Has anyone dealt with an issue like this before?

* What went wrong:
Execution failed for task ':presentation:minifyBrandProductionReleaseWithR8'.

Dealt with an issue that looks similar but not quite like this. Have been wondering what that ASM step actually does…

[Ronald Wolvers]

The solution with the issue was just deleting that file during the build, like so:

tasks.whenTaskAdded { task ->
  if (task.name.contains("yourTaskName")) {
    task.doLast {
      new File(System.getProperty("user.dir") + "path/to/file").deleteDir()
    }
  }
}

The task that you would substitute for yourTaskName would probably be the name of the task that executes before the one that is returning the error.

As I mentioned, your issue merely looks similar, so I figured this would perhaps solve it, although I cannot tell you why it fails and also not what ASM exactly does nor why this fixes it. Good luck!

Thanks @Ronald Wolvers 🙏
Not sure if this helps as there are some third party dependency on ktor but will give it a go
