DESCRIBE THE ISSUE IN DETAIL: The issue is only reproducible when AGP 7.1 or higher is used

An example project has been created to demonstrate the issue and it contains two branches, branch-with-spng-lib and branch-without-spng-lib.

The :nativelib:src/main/cpp/CMakeLists.txt in the branch-with-spng-lib contains add_subdirectory(spng spng) line, branch-without-spng-lib does not. When we checkout from branch-with-spng-lib to branch-without-spng-lib and build the project Gradle fails with an exception

[CXX1409] /Users/anton.logvinov/Development/native-module-bug/nativelib/.cxx/Debug/2z5m63l6/arm64-v8a/android_gradle_build.json debug|arm64-v8a : expected buildFiles file '/Users/anton.logvinov/Development/native-module-bug/nativelib/src/main/cpp/spng/CMakeLists.txt' to exist

Removing the .cxx directory helps but it is not a solution for us.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE:

Clone an example project from https://github.com/kotelliada/AGP-issue
Checkout to the branch-with-spng-lib branch
Build the project
Checkout to the branch-without-spng-lib branch
Build the project

A project I contribute to also hits this problem.
In our case, the
CXX1409 ... expected buildFiles file ... to exist
message occurs when our continuous integration (running buildbot) switches between git commits and the switched-to commit is missing cmake files (e.g. .cmake or .txt) which existed on the previously-built checkout. The error persists and causes a build failure until the builder intermediate files are manually deleted. As a workaround we are downgrading AGP.

Just wanted to point out that it causes persistent build failure, as "does not build ... incrementally" wasn't really clear to me. (Thanks a lot for filing this issue, though!)

Please let me know if the problem has already been solved or not. Thanks!

Just want to notify that the issue is still reproducible in AGP 8 and higher. Please pay attention to the issue because it prevents from upgrading AGP to newer versions. Thanks a lot!
