Hello I am using

Kotlin: 1.4.21
Android Studio: Arctic Fox (canary)
Android Gradle Build Tools: 7.0.0-alpha03
Gradle: 6.8-rc-4

It appears the

packagingOptions

's

merge

API has been removed. Is

packagingOptions.resources.merges

the replacement for merge in

META-INF

R8 data? Ex: From:

packagingOptions {
    merge("META-INF/popkorn.provider.mappings")
    merge("META-INF/popkorn.resolver.mappings")
}

To:

packagingOptions {
   resources {
      merges += "META-INF/popkorn.provider.mappings"
      merges += "META-INF/popkorn.resolver.mappings"
   }
}

Kotlin DSL?

Yes

Oh LOL, thanks
