org.gradle.tooling.model.UnsupportedMethodException: Unsupported method: AndroidArtifact.getBuildConfigFields()

Question

I was building my android project on Android Studio 4.2.1. but I get this error:

org.gradle.tooling.model.UnsupportedMethodException: Unsupported method: 
    AndroidArtifact.getBuildConfigFields().
    The version of Gradle you connect to does not support that method.
    To resolve the problem you can change/upgrade the target version of Gradle you connect to.
    Alternatively, you can ignore this exception and read other information from the model.

my Gradle version:

distributionUrl=https\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-6.4.1-bin.zip

my Gradle plugin tools version:

com.android.tools.build:gradle:4.1.0-alpha09

The both Gradle and Gradle plugin are the latest versions. The exception says that I need to update/change the connected Gradle version.

I am impossible to upgrade further version because I am already on the latest version. So, the only thing I can do is changing the grade version, but which one?

Answer 1

I was able to build project successfully by using :

classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:4.0.0'

But if you are trying to use jetpack compose you will have to use latest canary version of android studio.
