To fix it change your Gradle version to match the one of listed here:


  1. Go to Player Settings → Publishing Settings and enable Custom Base Gradle Template flag.
  2. Go to Assets→ Plugins → Android → baseProjectTemplate.gradle, open the file and change classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.6.0' to 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.6.4'.

    If you have already been using gradle plugin 4.0.1 version or higher, no change is required.
