Gradle version not supported after Android Studio update

I am running on Windows 10.

I just updated the Android studio to 3.6, and my app is no longer syncing. I'm getting 3 separate responses for the failure

Caused by: org.gradle.api.internal.plugins.PluginApplicationException: Failed to apply plugin [id 'com.android.internal.version-check']

Caused by: java.lang.RuntimeException: Minimum supported Gradle version is 5.6.4. Current version is 5.4.1. If using the gradle wrapper, try editing the distributionUrl in C:\Users\redacted\redacted\Documents\Android Studio\app\gradle\wrapper\gradle-wrapper.properties to gradle-5.6.4-all.zip

ERROR: Minimum supported Gradle version is 5.6.4. Current version is 5.4.1.

Please fix the project's Gradle settings.

Fix Gradle wrapper and re-import project (Appears as an un-clickable link for me)

Open Gradle wrapper properties (Appears as an un-clickable link for me)

Gradle settings (Appears as an un-clickable link for me)*

Being smart as I am, I checked my gradle-wrapper properties:

distributionBase=GRADLE_USER_HOME
distributionPath=wrapper/dists
zipStoreBase=GRADLE_USER_HOME
zipStorePath=wrapper/dists
distributionUrl=https\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-5.6.4-all.zip

In the project structure, the Gradle version is also correct, 5.6.4.

I have uninstalled and reinstalled Android Studio.

I have also tried running the program on a different machine.

I created a brand new (working!) project to compare the gradle-wrapper properties file and everything matches.

Please help me out if you can.

I followed the advice of these awesome Flutter error messages and simply replaced in my project's file <project>/android/gradle/wrapper/gradle-wrapper.properties the line distributionUrl=https\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-5.6.2-all.zip by distributionUrl=https\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-6.1.1-all.zip (thereby only changing the version of the employed gradle module).

That solved the issue.

Yes, it just ignores what is in gradle-wrapper.properties. After a week of frustration and trying dozens of different solutions that didn't solve it...

  1. Create a new 3.6.1 dummy project and Gradle Sync to force download of the new Gradle distribution.

  2. Then in File -> Settings -> Gradle, set Use Gradle from to Specified location and set the full path of where your gradle is (e.g. C:\Users\Duncan\.gradle\wrapper\dists\gradle-5.6.4-all\ankdp27end7byghfw1q2sw75f\gradle-5.6.4). And finally it works again!

  3. Then you can delete the new dummy project.

Why is Android Studio / Gradle so ridiculously overcomplicated and unreliable ? Every upgrade is a nightmare.

I renamed the project directory and re-imported the project, and it worked. Then I changed it back to the old name and it continued working. Magic!

P.S. BTW I also deleted all the .iml files .idea .gradle files gradle gradlew gradlew.bat files also.

Update as to how I resolved the situation. I started a brand new project, and copied over all the Kotlin and XML code. I'm still not sure what went wrong.
