Gradle is removing some @Deprecated methods from the org.gradle.api.reporting.ConfigurableReport class in Gradle 8.0. One method that is remaining is setDestination(File), which is still used by tasks created by AGP. All of Gradle's internal implementation classes for this interface (anything which ultimately extends org.gradle.api.reporting.internal.SimpleReport) will begin producing nagging deprecation warnings when this method is called.

Per the javadoc on that method, please switch to using the outputLocation property to avoid these warnings and prepare for it's removal in Gradle 9.0.

Okay. I tried a bunch of agp+android studio versions

The last working version was classpath("com.android.tools.build:gradle:7.4.0-alpha06")

once I moved to

classpath("com.android.tools.build:gradle:7.4.0-alpha07") then things start breaking on firebase app dist.

Scott, assigning to you as it seem to complain the zip is not aligned while packaging which is very puzzling considering the steps...

OP, when you build the APK with AGP, are you doing any post-processing on the APK and/or do you have any custom tasks that are modifying the APK?

Can you try to verify the alignment of your APK with zipalign locally (zipalign is included in build-tools):

zipalign -c -v 4 foo.apk

Not doing any post processing. No custom tasks. I will try to verify alignment now. Give me a sec.

Marked as fixed.

Scenario 1:

built my apk with agp alpha09, but didn't update firebase (bom = 30.2.0)
/Users/idle/Library/Android/sdk/build-tools/31.0.0/zipalign -c -v 4 app-release.apk

"Verification succesful"

Scenario 2:

built my apk with agp alpha09, but I DID update firebase (bom = 30.3.1)
/Users/idle/Library/Android/sdk/build-tools/31.0.0/zipalign -c -v 4 app-release.apk

"Verification FAILED"
