Plugin with id 'com.android.application' not found issue

Question

I am using android studio version 3.2.1. I am facing an error in the Plugin with id 'com.android.application' not found.

apply plugin: 'com.android.application'

android {
    compileSdkVersion 27
    buildToolsVersion '28.0.3'

    defaultConfig {
        applicationId "ru.ifsoft.chat"
        minSdkVersion 15

        versionName '3.9'

        }
    }

    lintOptions {
        checkReleaseBuilds false
        // Or, if you prefer, you can continue to check for errors in release builds,
        // but continue the build even when errors are found:
        abortOnError false
    }

    productFlavors {

It sounds like your Gradle version isn't aligning with your Gradle Plugin version. Check the solution here and give it a shot: https://stackoverflow.com/a/25232725/4592960 — SharpMobileCode, Jan 09 '19 at 02:10

It could be you misplaced a curly bracket in your project-level build.gradle.

    buildscript {
        ext.kotlin_version = '1.3.50'
        repositories {
            google()
                maven {url 'https://maven.fabric.io/public'}
            jcenter()

            dependencies {
                classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.5.2'
                classpath "org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-gradle-plugin:$kotlin_version"
                classpath 'com.google.gms:google-services:4.3.3'
                classpath 'com.google.firebase:perf-plugin:1.3.1'
                classpath 'io.fabric.tools:gradle:1.31.2'
            }
        }
    } //this is the important bracket, because it closes the buildscript

    allprojects {
        repositories {
            google()
            jcenter()
        }
    }
    [...]

If this doesn't work try to invalidating the cache a restarting in the file-menu.

I hope i am helping
