title: Failed to build android project using gradle
body: <p>I am having trouble building a simple android project using Gradle. My build file is below:</p>
  
  <pre><code>buildscript {
      repositories {
        mavenCentral()
        // To use a development snapshot version of the plugin, add the
        // Sonatype Snapshots repository.
        maven {
          url "https://oss.sonatype.org/content/repositories/snapshots"
        }
      }
  
      dependencies {
        classpath 'org.gradle.api.plugins:gradle-android-plugin:1.2.1'
      }
    }
  
    apply plugin: 'android'
  
    repositories {
        mavenCentral()
    }
  
    // Sets the package version
    version = "1.0.0"
  
  
  
    // Signing configuration, valid for all builds (1)
    androidSignAndAlign {
      keyStore = "path/to/my/keystore"
      keyAlias = "my-key-alias"
      keyStorePassword = "mystorepass"
      keyAliasPassword = "myaliaspass"
    }
  
    // Configure the filtering of resources with properties from the Gradle's project scope (2)
    processResources {
      expand (project.properties)
    }
  
    // Configure a dedicated debug build (3)
    task configureDebug &lt;&lt; {
      jar.classifier = "debug"
    }
  
    // Configure a dedicated release build (4)
    task configureRelease &lt;&lt; {
      proguard.enabled = true
    }
