Error:Execution failed for task ':cloudsdk:transformClassesWithRetrolambdaForDebug'

Question

when I'm running the existing project code after updating android studio to 3.0, I'm getting following error:

Error: Execution failed for task ':cloudsdk:transformiClassesWithRetrolambdaForDebug'. > Missing javaCompileTask for variant: debug/0 from output dir:

Answer 1

Updating the version of retrolambda to 3.7.0 fixed this issue for me. Replace the line in build.gradle in the dependencies {} with the following:

classpath "me.tatarka:gradle-retrolambda:3.7.0"
