Gradle build error with Android 23 and instant run

[hiteshsahu]

The App is using older SDK and gradle for compiling the project which is causing build error with Android Studio using latest Android SDK.

Solution

Update your Project level gradle

// Top-level build file where you can add configuration options common to all sub-projects/modules.
buildscript {
    repositories {
        jcenter()
    }
    dependencies {
        classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:2.2.2'

    }
}

allprojects {
    repositories {
        jcenter()
    }
}

App level gradle

apply plugin: 'com.android.application'
android {
    compileSdkVersion 23
    buildToolsVersion "23.0.3"

    defaultConfig {
        applicationId "com.nordicsemi.nrfUARTv2"
        minSdkVersion 18
        targetSdkVersion 23
    }

    buildTypes {
        release {
            minifyEnabled false
            proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.txt'
        }
    }
}

dependencies {
    compile 'com.android.support:support-v4:23.0.0'
}
