MATLAB: Does build fail at ‘Verify Configuration of Your Android Device’ screen during Hardware Setup for Simulnk Support package for Android devices in R2017b MATLAB

androidr2017bsimulink

I have installed Simulink Support package for Android Devices on MATLAB R2017b.
Installation went through, but during Hardware setup screen's verify configuration page, build failed.
The message thrown is:
Unexpected error : FAILURE: Build failed with an exception. * What went wrong: A problem occurred configuring root project 'TestApp'. > Could not resolve all dependencies for configuration ':classpath'. > Could not resolve com.android.tools.build:gradle:1.2.1.

This issue is related to Android Gradle Plugin download. Use this work around for now to get started with Android Support Package. Attached the AndroidpatchFor17b.zip file. It contains 2 p files and 1 m script file. In MATLAB, go to path where you have placed that folder and then open the pluginfix.m file and click on Run button. Now try Hardware Setup again.
