I tried changing Gradle versions but still tucked here.

Here are my project configurations

Android Gradle plugin version   : 3.2.1
Gradle version                  : 4.8.1
Kotin version                   : 1.3.11
Target & Compatible JDK         : Java 8

I also have some screenshots attached.

Solution

This is likely due to using a newer version of Android Studio then is supported with the "Android Agent Installer" methodology:

"Android Studio 2.1.0 - 2.9.9, 3.2.1 - 3.9.9 (Not supported: 3.0.0 - 3.2.0, 4.0)" - from https://docs.appdynamics.com/21.9/en/end-user-monitoring/mobile-real-user-monitoring/instrument-android-applications/instrument-an-application-with-the-android-agent-installer

Instead, follow these instructions to build using Gradle with the latest version: https://docs.appdynamics.com/21.9/en/end-user-monitoring/mobile-real-user-monitoring/instrument-android-applications/instrument-an-android-application-manually#InstrumentanAndroidApplicationManually-gradle-android-studio
