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.

I also have the same issue so it seems to be a real problem.

Though it's a bit more detailed with the minimum necessary to reproduce.

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?
