Answer 1

I downgrade my gradle by choose "Pereference" -> "Build, Execution, Deployment" -> Gradle - > "Use default gradle wrapper(recommended)" then it works.

Answer 2

While I'm not certain if this counts as a canonical "answer", when I installed macOS Sierra, I did get a notification stating that Growl would no longer run. This appears to be supported by Growl's own website as it cannot even be built from source on a modern Xcode or OS X see: http://growl.info/documentation/developer/growl-source-install.php

Unless we can find a way to strip the reliance on Growl out of the Android Studio itself, I don't know that it will be functional on macOS Sierra. It does appear to be baked into several of the jars, though I'm sure someone more resourceful than I will come up with a nifty workaround.

EDIT I was able to build my project by opening the project's build.gradle (Project: project_name_here), and commenting out:

//apply plugin: 'announce'
//apply plugin: 'build-announcements'

From the bottom of the file. This did allow gradle to continue and build my project, which is running just fine.
