A failure occurred while executing com.android.build.gradle.internal.tasks

Question

I am getting this error while I am building APK.

Cause 1: org.gradle.workers.internal.DefaultWorkerExecutor$WorkExecutionException: A failure occurred while executing com.android.build.gradle.internal.tasks.Workers$ActionFacade

Tried to invalidate cache and restart android studio.Rebuild project but none of them works for me.

Answer 1

Finally found a solution for this by adding this line to gradle.properties.

org.gradle.jvmargs=-Xmx4608m
