Gradle build fails with "unable to resolve class: ExtraModelBuilder"-CodePudding

I would like to start programming an android application. I am following a tutorial etc. and when in the background gradle tries to build the project I get an error:

Starting Gradle Daemon...
Gradle Daemon started in 2 s 153 ms
 
FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

I have Android Studio version 2021.3.1 (the latest) and I just started my project (I just added strings in strings.xml)

Thanks for your help!

The actual answer appears to be: upgrade to Gradle 7.2, as it is suggested here.

I don't need any more help. I've put an ndk in and fiddled around with the versions (looking at the compatibilities on the wiki) and everything works. I'll be able to resume watching your tutorial! Thank to @cactustictacs!
