This bug has been fixed according to Google dev blog: http://tools.android.com/tech-docs/new-build-system

2.0.0-alpha6 (2016/1/15)
Instant Run 
Fix alpha5 reported issues :
    - cannot build when importing play-services.

You should update android gradle tools version

dependencies {
    classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:2.0.0-alpha6'
}

If you want the latest build tools this is the way to go. IMO this should be the accepted answer, as downgrading something is not much of a persistent solution. – McFarlane Jan 19 '16 at 08:30
I am still getting the following message after adding the dependency as described above `Error:Cause: failed to find target with hash string 'Google Inc.:Google APIs:23' in: D:\Android\sdk Open Android SDK Manager` – the_gesslar Feb 16 '16 at 05:30

This exception is thrown during a failed attempt to open the file denoted by a specified Path-name.

You can use

   compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services:8.3.0'

Update your classpath

 classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:2.0.0-alpha2'

}

and

compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services:8.3.0'

This is a workaround (by using older versions), not a solution. The solution is to use gradle plugin version 2.0.0-alpha6 which fixes this problem, as answered by @ArL. – Jason Hartley Jan 21 '16 at 04:59

i tried to import admob ads to a new app i was making and i ran into this problem...... i found the solution the be the StartAppInApp file being located in the wrong spot or not being there..... my app needed the StartAppInApp-3.1.1.jar file to be located in the libs folder and when i looked at my app there was no libs folder located there at all .....

open your main app folder... then click app and you should have 3 folders.... src ... build.... and libs .....

in my case there was no libs folder..... so i created the libs folder and then went and copied the StartAppInApp-3.1.1.jar file from a different android project i had and i pasted it to the new libs folder i made in my current project... the error is now GONE!

i also made sure to include

compile files('libs/StartAppInApp-3.1.1.jar')

in the dependencies of my app gradle file

not sure if this is a solid answer but if anyone has this problem double check your StartAppInApp-3.1.1.jar location and version and check your gradle dependencies
