**Additional info :**
My Android studio version is 3.5.3
Gradle distribution URL is :
`distributionUrl=https\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-5.4.1-all.zip
`
it looks like we can't update this repo to latest android studio and gradle version.

Start with the app-level and top-level build.gradle files and the Gradle distribution URL shown in the issue, then reproduce the configuration failure for :ContentBrowser:extractDebugAnnotations under Android Studio 3.5.3. Trace where deleteAllActions() is introduced and verify that the project configures and builds successfully with the supported Android and Gradle versions.
