DESCRIBE THE ISSUE IN DETAIL:

In AGP 7.4+, the outputKeepRules property in DexingFileDependenciesTask was changed from a RegularFileProperty to a DirectoryProperty (in this commit), however it is still marked as an OutputFile.

This causes a configuration error as gradle expects this property to be a file, but finds a directory instead. It should be marked with `OutputDirectory.

Configuration error:

org.gradle.internal.execution.WorkValidationException: A problem was found with the configuration of task ':app:desugarProductionReleaseFileDependencies' (type 'DexFileDependenciesTask').
  - In plugin 'com.android.internal.version-check' type 'com.android.build.gradle.internal.tasks.DexFileDependenciesTask' property 'outputKeepRules' is not writable because '[...]/app/build/intermediates/desugar_lib_external_file_lib_keep_rules/productionRelease' is not a file.
    
    Reason: Cannot write a file to a location pointing at a directory.
    
    Possible solutions:
      1. Configure 'outputKeepRules' to point to a file, not a directory.
      2. Annotate 'outputKeepRules' with @OutputDirectory instead of @OutputFiles.

This property appears to have been removed in AGP 8.1, but this issue still affects both AGP 7.4 and 8.0.

Marked as fixed.

Managed to cherry pick into 7.4.2 as well.

Thanks for back-porting the fix to 7.4, we have the same issue. Any idea when will AGP 7.4.2 be released?
