Value 'debug GraphQL source'

Question

After following the getting started guide for integrating my android application with AWS from https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/mobile/building-an-android-app-with-aws-amplify-part-1/   
, the build of my app is now failing with issues " ERROR: Value 'debug GraphQL source' specified for property '$2' cannot be converted to a file."  
  
Environment  
Appsync SDK version 2.6.+  
gradle version 5.4.1  
android studio 3.5

I have installed AWS amplify CLI and configured it accordingly.  
After following the above tutorial I am stuck with this . Kindly consider my issue and revert back as soon as possible.

Answer

I solved it setting the specific version in **project** level **build.gradle**:

```
classpath 'com.amazonaws:aws-android-sdk-appsync-gradle-plugin:2.8.2'
```
