Now I have a very funny error in gradle: (this is WITH android.packaging.resources.excludes.add("META-INF/services/**") ...)

§§§Execution failed for task ':app:mergeDebugUnitTestJavaResource'.

I posted it here since the two dependencies are kotlin coroutines which have the issue, so I really did think it was Kotlin in that way...

[Chrimaeon]

The dependencies are not your problem. AGP is your problem and for that please consider the links I posted or the Google issue tracker.

[dave08]

Nope, the build fails on the command line too

[Chrimaeon]

Yes, because the task that fails is from the Android Gradle Plugin. 😅

AGP != Android Studio - if that’s what your answer is referring to.

[dave08]

Ok, I hear, I didn't notice AGP, I thought you meant AS, I read a bit too quick, sorry! So you're saying it's some kind of bug in the plugin... I've tried asking in android united before, they usually don't answer... but I guess you're right, in the case it's related to AGP it's probably off-topic here, thanks for pointing out, I'll try not to post such things... I guess I was a bit frustrated when I wasted a bunch of hours on this... 😵‍💫

There is also a Gradle community slack - also maybe helpful in your case.

Just for the record... it seems to be a problem with the recent AGP canary versions: https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/401671164, thanks!
