Answer 1

I got around this by using gradle 4.3 (with Android Studio 3.0)

To use it with Android Studio 3.0:

1. Download the binary here: https://gradle.org/releases/
2. Configure local gradle binary in Android Studio, under preferences...

3. Then in your gradle file replace compile with either implementation or api depending on your requirements.

ALSO: make sure that your external modules (i.e util) have the same flavors as your App or you will get the error outlined in here: Gradle 4.0 Unable to find a matching configuration
