Could not create task ‘:app:minifyReleaseWithR8‘. Cannot query the value of this provider because it

问题版本：Android studio4.1.3 

解决办法：

In my case I've just needed to download the correct sdk. Go to SdkManager (for example tap shift key twice and type "sdk manager") and be sure to download the SDK Platform that corresponds to your buildToolsVersion defined in your project's build.gradle

(I don't know why Android studio was not detecting that sdk was not installed, it may be a bug)
