I can reproduce this error on a fresh android project when using Android Studio, however the error goes away once `cordova build android` is issued.
The Cordova CLI builds does work as expected and once it's built once from the Cordova CLI, Android Studio can sync with Gradle and build properly. I believe this issue was introduced when the dummy gradle project was introduced, which is used to setup the gradle wrapper without having AGP interfere with version constraints. I also tested current stable and this issue also produces there, so this isn't a regression. Therefore I don't think the issue should block this release. But we should maybe look into and see if we can get the gradle wrapper setup earlier, either during prepare or after the platform is created. That should fix the issues with Android Studio. This can probably be done as a minor or patch release though.
