Android Studio 3.3 Canary 11
Build #AI-182.4323.46.33.5012296, built on September 14, 2018
JRE: 1.8.0_152-release-1248-b01 x86_64
JVM: OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM by JetBrains s.r.o
macOS 10.13.6

I attached a screenshot to this bug report showing the incorrect lint error that Android Studio gives. I also attached the sample project I used to reproduce the issue.

Gradient support in VectorDrawables was backported as of v28 of the support library, so Android Studio should no longer warn developers that these attributes are unsupported on old platforms.

FYI, this bug is somewhat related (Android Studio not detecting that it is OK for <pathInterpolator> elements to go in res/interpolator):
