title: Local Path doesn't exist Android Studio 1.0
body: <p>I recently downloaded the newest Android Studio 1.0 release and immediately began going through hell to try to get a new project up and running. I created a new Maps Project and as soon as I go to run, it gives me the following:</p>
  
  <pre><code>Waiting for device.
  Target device: motorola-xt1063-ZX1D3226RL
  Uploading file
      local path: C:\Users\Rich\Desktop\WebProjects\AndroidStudioProjects\BlocWork\BlocSpot\app\build\outputs\apk\app-debug.apk
      remote path: /data/local/tmp/com.richluick.blocspot
  Local path doesn't exist.
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Now, I realize that there are similar questions out there, but nothing I try is working. I updated the .iml file like most people have suggested:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?&gt;
  &lt;module external.linked.project.path="$MODULE_DIR$" external.root.project.path="$MODULE_DIR$" external.system.id="GRADLE" type="JAVA_MODULE" version="4"&gt;
    &lt;component name="FacetManager"&gt;
      &lt;facet type="java-gradle" name="Java-Gradle"&gt;
        &lt;configuration&gt;
          &lt;option name="BUILD_FOLDER_PATH" value="$MODULE_DIR$/build" /&gt;
      &lt;option name="APK_PATH" value="/build/apk/blocspot-debug-unaligned.apk" /&gt;
        &lt;/configuration&gt;
      &lt;/facet&gt;
    &lt;/component&gt;
    &lt;component name="NewModuleRootManager" inherit-compiler-output="false"&gt;
      &lt;output url="file://$MODULE_DIR$/build/classes/main" /&gt;
      &lt;output-test url="file://$MODULE_DIR$/build/classes/test" /&gt;
      &lt;exclude-output /&gt;
      &lt;content url="file://$MODULE_DIR$"&gt;
        &lt;excludeFolder url="file://$MODULE_DIR$/.gradle" /&gt;
      &lt;/content&gt;
      &lt;orderEntry type="inheritedJdk" /&gt;
      &lt;orderEntry type="sourceFolder" forTests="false" /&gt;
    &lt;/component&gt;
  &lt;/module&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>That isnt working for me. As others also sugested I tried the <code>gradlew clean  packagedebug --debug</code> command and got the following:</p>

  <p>I have no understanding as to why or how a Null Pointer Exception is being thrown when compiling he gradle. I have been working on this for hours and I just cannot get this to work. I hope somebody can help me with this. The stacktrace from the error is below.</p>
