Component used: android.arch.navigation:navigation-safe-args-gradle-plugin
Version used: 1.0.0-alpha07
Devices/Android versions reproduced on:
- Android Studio 3.4 Canary 4
- Multi features app (with instant app)
- Using apply plugin: 'androidx.navigation.safeargs' in a baseFeature module.

Error:
ERROR: variant.getApplicationId() is not supported by feature plugins as it cannot handle delayed setting of the application ID. Please use getApplicationIdTextResource() instead.
Affected Modules: base

If this is a bug in the library, we would appreciate if you could attach:
- Sample project to trigger the issue.
- A screenrecord or screenshots showing the issue (if UI related).

Follow this instructions:
- Clone the official googlesamples android-instant-apps

https://github.com/googlesamples/android-instant-apps
- Open the multi-feature-module project with Android Studio 3.4 Canary 4
- Add android.arch.navigation to the project :

multi-feature-module build.gradle:
[…]
buildscript {
repositories {
jcenter()
google()
}
dependencies {
classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.4.0-alpha04'
classpath 'android.arch.navigation:navigation-safe-args-gradle-plugin:1.0.0-alpha07'
}
}
[…]

base build.gradle:
apply plugin: 'com.android.feature'
apply plugin: 'androidx.navigation.safeargs'

android {
[…]

- sync gradle files and you get the error:
ERROR: variant.getApplicationId() is not supported by feature plugins as it cannot handle delayed setting of the application ID. Please use getApplicationIdTextResource() instead.

This seems to be occurring in the two latest versions of the Android Gradle plugin, specifically in 3.3.0-beta04 and 3.4.0-alpha04. Caused by the complete deprecation of a method used by the Safe Args plugin (see ag/5426837). I'll check with the tools team to see what can Safe-Args do about change.
