Value of mainClassName, 'application' plugin already applied

Basically, there are 28 sub projects and one mega-build.gradle file on the project path, and I have included application plug-in everywhere to ensure that mainClassName property was set. However, in installApp step, I still run into this error. I am not sure what’s the way to go about this.

You have to specify the value of this property to the full name of your main class
e.g. mainClassName=‘org.package.MyMainClass’

Thank you very much Francois, your answers helped me a lot in resolving my issues.
For future inquirers, key was to specify mainClassName in a project build.gradle itself as well.
