I had the same problem and using local gradle distribution didn't work for me either. I ended up finding the solution here Gradle DSL method not found: 'runProguard'

Anything above gradle version 0.14.0 has to use minifyEnabled instead of runProguard in your projects build.gradle file. Here is how it should look :

buildTypes {

    release {

        minifyEnabled false
        proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.txt'
    }
}
