Unable to load class 'org.bouncycastle.jce.provider.BouncyCastleProvider'

Question

Everything was running smoothly yesterday, but i am getting this error this morning. I don't think it has anything to do with my gradle file since this error is occurring in all of my projects.

I am getting this error:

Unable to load class 'org.bouncycastle.jce.provider.BouncyCastleProvider'.

Possible causes for this unexpected error include:Gradle's dependency cache may be corrupt (this sometimes occurs after a network connection timeout.)

The state of a Gradle build process (daemon) may be corrupt. Stopping all Gradle daemons may solve this problem.

Your project may be using a third-party plugin which is not compatible with the other plugins in the project or the version of Gradle requested by the project.

I have tried going offline but it does not seem to work. I have also tried 'Invalide cache and restart'. Can any body tell me what the solution could be?

Edit : App level gradle file

 apply plugin: 'com.android.application'

android {
    compileSdkVersion 25
    buildToolsVersion "25.0.2"
    defaultConfig {
        applicationId "in.dreamloft.cplgame2"

I don't want the bouncy castle provider , i dont know where it is getting included from. — Dishonered, Jun 07 '17 at 06:45
can you try `gradlew --refresh-dependencies` from the terminal? — David Rawson, Jun 07 '17 at 06:51
If this dependency is contained inside another library, you can run `./gradlew app:dependencies` and see which library pull it in — MatPag, Jun 07 '17 at 06:52
@David , i have tried refreshing dependencies , but i get the same error. — Dishonered, Jun 07 '17 at 07:00
You could try checking your `libs` directory for corrupted jars — David Rawson, Jun 07 '17 at 07:01
Its not a problem with one project , every single one of my projects is showing the same error. — Dishonered, Jun 07 '17 at 07:13
Did you try [clearing the gradle cache](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/23025433/how-to-clear-gradle-cache#23029580)? — David Rawson, Jun 07 '17 at 07:41
I did, did not work. I am reinstalling Studio now. If it works I will let you know. — Dishonered, Jun 07 '17 at 08:08

There was nothing wrong the gradle file. I had to update the distribution url to the latest version in the gradle-wrapper.properties file to solve the problem.
