I think I will be the guy to say: please do not cross-post

[Joost Klitsie]

even though it is the (#android) (#gradle) plugin 😄

[magnumrocha]

sure, I post it on other channels because I was desperate, sorry 😂

[Joost Klitsie]

btw there is I think already a work around

[Joost Klitsie]

IF it is related to: https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/KT-43944

[Joost Klitsie]

can it be related?

[magnumrocha]

no, they aren’t the same, this is another Issue…

[magnumrocha]

I have this workaround in my project, to solve the problem of this specific Issue, but the AGP 7.0.0-alpha05 introduce a new one…

[stephanmg]

well, is this a real alpha? do you have to use this version?

[magnumrocha]

the Android Studio Arctic Fox Canary 5 (2020.3.1.5) only works with AGP 7.0.0-alpha05

[stephanmg]

I see

[magnumrocha]

I could not use the 7.0.0-alpha05, but I couldn’t use the Android Studio….

[magnumrocha]

what is impossible 😅

[stephanmg]

@magnumrocha was just wondering. I wouldn’t be desperate if I spot a bug/issue in an alpha version, just saying 🙂

[stephanmg]

but I understand your needs
