Why does build fail at 'Verify Configuration of Your Android Device' screen during Hardware Setup for Simulnk Support package for Android devices in R2017a MATLAB?

I have installed Simulink Support package for Android Devices on MATLAB R2017a. 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'.

This issue is related to Android Gradle Plugin download. Use this work around for now to get started with Android Support Package. Attached the AndroidpatchFor17a.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.
