Answer 1

For me the problem seemed to be caused by the android build tools

To fix, I had to downgrade these in mu projects top level build.gradle file

-        classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.1.0'
+        classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.0.1'

I'm aware this is not the best solution, but so far the only thing that worked for me.

EDIT: Alternatively, add android.enableD8=false to your project gradle.properties file
