hello ,I'm having a Gradle update issue with this error: "Your project may be using a version of the Android Gradle plug-in that does not contain the method (e.g. 'testCompile' was added in 1.1.0)." Can you please help me

You missed to provide any error message, you just pasted an explanation attempt of some other software like Android Studio or something else. What is the actual full error you are getting? Also make sure you are not fooled by https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/IDEA-241844 Besides that, as you say "update issue", you probably used something deprecated and did not fix the deprecation warning before the upgrade, or skipped some major version and thus also skipping the deprecation cycle.
