After update to Android Studio 2.2 / gradle plugin 2.2.0: “could not get unknown property 'assembleRelease'”

Question

After updating Android Studio to version 2.2 and the Gradle-plugin to 2.2.0, I get following error:

Answer 1

You may rewrite your task a bit and try like this:

task renameBuildTask() << {
  file('build/outputs/apk/app-release.apk').renameTo("AppName-1.0.0-${project.ext.androidVersionCode}.apk")
  dependsOn 'assembleRelease'
}

Also you can check this question to get better understanding.

EDIT

As @tangens said in a comment:

It works when I replace the call gradle assemble by e.g. gradle renameBuildTask. Thank you! The answer contains an error. Correct would be: task renameBuildTask() << { ... }
