What is the difference between the following statements when issued from a Android Studio Project's terminal :
Android_Studio_Project_Path: ./gradlew clean Android_Studio_Project_Path: ./gradlew clean assembleDebug Android_Studio_Project_Path: ./gradlew clean :assembleDebug and normal Android Studio --> Build --> Clean.
What would be the difference in the internal process.
./gradlew clean Uses your project's gradle wrapper to execute your project's clean task. Usually, this just means the deletion of the build directory. ./gradlew clean assembleDebug Again, uses your project's gradle wrapper to execute the clean and assembleDebug tasks, respectively. So, it will clean first, then execute assembleDebug, after any non-up-to-date dependent tasks. ./gradlew clean :assembleDebug Is essentially the same as #2. The colon represents the task path. Task paths are essential in gradle multi-project's, not so much in this context. It means run the root project's assembleDebug task. Here, the root project is the only project. Android Studio --> Build --> Clean Is essentially the same as ./gradlew clean. See here.
For more info, I suggest taking the time to read through the Android docs, especially this one.
You can also use
./gradlew clean build
(Mac and Linux) -With ./
gradlew clean build
(Windows) -Without ./
it removes build folder, as well configure your modules and then build your project.
i use it before release any new app on playstore.
.\gradlew clean build
You should use this one too:
./gradlew :app:dependencies
(Mac and Linux) -With ./
gradlew :app:dependencies
(Windows) -Without ./
The libs you are using internally using any other versions of google play service.If yes then remove or update those libs.

Success story sharing
gradlew clean
should run theclean
task for the current project directory and any subprojects. See here. 2 questions you must ask. Is project/app a subproject of the project's build that you are running? Is the project/app/build folder really a build output directory?
