Thanks for the reports. This is caused the by Kotlin plugins using deprecated APIs. See

https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/KT-25428

Once the Kotlin plugins start using the new APIs, we will enforce a minimum version of the Kotlin plugins that has the fix so these warnings can go away.

Some quick comments:

- I filed

Issue 116245497

to better handle the warning display. This is too aggressive for a warning right now.
- I filed

Issue 116247924

to help people troubleshoot what is calling the deprecated API.

I too get the same warning.

I'm not using Kotlin. Why do I receive this message too?

xa...@google.com <xa...@google.com> #13Sep 24, 2018 03:17PM

@12. in that case please run a build from the command line, with -Pandroid.debug.obsoleteApi=true to see what calls the deprecated method.

tr...@gmail.com <tr...@gmail.com> #14Oct 2, 2018 10:13PM

I am getting nothing helpful from adding the obsoleteApi=true flag with AGP3.3.0-a13

seems by running with -d via gradle cli we can see that it is:
[org.jetbrains.kotlin.gradle.plugin.Android25ProjectHandler] [KOTLIN] Process variant [debug]
while inside an after eval listener which I assume was registered by the kotlin plugin.

Do you see a stack trace when running with -Pandroid.debug.obsoleteApi=true? The stack trace should reveal what is calling the deprecated API.
