Not a permanent solution, but to get instant run working again, downgrade your project gradle to

classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.0.1' (instead of 3.1.0) and in your app/build.gradle, downgrade buildTools: buildToolsVersion '27.0.0' (instead of 27.0.3)

This will allow you to use instant run again. hopefully they will fix the issue with 3.1.0 & 27.0.3 in a future release...
