I had the same problem after updating android studio to 1.0 RC 3. I couldn't import my project to new version. i had to create a new project and add the files to the new project from the previous project manually.

After that I found a change in the gradle build file.

Here is the change:

buildTypes {     release {         minifyEnabled false         proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'     } } 

Instead of "runProguard false" use "minifyEnabled false"
