If your failing plugin support explicitly setting file path, it might be a work around.

I had problems with Fabrics crashlyticsUploadDistributionRelease task, giving me the same stack trace as above. I fixed it by explicitly setting the output file path property in app/build.gradle:

ext.betaDistributionApkFilePath = "app/build/outputs/apk/release/app-release.apk"
