cannot sync gradle "No signature of method...is applicable for argument types" (solved)

[Or Dvir]

Posting this in case someone else encounters this problem.

This block:

    compileOptions {
        this.sourceCompatibility(JavaVersion.VERSION_1_8)
        this.targetCompatibility(JavaVersion.VERSION_1_8)
    }

produces this error:

A problem occurred evaluating project ':app'.
> No signature of method: build_bvts92csqxta8zj3w9f3ounsq.android() is applicable for argument types: (build_bvts92csqxta8zj3w9f3ounsq$_run_closure1) values: [build_bvts92csqxta8zj3w9f3ounsq$_run_closure1@5e3f4934]

Solution

remove this keyword:

    compileOptions {
        sourceCompatibility(JavaVersion.VERSION_1_8)
        targetCompatibility(JavaVersion.VERSION_1_8)
    }

Thanks for the report, I think I copy-pasted that part from a kts file.

Fixed. 👍
