Issue

After upgrading Android Studio from 0.8.14 to 1.0 RC4, project Gradle sync fails with error:

Gradle DSL method not found: ‘runProguard()’
Error(16,0)
Possible causes:
• The project ‘<project name>’ may be using a version of Gradle that does not contain the method.
• The build file may be missing a Gradle plugin.

Resolution

To resolve the issue open project’s build.gradle file and replace:

runProguard false

with 

minifyEnabled false

Then re-sync the project.

Android Studio 1.0 RC4
