NoClassDefFoundError after AndroidStudio upgrade to 1.0 (December 8th)

Question

with previous versions of Android Studio working properly with Release Candidate 4 (December 4th) or newer:

FATAL EXCEPTION: main

 java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: com.google.android.gms.location.LocationClient

it seems to me that it is related to update 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:1.0.0 '

This looks similar: https://github.com/robolectric/robolectric/issues/1136

Edit

working : compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services:6.1.+'

This isn't XML. Your NoClassDefFound may have nothing to do with how you build, since it's in runtime. Do you have an XML where you define fragments and everything? — maksimov, Dec 11 '14 at 08:32
all files XML are correct, I changed nothing in the project, only updated the Android Studio, with an older version of Android studio working properly, i changed only `classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:1.0.0'` because Android Studio forced me to change — Kamil Nękanowicz, Dec 11 '14 at 08:39
of course and all the tricks on the web, when i bulid project with old verssion Android Studio then working with out problems — Kamil Nękanowicz, Dec 11 '14 at 08:49

This has nothing to do with gradle. It's an update for Google Play Services. The LocationClient class has been replaced with the new FusedLocationProviderApi.

Check this answer: Android play services 6.5: LocationClient is missing

Try with this :

dependencies 
{
    classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:1.0.0+'
    classpath 'com.jakewharton.sdkmanager:gradle-plugin:0.9.+'
}

And also do

    buildTypes 
   {
        release 
       {
            minifyEnabled false
            proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-    rules.txt'
        }
    }
