Plugin is too old, please update to a more recent version, or set ANDROID_DAILY_OVERRIDE environment variable

Question

Showing this error on running my project, I tried all the solution available but it's not working. The only thing left is to set the ANDROID_DAILY_OVERRIDE environment variable, but I am struggling to do so.

How I can set ANDROID_DAILY_OVERRIDE environment variable on a mac?

Answer 1

Change your build.gradle file to

classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:2.0.0-alpha6'

Also navigate to to yourProjectPath/Gradle/wrapper and open the gradle-wrapper.properties

Change distributionURL with

distributionUrl=https\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-2.10-all.zip

I hope this helps

Answer 2

Since you asked how to set the environment variable on OS X here it goes:

launchctl setenv ANDROID_DAILY_OVERRIDE <your-value-on-error-message>

Restart Android Studio and the project will build again.

Answer 3

change classpath in gradle from

classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:2.0.0-beta6'

to:

classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:1.5.0'

then restart its work for me for android studio 2.0 Beta 6
