AS: 4.0 Beta 3; Kotlin plugin: 1.3.61; Android Gradle Plugin: 4.0.0-beta03; Gradle: 6.3; NDK: from local.properties: 21.0.6113669, latest from SDK: (not found); LLDB: LLDB 3.1 (revision: 3.1.4508709); CMake: from local.properties: (not specified), latest from SDK: 3.10.2, from PATH: 3.13.4

How to reproduce:

1. Open this https://github.com/AndreyPavlenko/Fermata project and change the gradle plugin version here
https://github.com/AndreyPavlenko/Fermata/blob/075b4473f13ee89ba7e467d26cec4dcf3d436577/build.gradle#L20
to 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:4.0.0-beta03'

2. Run the release build:
./gradlew clean fermata:bundleRelease

After starting the application, I'm getting the following exception:

java.lang.NullPointerException: Attempt to invoke virtual method 'java.lang.String java.lang.Throwable.getMessage()' on a null object reference
at me.aap.fermata.ui.activity.MainActivityDelegate.onMediaServiceBind(MainActivityDelegate.java:21)

at me.aap.fermata.media.service.FermataServiceUiBinder.onServiceConnected(FermataServiceUiBinder.java:10)
at android.app.LoadedApk$ServiceDispatcher.doConnected(LoadedApk.java:1730)

The method onMediaServiceBind(https://github.com/AndreyPavlenko/Fermata/blob/075b4473f13ee89ba7e467d26cec4dcf3d436577/fermata/src/main/java/me/aap/fermata/ui/activity/MainActivityDelegate.java#L423) is called by onServiceConnected(https://github.com/AndreyPavlenko/Fermata/blob/075b4473f13ee89ba7e467d26cec4dcf3d436577/fermata/src/main/java/me/aap/fermata/media/service/FermataServiceUiBinder.java#L290) via BiConsumer:

rh.accept(this, null);

Thus, the first argument is never null. But in the method d.a.a.d.a.a.accept() the first argument is always null:
