Yes I tried clean project, invalidate cache and restart. – Estate

yes I tried, but it is not working. – Estate

The issue is resolved after updating the project-level build Gradle. classpath 'com.android.tools:r8:1.7.23-dev' in dependencies and maven { url 'storage.googleapis.com/r8-releases/raw' } in repositories. – Estate

Answer 1

I also got a similar problem for a specific project after upgrading to android studio 3.6.1. I tried a couple of things but what worked for me was removing the following line top-level build file

classpath 'com.android.tools:r8:1.5.70'

That doesn't work for me. I get the error "Caused by: org.gradle.internal.resolve.ModuleVersionNotFoundException: Could not find com.android.tools:r8:1.7.23-dev" – Wearisome
