EDIT

Starting with Android Studio 3.1, you should go to:

File -> Sync Project with Gradle Files

Clicking the button 'Sync Project With Gradle Files' should do the trick:

Tools -> Android -> Sync Project with Gradle Files

If that fails, try running 'Rebuild project':

Build -> Rebuild Project

Old Answer

When trying to run the application, instead of selecting the directory highlighted here in blueenter image description here

I selected the subdirectory instead

enter image description here

and clicked "run".All the issues with Gradle are automatically resolved and the missing apk directory is automatically created.

New Solution

The Sync project with gradle files button disappeared from Android Studio for a while.Its back and you can find it here:

hit the button and wait for the task to complete
