android studio 3.0 Canary 1 : project refresh failed

Question

I tried to load my project in this new Android Studio 3.0 Canary 1. It was running perfectly in my previous Android Studio Version 2.4 preview 7

Answer 1

  flavorDimensions "mode"
productFlavors {
    dev {
        // Assigns this product flavor to the "mode" flavor dimension.
        dimension "mode"
        versionName "1.2"
        versionCode 02
    }
    uat {
        // Assigns this product flavor to the "mode" flavor dimension.
        dimension "mode"
        versionName "1.2"
        versionCode 2
    }
    live {
        // Assigns this product flavor to the "mode" flavor dimension.
        dimension "mode"
        versionName "1.0.1"
        versionCode 01
    }
}

This is working for me !! In your case you should just make a flavorDimensions variable and assign the value inside the dev block

flavorDimensions "anyvalue"

dev.initWith(buildTypes.debug)

    dev {
        dimension "anyvalue"
        applicationIdSuffix ".dev"
    }

This should help .
