And I haven't set any specific R8 version

Thank you for the info. Then the R8 stacktrace in b/7142020655#comment2 is correct

If you have a reproduction project you can share we would very much like to look at that. You can share it privately with sgjesse@google.com and christofferqa@google.com if possible.

I'm using Android Gradle Plugin 3.4.2.

The only way I was able to get around this was to disable R8 with the following properties:

android.enableR8=false
android.proguard.enableRulesExtraction=false

AFAIK, neither 3.4.2 nor 3.5 has plans for next point releases, since we're testing 3.6 RC and entering 4.0 beta.

But, I wonder if this would be an easy fix: https://r8.googlesource.com/r8/+/refs/tags/1.5.64/src/main/java/com/android/tools/r8/optimize/MemberRebindingAnalysis.java#80 Here, if the definition for the `current` type is not available (hence null, and NPE), could we stop there and use it as the first library class for interface target?
