. - Check the
build.gradle
file: Verify that theandroid
block in yourbuild.gradle
file has the correct configuration. Specifically, check that thedefaultConfig

property. - Try restarting Android Studio: Sometimes, a simple restart can resolve the issue.
- Check for conflicts with other plugins: If you have other plugins installed, try disabling them one by one to see if any of them are causing the issue.
