Local Path doesn't exist Android Studio 1.0

Question

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:

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.

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:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<module external.linked.project.path="$MODULE_DIR$" external.root.project.path="$MODULE_DIR$" external.system.id="GRADLE" type="JAVA_MODULE" version="4">
  <component name="FacetManager">
    <facet type="java-gradle" name="Java-Gradle">
      <configuration>
        <option name="BUILD_FOLDER_PATH" value="$MODULE_DIR$/build" />
    <option name="APK_PATH" value="/build/apk/blocspot-debug-unaligned.apk" />
      </configuration>
    </facet>
  </component>
  <component name="NewModuleRootManager" inherit-compiler-output="false">
    <output url="file://$MODULE_DIR$/build/classes/main" />
    <output-test url="file://$MODULE_DIR$/build/classes/test" />
    <exclude-output />
    <content url="file://$MODULE_DIR$">
      <excludeFolder url="file://$MODULE_DIR$/.gradle" />
    </content>
    <orderEntry type="inheritedJdk" />
    <orderEntry type="sourceFolder" forTests="false" />
  </component>
</module>

That isnt working for me. As others also sugested I tried the gradlew clean packagedebug --debug command and got the following:

14:34:14.187 [ERROR] [org.gradle.BuildExceptionReporter]
14:34:14.190 [ERROR] [org.gradle.BuildExceptionReporter] FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

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.

@Maher4Ever Maybe its a bug with the new Android Studio. Did you update to Studio 1.0? — Rich Luick, Dec 09 '14 at 20:44
It seems like it. In the previous Beta version this problem didn't exist. I just updated Android Studio to 1.0 and now I can't even run a new empty project. — Maher4Ever, Dec 09 '14 at 20:47
Yeah same. Hopefully somebody has figured this out. had no problem with the previous versions — Rich Luick, Dec 09 '14 at 21:02
Do [these steps](http://stackoverflow.com/a/19496969/2911458) help at all? — stkent, Dec 09 '14 at 21:30
@stkent it doesnt appear that gradle-wrapper exists in the most recent update, so I do not think that is viable — Rich Luick, Dec 09 '14 at 21:47

Try this. It helped me, FINALLY !!!

close android studio
Download http://goo.gl/v0UPm6
goto \sdk
rename 'tools' to 'tools1' (In case you need backup)
extract this zip to \sdk
it will make tools folder in \sdk
restart studio and errors will be gone

Source: Google Plus

PD: Thank you, Aman ;) PD2: Android SDK Tools 24.0.1 is coming !!!

Well sir, that seems to have done the trick! Looks like the issue is with the sdk. I'll keep an eye out for 24.0.1 – Rich Luick Dec 10 '14 at 15:41

This is how I solved it:

In application's build.gradle file make sure gradle version is atleast 1.1.0 like this:

classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:1.1.0'

and the repositories section contains mavenCentral() instead of jCentral()

Try the following:

If all else fails, revert to v.0.9.3 found on the Canary channel. Hopefully Google sorts out the issue sooner rather than later.

Thanks Stan. I was actually having the same issues when I created a new project from scratch in the new version. In that case, it didn't look like any of that was the issue. For now I'm going to revert to 0.9.3 so I can move forward – Rich Luick Dec 09 '14 at 22:17
