like @Vacexe said, this is dexcount plugin's bug.

You can resovle this problem by update dexcount plugin version to 2.0.0:

classpath 'com.getkeepsafe.dexcount:dexcount-gradle-plugin:2.0.0'

I have the same issue in our project after uplift gradle plugin to 4.1.0 version and it has been solved by removing this plugin

apply plugin: 'com.getkeepsafe.dexcount'
  • Firstly check what a plugin in use in your project
  • Secondly try to recompile without it to find a tricky one

They removed some deprecated methods from the DSL. So not-up-to-date plugins will crash miserably on this update. In fact, issue can come from any gradle plugin that uses deprecated methods from the gradle Android DSL. Just run

$ ./gradlew clean assemble --stacktrace

to understand what plugin calls a deprecated (removed) method, and in general this plugin has a more recent version that no longer uses the deprecated DSL method. In my case, this was junit5, but one has to do the per-case verification.

could not create task ':app:generateLintModuleInfo'

I had this above problem when i created a new project in android studio. I visited stackoverflow got this question.

then as i didn't got anything i tried to compare build.gradle(:app) files of previously successfully build projects I saw that, their was this extra line

 buildToolsVersion "31.0.0"

you will get it bellow compileSdkVersion. just remove above line and sync the gradle file. for me everything worked smoothly later.

could not create task ':app:generateLintModuleInfo'

I had this above problem when i created a new project in android studio. i tried to change gradle version from 4.2.1 to 3.4.3 in project gradle,then it build successfully.like this-

 dependencies {
  classpath "com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.4.3"}

i think this problem is something wrong appears in gradle version and buildToolsVersion etc,when i creat a new project,it use the leatest android version in default,now is targetSdkVersion 32.

This happened to me when I updated to Android Studio 4.1 and then I changed back to previous settings and everything is working now.
