Upgrading Gradle worked for me…

Modified build.gradle in the root android folder

 buildscript {
     repositories {
         ....
         google()
     }
     dependencies {
         ....
         classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.0.1'
     }
 }

Also had to modify gradle/wrapper/gradle-wrapper.properties off the root Android folder

To make sure gradle package was updated

distributionUrl=https\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-4.1-all.zip

And that seemed to work without any issues.
