Android Studio

This error indicates that there is a problem with your ZIP file. It could be corrupted, incomplete, or incompatible with your version of Android Studio. Here are some alternatives:

1- Change the Gradle version. You can find available versions here: https://services.gradle.org/distributions/. Make sure it is the bin version, for example: https://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-8.1-bin.zip. Then make sure to change the gradle-wrapper.properties file accordingly.

distributionBase=GRADLE_USER_HOME
distributionUrl=https\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-8.0-bin.zip
distributionPath=wrapper/dists
zipStorePath=wrapper/dists
zipStoreBase=GRADLE_USER_HOME

2- As you changed the Gradle must change it in build.gradle

dependencies {
        classpath "com.android.tools.build:gradle:$agp_version"

3- Delete the .gradle folder in your project directory and reimport the project. This will force Android Studio to download a fresh copy of Gradle.

C:\Users\moriz\.gradle\wrapper\dists
C:\Users\moriz\.gradle\wrapper\dists\gradle-8.0-bin\ca5e32bp14vu59qr306oxotwh

4- Check your project for any ZIP files that could be causing the issue. For example, if you use Bugsnag, you may need to update Dexguard or temporarily disable it.
