Some Android plugin versions have issues with Gradle's build cache feature. When applied to an Android project this plugin applies workarounds for these issues based on the Android plugin and Gradle versions.
- Supported Gradle versions: 5.4.1+
- Supported Android versions: 3.5.0, 3.5.1, 3.5.2, 3.5.3, 3.6.0, 3.6.1, 3.6.2, 3.6.3, 4.0, 4.0.1, 4.1-beta01
- Supported Kotlin versions: 1.3.70+
This plugin should be applied anywhere the com.android.application or com.android.library plugins are applied. Typically,
this can just be injected from the root project's build.gradle (change '1.0.7' to the latest version of the cache fix plugin
here):
plugins {
id "org.gradle.android.cache-fix" version "1.0.7" apply false
}
subprojects {
apply plugin: "org.gradle.android.cache-fix"
}You can take a look at the list of issues that the plugin fixes by looking at the classes in org.gradle.android.workarounds. It contains a number of Workaround implementations annotated with @AndroidIssue. The Javadoc has a short description of the problem, and the annotation gives information about when the problem was introduced, what is the first version of the Android plugin that fixes it, and there's a link to the issue on Android's issue tracker:
/**
* Fix {@link org.gradle.api.tasks.compile.CompileOptions#getBootClasspath()} introducing relocatability problems for {@link AndroidJavaCompile}.
