Hello, Follow these steps...

  1. Uninstall Android Studio
  2. Go to C:\Users\username and delete the .gradle folder. Infact delete all the folders related to Android Studio
  3. Install Android Studio again.

The problem should be solved. I had the same issue and I tried uninstalling and installing Android Studio several times but it didn't help. Deleting the .gradle folder and other Android Studio related folders and then installing back solved the problem.

this did not eliminate the sync error for me. Any other suggestions? After doing it I am still getting the error. The message is:

"Gradle DSL method not found:'runProguard()' Possible causes:

  • The project 'Interactive Story' may be using a version of Gradle that does not contain the method.
  • The build file may be missing a Gradle plugin."

Thanks Mohammed for the help!!
