java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: com/android/build/gradle/AppPlugin

See original GitHub issue

Gradle 4.4.1, Android Gradle Plugin 3.0.1

I’m trying to add the plugin to https://github.com/hzsweers/CatchUp via the plugins block in the top-level build.gradle file. The build fails with the following error:

FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

* What went wrong:
A problem occurred configuring project ':app'.
> Failed to notify project evaluation listener.
   > Could not resolve all dependencies for configuration ':app:kapt'.
      > A problem occurred configuring project ':bypass'.
         > Failed to notify project evaluation listener.
            > com/android/build/gradle/BaseExtension
   > com/android/build/gradle/BaseExtension

Here’s a part of the stacktrace that looks relevant:

Any special considerations when running the plugin on Android?

If anyone is still facing this issue, then please check the compatibility of Gradle version used in the project and the version of Gradle plugin which studio is using
