I was facing the same problem and was not able to figure out what exactly causes this problem.

But removing the whole .gradle folder (/home/$USER/.gradle in my case) and rebuilding the app fixed it.

I noticed that many users (me included) faced this issue using the 3.3 gradle version; update to 3.5 and it will be fine
