An error occurred after I downloaded version 6.8 and the latest version of Gradle.
A problem occurred evaluating project ‘:launcher’.
< Failed to apply plugin ‘com.android.internal.version-check’.
<< Minimum supported Gradle version is 7.0.2. Current version is 6.8. If using the gradle wrapper, try editing the distributionUrl…
What do I have to do?

The error:
Likely means:
Your "gradle"-folder is missing from your project folder:
(Note: Not to be mistaken for the ".gradle"-folder which is a different folder)
Solution:
Get a copy of the "gradle"-folder from another working project (or create a new project).
Or:
Your "gradlewrappergradle-wrapper.properties" has an incorrect value in the "distributionUrl=":
Solution:
Change the value in "gradlewrappergradle-wrapper.properties" to
distributionUrl=https://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-7.0.2-bin.zip
I hade the same problem after moving my project to another computer:
Clicking on the "Gradle Settings"-link opened the Gradle settings Window, but the Gradle JDK was already correctly set to
version 11
:So my next step was to check the Project Structure:
And update the Gradle Version to
7.0.2
:But that led to this error instead:
Now the error points me towards a problem within the "gradlewrappergradle-wrapper.properties"-file.
Looking into that I found out the real problem – the "gradle"-folder was completely missing.
(Note: The ".gradle"-folder is not the same as the "gradle"-folder)
Copying the "gradle"-folder from another project solved my problems.
Now my "gradlewrappergradle-wrapper.properties"-file looks like this:
Go to gradle wrapper properties
In the distribution url line change gradle version from 6.5 to 7.0.2 or the current version when you see this
Next update the Gradle Version in Android Studio select invalidate cache and restart solve the issue.
Go to Menu File->Invalidate cache..-> Invalidate and Restart.
The error says that the gradle version in your system is less than your project’s gradle verion. That’s the reason why it is unable to compile your project.
So there are 2 solutions here,
gradle-wrapper.properties
file in theandroid/gradle/wrapper
directory todistributionUrl=https://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-7.0.2-bin.zip
.path
variable in system properties.
