Answer 1

Android Studio 3.2.1+

To bigin with upgrade your Gradle Plugin as following

classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.2.1'

If you after upgrading you are facing following error:

Could not find com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.2.1.

You need to just add google() to your repositories as following:

repositories {
    google()
    jcenter()
