Unity 2018.3.6f1 Gradle Build Failure on GearVR

Hi

I'm trying to build on GearVR but I am seeing a Gradle Build failure as per the error below.

Further down I have listed the the contents of build.gradle.

I'm on the latest Android SDK with Platform Tools 28.0.1 all installed via Android Studio and I am able to build other projects for GearVR with no problem

Does anyone have any idea of what might be causing this at all, or suggest a possible workaround?


kind regards,

Nalin
