Answer 1

Please change your classpath dependency in project level Gradle:

buildscript {

    dependencies {

         classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.1.4'
    }
 }

I am using it. It is working fine. This is a stable version. Hope this issue will be fixed in the future version of this dependency.

Answer 2

Two versions of the Google Services Gradle Plugin (4.3.0 & 4.3.1) are causing this, upgrading the version to 4.3.2 seems to solve the issue;

---

In your project-level build.gradle file, under buildscript -> dependencies, check whether you have this line

classpath 'com.google.gms:google-services:4.3.x'

if so, change it to

classpath 'com.google.gms:google-services:4.3.3'

Edit: Click here to check the newest version. (4.3.3) at time of Edit.
