unknown property ‘manifestOutputDirectory’ - android

I had to integrate a library into my app and the library had its gradle version as 4.0.0, while my app had 3.2.2 (or something). So it bumped into the queries tag in the library (in its Manifest) that it wouldn’t recognize. Therefore I have updated the gradle version in my app to be the same as the library, at 4.0.0 (now I put it as 4.1.0, the latest).
The problem is that I bump into the following error:
`Execution failed for task ‘:app:processCanaryDebugManifest’.
Could not get unknown property ‘manifestOutputDirectory’ for task ‘:app:processCanaryDebugManifest’ of type com.android.build.gradle.tasks.ProcessMultiApkApplicationManifest.
This is based on this warning:
API 'variantOutput.getProcessManifest()' is obsolete and has been replaced with 'variantOutput.getProcessManifestProvider()'.
I haven’t been able to make any progress on this. I have ran the gradlew command with --stacktrace but all I get are errors from gradle, nothing specific. Do you know of any way to make this work? The only things I've found so far are issues with a Huawei thing, but it's not the case for me. Thanks!
PS. I'm not sure what additional info would be useful in this circumstance.
EDIT: I've downgraded to gradle 3.3.3 and commented out my new library dependecies, and now it says:
`Execution failed for task ':app:processCanaryDebugManifest'.
java.io.FileNotFoundException: property(interface org.gradle.api.file.Directory, transform(property(interface org.gradle.api.file.Directory, fixed(class org.gradle.api.internal.file.DefaultProjectLayout$FixedDirectory, C:\build\myapp\app))))\AndroidManifest.xml (The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect)`

Trouble getting gradle project building in Intellij: Task 'compileJava' is ambiguous

I am attempting to get
https://github.com/KodeinKoders/Playground-Demo-Crypto (commit 2a9b2b9)
Repository to build.
After doing some updates of tooling MacOS & XCode. And addition of the following override to gradle build file:
tasks.getByName<org.jetbrains.kotlin.gradle.targets.native.tasks.KotlinNativeSimulatorTest>("iosX64Test") {
deviceId = "iPhone 14"
}
I am able to build within command line use
gradle build
On
MacOS: 13.2
XCode: 14.2
However, when I run build within IntelliJ. I get the following error:
Task 'compileJava' is ambiguous in root project 'DemoCrypto'. Candidates are: 'compileDebugAndroidTestJavaWithJavac', 'compileDebugJavaWithJavac', 'compileDebugUnitTestJavaWithJavac', 'compileReleaseJavaWithJavac', 'compileReleaseUnitTestJavaWithJavac'.
The IntelliJ notifications show:
Executing tasks: [:compileDebugSources, :compileDebugUnitTestSources, :compileDebugAndroidTestSources, :compileJava, :testClasses] in project /usr/local/workplace/sandbox-kotlin-thorg/Playground-Demo-Crypto
Prior to build failure.
I am new to gradle. I don't know where this list of tasks that intellij chooses to use for build is coming from? I am also confused by fact that running:
grep -r "compileDebugSources" .
From within the project root leads to 0 matches.
So the questions are:
How does IntelliJ choose to use that particular list of tasks to for its build. Given that compileDebugSources doesnt even exist in the project.
Advice on getting the build to work in IntelliJ?

Gradle plugin 3.5.0: "Failed to transform artifact", "Execution failed for JetifyTransform"

We updated Android Gradle plugin from 3.4.2 to 3.5.0 (and Gradle from 5.1.1 to 5.4.1).
After that, the build started failing in a few submodules. Trying to assemble any build variant yields this (same error on the command line and in Android Studio):
> Failed to transform artifact 'bottom-navigation.aar (project :bottom-navigation)' to match attributes {artifactType=jar}.
> Execution failed for JetifyTransform: <project_root>/bottom-navigation/build/outputs/aar/bottom-navigation-release.aar.
> Failed to transform '<project_root>/bottom-navigation/build/outputs/aar/bottom-navigation-release.aar' using Jetifier.
Reason: Cannot open a library at 'FileMapping(from=<project_root>/bottom-navigation/build/outputs/aar/bottom-navigation-release.aar, to=<project_root>/bottom-navigation/build/.transforms/9b2af95a5f0e0055110660c22ff05ab5/jetified-bottom-navigation-release.aar)'. (Run with --stacktrace for more details.)
Any ideas how to fix this?
What I've tried
"Invalidate caches" in AS and also clearing all Gradle caches in ~/.gradle/caches as suggested in this answer
All the advice in this somewhat similar question
I checked that the problematic modules use apply plugin:
'com.android.library' (instead of com.android.application)
I tried updating appcompat dependency to androidx.appcompat:appcompat:1.1.0 in affected modules and also removing that dependency
Update
It starts to look like something is wrong in Gradle plugin 3.5.0; builds behave erratically for me locally and on our CI machine.
For example, clean builds are failing: ./gradlew clean assembleBetaRelease fails while ./gradlew assembleBetaRelease works!
Also, sometimes I get AAPT: error: attribute ... not found instead of the above Failed to transform artifact error.
Reverting to Gradle plugin 3.4.2, all these problems disappear.
Edit Oct 2019: Still seeing this weird behaviour with Gradle plugin 3.5.1. Edit Nov 2019 And 3.5.2. Upgrading to Gradle 5.6 didn't help either.
A bit weird, but I got it working again. Apparently just a temporary glitch in Android Gradle plugin related to caching.
This answer helped me:
The simple way to solve this is to switch between your build variants. This refreshes the cached copies and resolves the issue.
I couldn't do that in Android Studio since the project sync was failing, but on the command line I tried another variant (in my case ./gradlew assembleBetaDebug having used ./gradlew assembleBetaRelease earlier). The build passed, and after that it worked for all all other variants too, and Gradle sync in Android Studio started working as well!
Edit: actually this is not completely solved; see updated question.
Update 12/2019: bundle* commands work fine, it's only assemble* that fails—still failing with Android Gradle plugin 3.5.3. Building in Android Studio works fine. Obviously this is not a common issue, and I don't know what exactly in the particular project I'm working on is causing this.
Update 04/2020: now with Android Gradle plugin 3.6.2 (and Gradle 5.6.4) builds work for me locally and I was able to update the project. On CircleCI, the build still occasionally fails with "Failed to transform artifact" but re-running fixes it. Go figure 🤔

