Cannot create variant 'android-manifest-metadata'

问题

I uploaded my app on Playstore (bundle.aab method) and it works fine with no errors on android 6.0 but got error on android 7.0 device and doens't run the app. I used the Gradle build classpath 3.1.0 - Trying to solve the problem by updating the Gradle version build to 3.2.0-alpha14' so the compile failed giving me the error message bellow. Does anyone know how may I fix this to make my app run on Android 7.0 devices with Gradle 4.7? Perhaps this upgrade fix the device error I think. Thank you!

apply plugin: 'com.android.application'

回答1:

The issue is related to the google services

After upgrading the firebase versions and / or the gradle plugin version I also had to upgrade the google services plugin version

dependencies {
    classpath 'com.google.gms:google-services:4.0.1'
}

回答2:

Had the same issue and was resolved when I updated to the latest versions:

classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.3.0-alpha02'
classpath 'com.google.gms:google-services:4.0.1'
classpath 'io.fabric.tools:gradle:1.25.4'

Updating to latest versions didn't help. In our case problem was caused by our custom Gradle task that was resolving dependencies during project configuration.

To locate such tasks first run Gradle Build Scan using --scan (e.g. ./gradlew app:assembleDebug --scan). Then go to the generated scan page, Performance -> Settings and suggestions. If there is a warning saying Dependencies were resolved during project configuration then you're about to have some fun fixing those.

In our case, it was a custom task that was accessing variant.javaCompiler.classpath.files during the configuration step. Try searching for configurations. or .files in Gradle scripts to find potential culprits and start with commenting those out and re-running the Build Scan to see if the problem is gone.

In my case it happens due to plugin:

apply plugin: 'com.orhanobut.tracklytics'

Seems it use deprecated api, so I have removed apply plugin: 'com.orhanobut.tracklytics'
