Android Studio Could not initialize class org.codehaus.groovy.runtime.InvokerHelper

Question

Please make changes as per below to resolve this error.

Install Java SDK version: 14 or above.

JDK Download link: https://www.oracle.com/java/technologies/javase-jdk14-downloads.html

In gradle-wrapper.properties please use grade version 6.3 or above.

For e.g:distributionUrl=https\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-6.3-all.zip

1. This is because of the gradle version.

2. Go to: gradle/wrapper/gradle-wrapper.properties.

3. Change a version of the course by this:

distributionUrl=https\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-6.3-all.zip

The console outputs:

Welcome to Gradle 6.3!

Here are the highlights of this release:
 - Java 14 support
 - Improved error messages for unexpected failures

For more details see https://docs.gradle.org/6.3/release-notes.html

Starting a Gradle Daemon (subsequent builds will be faster)

First watch this and try reinstall - https://youtu.be/trHinrIm6DM

After if you get "Could not initialize class org.codehaus.groovy.runtime.InvokerHelper"

1.install Java SDK 14 and update env path.

2."[Your RN or Flutter Project Folder]\android\gradle\wrapper\gradle-wrapper.properties" this file edit as ...(upgrade gradle version)

distributionBase=GRADLE_USER_HOME
distributionPath=wrapper/dists
zipStoreBase=GRADLE_USER_HOME
zipStorePath=wrapper/dists
distributionUrl=https\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-6.3-all.zip

3.run gradlew in cmd path "[Your RN or Flutter Project Folder]\android\"

4.it takes time.after if shows "BUILD SUCCESSFUL" you can "flutter run" in ur project folder

Yeah It's work 👍

What was helpful for me (MacBook):

• first go to File -> Invalidate Caches / Restart -> Invalidate and Restart
• then check the value of JAVA_HOME enviroment variable, by calling echo $JAVA_HOME (it should be equal to "/Applications/Android Studio.app/Contents/jre/jdk/Contents/Home")
• if it is not, change its value by calling export JAVA_HOME="/Applications/Android Studio.app/Contents/jre/jdk/Contents/Home"

I faced this issue because of lower version of Jdk. Previously I installed Jdk 1.7 and Android Studio 1.5.1, I got this issue. If you install Android Studio 1.5.1 or above JDK 1.8 required

So Installing JDK 1.8 solved this issue.
