```
Gradle fails to assemble release build, debug build is assembled fine & it works on devices.
But release build is not assembled because r8 requires /build/intermediates/merged_java_res/release/base.jar
which is not present at the moment of the execution of minify task

Task :Module:mergeNetCleanReleaseGeneratedProguardFiles UP-TO-DATE
> Task :Module:processNetCleanReleaseJavaRes
> Task :Module:mergeNetCleanReleaseJavaResource

> Task :Module:minifyNetCleanReleaseWithR8 FAILED
AGPBI: {"kind":"error","text":"com.android.tools.r8.ResourceException:

com.android.tools.r8.internal.Sb: I/O exception while reading '/home/andrew/StudioProjects/Project/Module/build/intermediates/merged_java_res/netCleanRelease/base.jar': /home/andrew/StudioProjects/Project/Module/build/intermediates/merged_java_res/netCleanRelease/base.jar","sources":[{"file":"/home/andrew/StudioProjects/Project/Module/build/intermediates/merged_java_res/netCleanRelease/base.jar"}],"tool":"R8"}

I have tried manually launch task mergeNetCleanReleaseJavaResource and base.jar is generated which is the same as in the debug buildVariant and contains nothing special just some metadata from libraries. It is attached below.

Build with debug or stacktrace gives no additional information because stack trace is for r8 which can't find base.jar which is deleted by some previous tasks.

Having tested the latest Gradle (8.4), AGP 8.1, 8.2 and 8.3 (stable and preview on Android Studio stable and preview as well), and Kotlin versions (1.9.10), I can confirm this is still a problem. The real problem is that besides "base.jar" being absent, we can't see the root cause on the Build Output log. I've gone through lal of my .gradle files looking for configuration errors and found none, so we're out of ideas and stuck on 8.0.2 for the foreseeable future.

my...@gmail.com <my...@gmail.com> #22Oct 18, 2023 12:27PM

Yes, I also confirm that the problem exists simply when upgrading to 8.1.0 and AGP came out. Also gradle version 8.0 and more. I tested 5 different projects, in each of them this problem when moving to AGP 8.1.0 and above, nowhere was never used whenTaskAdded.
Will there be any fix for this? Because soon it will be mandatory to support API 34, and this is impossible because of a bug in the build.

no...@gmail.com <no...@gmail.com> #23Oct 21, 2023 09:12PM

Same problem here.

ge...@gmail.com <ge...@gmail.com> #24Oct 29, 2023 07:21PM

FYI, in our case the culprit was a 3rd-party plugin "ru.cian.huawei-publish" whose version we used (1.3.5) was not compatible with AGP 8+. In order to find it, we had to comment out each plugin one by one until gradle assembleRelease was succeeding. Once we upgraded the plugin to an AGP 8+-supporting version (1.4.0), the problem went away.

al...@gmail.com <al...@gmail.com> #25Nov 7, 2023 12:46PM

Same issue after updating to AGP 8.1.2. Tried all from the above - cannot fix so far (Kotlin multiplatform project).

did any one find solution to exact replacement of tasks.whenTaskAdded

da...@orgmob.com <da...@orgmob.com> #27Jan 30, 2024 12:57AM

I ran into this upgrading from gradle 8.0.2 to 8.2.2, to match upgrading from Android Studio Flamingo to Hedgehog.

I made all the changes directed in the Gradle Task Configuration Avoidance page as suggested by #19, but the problem was still there.

Using the approach listed in #24, I found that the culprit for me was this snippet in my :app build.gradle file:

ant.importBuild("${<location-of-ant-project>}/build.xml") { antTargetName ->
    '<prefix-I-used>-' + antTargetName
}

For me this was not currently in use, so I've just commented it out, but it seems to me that perhaps it's a gradle (packaging?) bug with the implementation of AntBuilder org.gradle.api.Project.getAnt() that's shipping with Android Studio?

consider chaning the cryptice error or, at least, don't allow using whentaskAdded

Still seeing this issue when upgrading and I do not use whenTaskAdded anywhere.

#29 and #30 if you are not using any of the "eager apis" outlined here (https://docs.gradle.org/current/userguide/task_configuration_avoidance.html#sec:old_vs_new_configuration_api_overview) and still getting the error, can you please share a reproudcing project or a sample build file for the module where the error is happening?

Please include a list of third party plugins you are depending on too.