Building cordova-plugin-xapkreader with cordova-android 6.4.0

I've inherited a cordova project that uses cordova-plugin-xapkreader, which appears to be the standard plugin for accessing expansion (aka OBB) files. I'm encountering an issue with it that I would expect to affect other cordova plugins. I get the following errors when running cordova build android:
Configuration 'compile' in project ':' is deprecated. Use 'implementation' instead.
publishNonDefault is deprecated and has no effect anymore. All variants are now published.
Configuration 'compile' in project ':com.flyingsoftgames.xapkreader:downloader_library' is deprecated. Use 'implementation' instead.

> Project :com.flyingsoftgames.xapkreader:downloader_library declares a dependency from configuration 'debugCompile' to configuration 'debug' which is not declared in the descriptor for project :com.flyingsoftgames.xapkreader:library.
This has been reported as a bug on the plugin's forum by someone else, but the workaround doesn't reliable work:
https://github.com/agamemnus/cordova-plugin-xapkreader/issues/116
The issue appears to be that gradle expects you to now use implementation rather than compile, debugCompile etc. The gradle file for the plugin is generated by cordova, based on a template inside cordova-android. The suggested workaround is to modify the template (or the generated gradle files) in a script run from a cordova hook. Unfortunately for some reason, the hooks don't appear to work reliably - sometimes they do, sometimes they don't. This feels like it may be due to a race condition caused by the hooks running asynchronously with the rest of the build process - so sometimes the gradle build has started before the gradle files can be modified.
Does any have any ideas how to properly fix this? Does anyone know why this isn't a more wide-spread issue that the cordova-android project hasn't fixed by modifying their template? Is this something I can fix by downgrading some part of the build process?
I'm pretty new to Cordova, so it's all quite baffling and any help is much appreciated!

I think this can be fixed by making the hook return a promise, this way you can ensure the rest of the build won't run in parallel. I posted the code I'm using on the github issue.
The revelant code is the following:
- create a promise at the beginning of the hook:
const deferral = context.requireCordovaModule('q').defer();
- return the promise at the end of the hook:
return deferral.promise;
- resolve the promise once the work is finished (the file is written):
deferral.resolve();

"Could not initialize class" error running lint target from gradle

I'm working on an Android project with two projects inside it. When trying to run a build with gradlew (./gradlew build), I see the following error:
Execution failed for task ':example:lint'.
Could not initialize class
com.android.build.gradle.tasks.Lint$LintGradleIssueRegistry
With stacktrace enabled, this is listed as a java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError.
Oddly, the first time I ran this (which downloaded dependencies), the build failed with a different error:
Execution failed for task ':example:lint'.
lombok/ast/Node
The gradle wrapper that Android SDK created for the project is using Gradle 2.8.
Could this be a configuration issue with the project or my dev machine? I'm trying to avoid using the Android SDK lint tool as this complains about the projects using Gradle (and I hear it may miss some parts of these projects).
Turned out this was a configuration issue in our build.gradle. The following line had been added for testing and never removed:
configurations.classpath.exclude group: 'com.android.tools.external.lombok'
As such, the classes needed for linting were missing.
The following discussion pointed us in the right direction, in case it's useful to anyone else:

Gradle error in Android Studio: AndroidSdk.SendPing failed, Firebase client lib not compiling

When inserting a new activity (more specifically, navigation drawer activity) my gradle sync breaks and throws the following error:
Failed to find: com.firebase:firebase-client-android:1.1.0.0
I could undo the changes, but I would like to understand why gradle breaks while adding new activities.
Looking over the IDEA LOG, I came by the following Warning:
2014-11-20 15:53:26,547 [ 788010] WARN - ea.stats.LegacySdkStatsService - AndroidSdk.SendPing failed
java.net.UnknownHostException: tools.google.com
I figure it has something to do with the Gradle build file, but I'm not entirely sure why it would compile the Firebase library before adding an activity and after, not.
I'm running on a MacBook Air, OS X Yosemite.
build.gradle: https://gist.github.com/markbratanov/82fe78f7bc2c9064986b
Idea log: https://gist.github.com/markbratanov/d38949010198ec950acd
Any help or suggestions would be appreciated, thanks.
This was solved by deleting the library from gradle dependencies, and searching for the library in Maven Central (in this case, Firebase) and adding the latest version.
