Previous Answer

It happens after I updated Android Studio to 3.3.0. apply plugin: 'io.fabric' is the cause. I have sent a bug report to Firebase team about this issue.

You have 3 options:

• Wait until the next version of Fabric plugin is released. Check the latest version here.

• Downgrade to Android Studio 3.2.1.

• Comment out io.fabric plugin.

In build.gradle of your app's module:

apply plugin: 'com.android.application'
// apply plugin: 'io.fabric' <== this plugin causes the error

However, you can still build and run your projects even though this error appears. Just ignore it.
