Android build.gradle Error: "Cannot invoke method android() on null object"

I tried to change the app's version in build.gradle and when I tried to sync the console shows "Cannot invoke method android() on null object" error (At line 1) and "com.android.builder.errors.EvalIssueException: compileSdkVersion is not specified. Please add it to build.gradle". If I try to revert to the old changes the error appears the same.

apply plugin: 'com.android.application'android {
compileSdkVersion 29
buildToolsVersion "30.0.1"

defaultConfig {
    applicationId "com.x.y"
    minSdkVersion 16
    targetSdkVersion 29
    versionCode 2
    versionName "1.1"
    testInstrumentationRunner "androidx.test.runner.AndroidJUnitRunner"
}
buildTypes {
    release {
        minifyEnabled false
        proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android-optimize.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
    }
}}

You're missing a newline.

apply plugin: 'com.android.application'android {

should be

apply plugin: 'com.android.application'
android {
