After Android Studio update: Gradle DSL method not found: 'runProguard()'

I\'ve just updated my Android Studio and now my project won\'t build anymore. I get following error:

Error:(16, 0) G

As @stkent said, runProguard has been renamed to minifyEnabled in version 0.14.0 (2014/10/31) of Gradle.

To fix this, you need to change runProguard to minifyEnabled in the build.gradle file of your project. For example,

buildTypes {
    release {
        runProguard false // Does not exist anymore...
        proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.txt'
    }
}

would be replaced by

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

You can see other issues here but this worked for me.
