does anyone having problem after update Android Studio Arctic Fox Canary 5 (2020.3.1.5) ?

FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

* What went wrong:
lateinit property variantName has not been initialized

My setup: Android Studio Arctic Fox Canary 5 (2020.3.1.5) Android Gradle Plugin 7.0.0-alpha05 Gradle 6.8.1

Didn't reach so far... my installation failed when installing the provided IJ plugin in AS (it is rendered as valid for AS in JetBrains plugin overview...) As far as i see, you may have attempt to use an lateinit variable before you have initialized it. This was (I think it was a runtime error before, may be they have begun to catch that in suspicion (highly intelligent "clever" build process...))

this failure is in the AGP plugin, before the gradle task run (in this case the

build

task), my code doesn’t have any reference for a

variantName

They have adressed that here now https://issuetracker.google.com/178715706
