My app is not able to build due to com.android.application plugin missing in android studio?

Question

//this is my build.gradle file, plz help.
def var = buildscript {
    ext.kotlin_version = '1.2.30'
    repositories {
        google()
        maven { url "https://maven.google.com" }
        jcenter()
    }
    dependencies {
        classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.1.2'
        classpath "org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-gradle- 
        plugin:$kotlin_version"
    }
    allprojects {
        repositories {
            google()
            jcenter()
        }
    }
    task clean(type: Delete) {
        delete rootProject.buildDir
    }
}
apply plugin: 'com.android.application'
apply plugin: 'kotlin-android'
apply plugin: 'kotlin-android-extensions'

I tried updating plugins too. It tells that my build configuration is incorrect and anyway I build shows error.this is config. setting img

debug type is set to auto and advanced profiling is enabled.

already tried and added 3 lines at the end too but problem is same – Rishabh Kumar Bhardwaj Jun 01 '18 at 10:28
@RishabhKumarBhardwaj clean + rebuild. Invalidate cache if necessary – Sagar Jun 01 '18 at 10:28
yes sir I did that too but did not resolved. i searched on other answers as well but could not resolve. – Rishabh Kumar Bhardwaj Jun 01 '18 at 10:30
error comes as soon build starts, I tried rebuild too. – Rishabh Kumar Bhardwaj Jun 01 '18 at 10:32
@RishabhKumarBhardwaj is it the same error? `Could not get unknown property 'android' for task ...` – Sagar Jun 01 '18 at 10:33
how to invalidate cache ? – Rishabh Kumar Bhardwaj Jun 01 '18 at 10:34
`Go to File -> Invalidate caches / Restart -> Invalidate and restart` – Sagar Jun 01 '18 at 10:35
error is : "Caused by: org.gradle.api.plugins.UnknownPluginException: Plugin with id 'com.android.application' not found. " – Rishabh Kumar Bhardwaj Jun 01 '18 at 10:35
yes it is project level not module level. first error coming from project level only. invalidating cache too gave same problem – Rishabh Kumar Bhardwaj Jun 01 '18 at 10:42
with updated answer, error is gone but same error appeared in module level gradle file. and If i remove 3 lines from that too, it does not recognics android() method – Rishabh Kumar Bhardwaj Jun 01 '18 at 10:47
@RishabhKumarBhardwaj keep those lines at top and clean and rebuild. – Sagar Jun 01 '18 at 10:50
same prolem. And also see my gradle wrapper properties distributionUrl=https\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-4.4-all.zip may it cause problem ? – Rishabh Kumar Bhardwaj Jun 01 '18 at 10:57
I copied and pasted gradle files of both project and module level from a new test project of android studio. Now it worked finally but i may miss something later. but write now this super method is helpful. – Rishabh Kumar Bhardwaj Jun 01 '18 at 11:30
Thats strange. But as long as its working its great! Enjoy coding – Sagar Jun 01 '18 at 11:32
