Could not find property 'processManifest' on com.android.build.gradle.internal.api.ApplicationVariantImpl

Question

I am currently trying to update Android Studio to 1.0.0-RC. This seems to require gradle Android plugin 1.0.0-rc1. After the update, I started having the following error:

Answer 1

According to the documentation for APK splits (http://tools.android.com/tech-docs/new-build-system/user-guide/apk-splits) this method has moved into VariantOutput (available via variant.outputs):

Deprecation Warning: the current variant API contains some methods that have moved under its outputs. The method are still there, but will fail if there are 2+ outputs. They will be completely removed in 1.0 These are:

• get/setOutputFile
• getProcessResources
• getProcessManifest
• getPackageApplication/Library
• getZipAlign

Additional methods on VariantOutput

• String getAbiFilter()
• String getDensityFilter()
• Task getAssemble()
• String getName()
• String getBaseName()
• String getDirName
• set/getVersionOverride // optional versionCode override
• int getVersionCode() // returns either the versionCode override from the output or the versionCode from the variant itself
