Gradle build daemon disappeared unexpectedly… Android Studio 4.0.1

Question

Whenever I run a project in Android Studio 4.0.1 I get the following error:

Gradle build daemon disappeared unexpectedly (it may have been killed or may have crashed)

I have tried:

• adding org.gradle.jvmargs=-Xmx1024m to my ~/.gradle/gradle.properties file
• "Clear/Invalidate caches"
• adding file.encoding=utf-8 to my ~/.gradle/gradle.properties file
• using org.gradle.daemon=false in my ~/.gradle/gradle.properties file
• deleting the.gradle file
• closing all instances of Android studio
• the solutions in this post

and none have worked.

Does anyone have any idea why this is happening and how I can fix it?

Answer 1

Downgrade Gradle to version 5.3

./gradlew wrapper --gradle-version=5.3

This fixed the issue for me.
