Error com.google.android.gms/play-services/8.4.0/ gradle:2.0.0-alpha5

After updating the SDK AndroidStudio told me to update to gradle:2.0.0-alpha5. When I build/run the app gradle fails and says:

Error:Execution failed for task ':app:compileReleaseJavaWithJavac'. java.io.FileNotFoundException: /home/pepperonas/IdeaProjects/Android/M104/app/build/intermediates/exploded-aar/com.google.android.gms/play-services/8.4.0/jars/classes.jar (No such file or directory)

Downgrading to gradle:2.0.0-alpha3 will solve it, but I want to use the newest version.

Does any body know how to fix it?

(Note: I use AndroidStudio 2.0 Preview 5)

As always, thanks in advance.

Updating will do the trick.

Unfortunately, you are the not the only one with this issue. There seems to be some bug on the alpha5 build for the Gradle build tools. There is already a ticket created on the Android Bug Tracker.

More info: https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=198937

In the meantime alpha3 build tool is the way to go about. I am doing the same thing as of now until the issue is resolved in the next release.

Hope this helps.
