2. Solution
solution #1
by Figsky:
Change to
distributionUrl=https://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-6.1.1-all.zip in file gradle-wrapper.properties
and then change to
classpath ‘com.android.tools.build:gradle:4.0.1’ in file build.gradle (Project)
it works!
solution #2
Upgrade the android studio, e.g. upgrade it from 2021.1.1 to 2021.2.1 patch 2 download it here: https://developer.android.com/studio/archive
