Could not get unknown property 'file' for project ':app' of type org.gradle.api.Project

I keep getting this error in the app project on my Music Streaming App:

Could not get unknown property 'file' for project ':app' of type org.gradle.api.Project.

I would like to know what i am doing wrong. I keep getting stuck no matter what i try.

Here is the App Project from Android Studio.

apply plugin: 'kotlin-kapt'

App: Could not get unknown property 'file' for project ':app' of type org.gradle.api.Project.

The issue is in this line:

def initFabricPropertiesIfNeeded() {
    def propertiesFile = file
    //....
}

You can check the official doc.

The Project.file(java.lang.Object) method is used to create a file or directory path relative to the current project and is a common way to make build scripts work regardless of the project path.

You have to change your script in something like:

def propertiesFile = file('myFile.properties')

(may be but I can't be sure def propertiesFile = file('fabric.properties'))
