Answer 1

tldr: Remove "buildSrc" from settings.gradle / settings.gradle.kts. With gradle update, "buildSrc" is now reserved project name.

If you are looking an answer for Android, this should be helpful:

1. Open your settings.gradle / settings.gradle.kts
2. Remove "buildSrc" from included modules
3. Rebuild

Example:

settings.gradle.kts might look like this (syntax will be different for settings.gradle)

include(":app")
rootProject.name = "yourapp"
include(":moduleA")
include(":buildSrc")
include(":moduleB")
include(":moduleC")

remove the line that includes "buildSrc" like:

include(":app")
rootProject.name = "yourapp"
include(":moduleA")
include(":moduleB")
include(":moduleC")

and rebuild project.
