Issues and Solutions after upgrading Gradle to 4.0-milestone and Gradle plugin to 3.0.0.-alpha1

unmock plugin cannot find Android jar.

Upgrade to version 0.6.1 of umock plugin.

See bjoernQ/unmock-plugin#31

CircleCI cannot find Play Services, Support Library and Contraint Layout

Grab them manually thru android tools.

echo y | android update sdk --no-ui --all --filter "tools,extra-android-m2repository,extra-android-support,extra-google-google_play_services,extra-google-m2repository"

The android tool does not have access to ConstrainsLayout package but sdkmanager does.

echo y | /usr/local/android-sdk-linux/tools/bin/sdkmanager "extras;m2repository;com;android;support;constraint;constraint-layout;1.0.2"

Apollo Android Library: class file for com.apollographql.apollo.api.Operation not found

https://github.com/apollographql/apollo-android/

Our shared module has the generated GraphQL classes. However, when you using GraphQL in the our app module, we are getting the error. The solution was to apply the plugin to the build.gradle file of the app module as well.

app/build.gradle

apply plugin: 'com.android.application'
apply plugin: 'com.apollographql.android'

For renaming APK, cannot rename output files since they are now read-only.

Use archivesBaseName in the build type

        debug {
            signingConfig signingConfigs.debugSignConfig
            applicationIdSuffix ".debug"
            archivesBaseName = "app-$defaultConfig.versionName"
        }

Error with Autovalue Annotations

Add workaround to android > default config in the app's build.gradle

android {
    ...
    defaultConfig {
        minSdkVersion minSdkVersionValue
        targetSdkVersion compileSdkVersionValue
        versionCode 1
        versionName "1.0"
        multiDexEnabled true

        testInstrumentationRunner "android.support.test.runner.AndroidJUnitRunner"

        javaCompileOptions {
            annotationProcessorOptions {
                includeCompileClasspath false
            }
        }
    }
    ...
}
