Answer 1

Build log prints how to debug this, particularly you need to run build with -Pandroid.debug.obsoleteApi=true, that'll print stack-trace of call to deprecated API and you'll be able to figure which plugin/code calls it.

If it ends up being your code — use new Provider API (read Lazy Task Configuration doc)

If it comes from other plugin — report to them with stack-trace and warning message and maybe submit a patch. As in this case its related to io.fabric issue.
