Cannot change strategy of configuration ':testCompile' after it has been resolved

Question

when I upgraded my google-services version to 4.1.0 and gms:play-services-maps:16.0.0 getting below error during building the project.

A problem occurred evaluating root project ':app'.
> Failed to apply plugin [id 'com.google.gms.google-services']
    > Cannot change strategy of configuration ':testCompile' after it has been resolved.

Below is my build.gradle

buildscript {
repositories {
    flatDir {
        dirs './lib'
    }
    google()
    jcenter()

}
dependencies {
    classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.0.1'
    classpath 'com.google.gms:google-services:4.1.0'
    classpath 'com.google.android.gms:strict-version-matcher-plugin:1.0.2'
}
}

apply plugin: 'com.android.application'
apply plugin: 'com.google.android.gms.strict-version-matcher-plugin'
apply from: './jacoco.gradle'

repositories {
flatDir {
    dirs './lib'
}
google()
jcenter()
}

    release {

}

testOptions {
    unitTests.returnDefaultValues = true
    unitTests.includeAndroidResources = true

}

task downloadDependencies(type: Exec) {
// by removing this line able to build successfully , but i dont want to remove as this is legacy code.

configurations.testCompile.files 
commandLine 'echo', 'Downloaded all dependencies'
}

apply plugin: 'com.google.gms.google-services'

I tried by upgrading google-services version to 4.2.0 and gms: maps to 16.1.0. No luck. I fixed all dependency problems with respect to upgrading compile sdk version to 28. So the above build is almost final except this issue alone.

use classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.2.1' – Appearance

if you remove this then ? task downloadDependencies(type: Exec) { // by removing this line able to build successfully , but i dont want to remove as this is legacy code. configurations.testCompile.files commandLine 'echo', 'Downloaded all dependencies' } – Appearance

@IntelliJAmiya I tried with 3.2.1. Got some other issues w.r.t compilation. Will try again. And this downloadDependencies() used for jenkin stuffs. So i dont want to remove those. – Academia

Tried with build:gradle:3.2.1. Same error. Will try by adding androidExtensions – Academia

Moving plugin declaration to the top solved for me. I got the error when I tried to add

androidExtensions {
    experimental = true
}

I tried adding androidExtension{experimental=true} in all the places like after apply plugin, inside android {....} etc.. Its giving me "Could not find method androidExtensions() for arguments" error. Any plugin we need to add to use this property ? I think this will work when we are using "'kotlin-android-extensions'" plugin. – Academia

I'm trying to find options without adding kotlin stuffs. – Academia
