Thanks for the report. Would it be possible for you to share a zip dump of the inputs to R8, including the app's class files, keep rules, etc.? This should enable us to reproduce the build.

You can generate this by running:

./gradlew assembleRelease --no-daemon -Dcom.android.tools.r8.dumpinputtodirectory=/path/to/r8/dumps

See also https://r8.googlesource.com/r8/+/refs/heads/main/doc/compilerdump.md.

Thanks for sharing. Looking at the code from the dump it is not immediately clear why this would fail with a NullPointerException. Would it be possible for you to also share the APK that is not working?

Would it be possible for you to share a small project that reproduces this?

The dump shared in comment #3 is a debug build, which does not seem to reproduce the issue.

Thanks for sharing the reproduction. This is now fixed in R8 8.0.46 and 8.1.46. R8 8.0.46 and 8.1.46 should make it into AGP 8.0.2 and AGP 8.1.0-beta4, respectively.

Until that is released you can build with R8 8.0.46 by making the following change to settings.gradle or settings.gradle.kts.

pluginManagement {
    buildscript {
        repositories {
            mavenCentral()
            maven {
                url = uri("https://storage.googleapis.com/r8-releases/raw")
            }
        }
        dependencies {
            classpath("com.android.tools:r8:8.0.46")
        }
    }
}

AGP is not in AOSP. You can see that change here. I have a pending fix for this bug.

This will be fixed in AGP 8.0.0-beta02 (Change-Id: Icb1a29bcd0c60a8ee6228a5ee05e708624c319c0)

Thanks a lot, just to be sure this was also tested with both options from #8?

So updated to AGP 8.0 A10 and the profiles are back but still in com.android.tools.build.profiles this contradicts #6 is this normal/expected will it change in a future 8.0 build?

Re #22, please disregard #6... that only applies to APKs, not AABs.

Is there an alpha that includes this fix?

The fix will be in AGP 8.0.0-beta02 and AGP 8.1.0-alpha01
