buildTypes cannot be applied to groovy.lang.Closure

Question

I\'m getting this warning in my project gradle file:

Warning:(16, 5) \'buildTypes\' cannot be applied to \'(groovy.lang.Closure< com.android.build.

Answer 1

All I had to do to remove

productFlavors {
}

From

buildTypes {
        release {
            minifyEnabled false
            proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
        }
    }
    productFlavors {
    }
}

and the warning went away.

Final look was like this

buildTypes {
        release {
            minifyEnabled false
            proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
        }
    }
}
