I ve tried substituting but something like ```substitute module with project subproject ``` doesn t get resolved when doing ```implementation ``` Though apart from that it builds fine The following works totally fine however ```substitute module with project in build gradle implementation ```

Ugh probably something to do with cache then I ll try clearing that

Offz · Answer

Hmm doesn t seem like that did anything Also the github package block doesn t work since it requires github access tokens in your properties it s really stupid they made a public repo that requires credentials

octylFractal · Answer

yea I really don t know what could be wrong seems like something on your end if you feel comfortable doing so you could upload a ` scan`

Offz · Answer

I m actually unfaimiliar with gradle scans Perhaps you have some ideas as to what I could try clearing I just deleted `~ gradle caches` forget what else there is

octylFractal · Answer

maybe run ` gradlew clean` to clean up your local build dirs

octylFractal · Answer

besides that there s not too much else caching wise
