Android Studio 3.0 is stuck loading symbols for my project

Issue

I updated from Android Studio 2.3 to 3.0 . Now my project is stuck loading symbols for more than 30 mins. Any pointers on how to resolve this?

I tried to reinstall it - the same result.

I tried to relaunch - the same result.

Solution

In your project,

1. Delete {root}/.gradle folder
2. Delete {root}/app/build folder
3. Delete {root}/build folder
4. Run Invalidate Caches / Restart
5. Sync your project again after Android Studio restarts
