Problem

 

While compiling your android application you find the error below:

 

A problem occurred evaluating project ': app'. > Failed to apply plugin [id 'com.android.internal.application']> The option 'android.enableUnitTestBinaryResources' is deprecated. The current default is 'false'. It has been removed from the current version of the Android Gradle plugin. The raw resource for unit test functionality is removed.

 

If this is your case, the help would be much simpler than it seems.

 

 

Solution

 

To solve this problem just remove the script line below from the file gradle.properties

android.enableUnitTestBinaryResources = true

 

The file gradle.properties is at the root of your project. It is difficult to miss it.
