Gradle build fails following update of Android Studio to 3.1.2

Question

I just updated the Android Studio to 3.1.2 and started experiencing problems building with Gradle. I am getting the following error:

:my-app:transformNativeLibsWithStripDebugSymbolForDebug FAILED

FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

* What went wrong:
Execution failed for task ‘:my-app:transformNativeLibsWithStripDebugSymbolForDebug'.
> A problem occurred starting process 'command '/Users/pavel/Library/Android/sdk/ndk-bundle/toolchains/mips64el-linux-android-4.9/prebuilt/darwin-x86_64/bin/mips64el-linux-android-strip''

* Try:
Run with --stacktrace option to get the stack trace. Run with --info or --debug option to get more log output.

* Get more help at https://help.gradle.org

BUILD FAILED in 7s
26 actionable tasks: 5 executed, 21 up-to-date

Some more info from the error stack:

* Exception is:
org.gradle.api.tasks.TaskExecutionException: Execution failed for task ‘:my-app:transformNativeLibsWithStripDebugSymbolForDebug'.

When attempting to build in command line i succeed. Any idea what went wrong? Thanks!

Might be you have renamed or moved the file, check your directory location. If not, try `Clean`, & `Invalidate & Restart` — Rohit Sharma, May 12 '18 at 02:03

Ok, so I found this: After using android studio 3.1.2 it showing error=2, No such file or directory

I had to uninstall the NDK from Android Studio to make it work

The files are missing on r17

Download r16b https://developer.android.com/ndk/downloads/older_releases#ndk-16b-downloads
Copy the missing files from android-ndk-r16b/toolchains/mips64el-linux-android-4.9/prebuilt/darwin-x86_64 to /Users/XXXXX/Library/Android/sdk/ndk-bundle/toolchains/mips64el-linux-android-4.9/prebuilt/darwin-x86_64/

I suggest you try (one or more of these):

Clean / Rebuild your project.
Invalidate & Restart (from the FILE menu in Android Studio).

If none of these work, then there may be another problem with your gradle/project modules and you’d need to post more information.

Also make sure you “Sync project with gradle” too (should be automatically done after invalidate/restart/clean/rebuild combo but just in case).
