Answer 1

I had the same problem after updating Android Studio to 1.0 RC 3. I could not import the project into the new version. I had to create a new project and manually add files to the new project from the previous project.

After that, I found a change in the gradle build file.

Here is the change:

 buildTypes { release { minifyEnabled false proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro' } } 

Instead of "runProguard false" use "minifyEnabled false"

Answer 2

There is an update from Android Studio, you need to transfer Gradle configurations: http://tools.android.com/tech-docs/new-build-system/migrating-to-1-0-0

• Replace runProguard with minifyEnabled
• Replace zipAlign with zipAlignEnabled
• etc...

Answer 3

Instead of using runProguard in your gradle file, try using minifyEnabled. This should solve the problem. runProguard is deprecated and will soon stop working.

NOTE. - To use minifyEnabled, gradle must be upgraded to version 2.2 or higher.

Answer 4

Works for me (after upgrading to 1.0 "final"):

 buildTypes { release { minifyEnabled false proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro' } } 

It is also necessary to update: Gradle 2.2 (or higher), "SDK-Tools", Support Repository, Support Library, Services, Services, etc., etc.,

Answer 5

don't forget to change all renderscriptSupportMode to renderscriptSupportModeEnabled!

Also who in all your libs projects

Answer 6

you need to do a couple of things to go from 0.9 to 1.0 see http://tools.android.com/tech-docs/new-build-system/migrating-to-1-0-0
