    android.signingConfigs.release.keyAlias = keystoreAlias
} else {
    android.buildTypes.release.signingConfig = null
}

//http://stackoverflow.com/questions/16683775/include-so-library-in-apk-in-android-studio
tasks.withType(com.android.build.gradle.tasks.PackageApplication) { pkgTask ->
    pkgTask.jniDir new File(buildDir, 'native-libs')
}

I use Gradle 1.10 and I get the following error when issuing this command:

gradle build.gradle --refresh-dependencies

Error:

Could not create plugin of type 'AppPlugin'

Solution 1

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

Solution 2

In my case, run cmd.exe as Administrator and input gradle command in the cmd console, the error is gone.

so what was the right version of Gradle and were their any steps specific to your project to use unsaid version?

The correct version was 1.6, and I dont think there were.
