created issue #1

After Updating AGP from 8.0.2 to 8.1.0 I have the following build error

> Task :app:mergeReleaseClasses FAILED

FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

* What went wrong:
Execution failed for task ':app:mergeReleaseClasses'.
> A failure occurred while executing com.android.build.gradle.internal.tasks.MergeClassesTask$MergeClassesWorkAction
> Zip file '/Users/.../build/app/intermediates/module_and_runtime_deps_classes/release/base.jar' already contains entry 'com/google/android/youtube/player/internal/u.class', cannot overwrite

The u.class mentioned in the error comes from a .jar file that I have in the libs dir.

I was looking in which AGP it started to break. When I get back to AGP 8.1.0-alpha10 it started to break with different error, this time related to R8 but mentioning the same base.jar file. I found the following issue

https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/277166577, then I changed some eager task creation to their lazy equivalents (basically replaced tasks.all with tasks.forEach and task with tasks.register) and the issue disappeared. But that didn't solve the original issue with the ZIP file that I mentioned at the top. This starts to appear in AGP 8.1.0-beta01. I still have many places using eager task creation across the build files, not sure if this is related though.

This was broken by 3bca759a5ff08352de831bb1e9b61b1ec2b3362d.
Fix (pending) is I2c2dc7b600603ee430fd0d91b23d52ea8aa29ca9.

Almost 2 months later and this is still broken

Since there is no progression, I wanted to share our quick-fix for the issue.

Still broken and not updated? --package_file argument is not usable in it's current form on 26.1.1 straight from the developer site.

mk...@opera.com <mk...@opera.com> #10Aug 22, 2023 07:45PM

Comfirmed that this seems to still be broken. Can we have an update please?

```
(15:58:11) C02W513SHTD8:files aso$ /opt/android-sdk-macosx/tools/bin/sdkmanager --version
26.1.1

(15:58:17) C02W513SHTD8:files aso$ /opt/android-sdk-macosx/tools/bin/sdkmanager --install --package_file=package_file
Warning: Unknown argument --package_file=package_file

Hi, is there any update to this issue? Thanks.

mk...@opera.com <mk...@opera.com> #12Aug 23, 2023 06:50PM

Hi Google. You claim it's been fixed on master, but we haven't had a new release since the broken version 26.1.1. Can you please release the fix?

am...@google.com <am...@google.com> #13Aug 25, 2023 12:22PM

Yeah, still not fixed --'

mk...@opera.com <mk...@opera.com> #14Aug 25, 2023 03:39PM

Can't believe this still isn't fixed 2 years later for a command line utility that sits on the main dev site.

Any updates on this? The help for this command clearly states this argument is supported.

am...@google.com <am...@google.com> #16Aug 29, 2023 03:36PM

Has anyone re-tried it? We switched back to RUN sdkmanager --package_file=$ANDROID_HOME/packages.txt in our Dockerfile back in March of 2021.

am...@google.com <am...@google.com> #17Aug 29, 2023 03:38PM

For what it's worth, I did a quick test with the latest CLI: 11076708 (https://developer.android.com/studio#downloads) on OSX and tried it with a simple:

./sdkmanager --sdk_root="../sdk" --package_file=deps.txt

Deps.txt:

platform-tools
extras;google;instantapps
build-tools;35.0.0-rc3

So perhaps this is now resolved? I haven't tried it with more packages

mk...@opera.com <mk...@opera.com> #18Aug 29, 2023 04:31PM

Thanks for the potential workaround. Please find the output of the mentioned task with --debug flag.

Does the attached output give you any clue? I see plenty of transformations being done but i don't see any particular task that requests them.

Yes, the problem was with the AsmTransform, I assume you're applying hilt in that app project? I was able to reproduce the issue with an app module that contains dynamic feature deps, minification enabled, local jar dependency and an asm transformation that transforms all dependencies. I've also merged a fix.

Can you try with AGP 8.3.0-dev with the following artifacts repo and see if that fixes the problem?

maven {
    url = uri("https://androidx.dev/studio/builds/10746020/artifacts/artifacts/repository")
}

mk...@opera.com <mk...@opera.com> #21Sep 1, 2023 06:04AM

Yes, we do use hilt indeed.I tried to reproduce it by adding hilt to my toy project when I've seen some hilt related transformation along the executed transforms, it didn't reproduce to me but maybe I missed something.

The given fix works! Thanks for the effort put in finding the root cause. Is there any chance there will be an update to 8.1.2 including it anytime soon?

Great, thanks for confirming. Unfortunately, it's too late for the change to be included in 8.1.2. But it will be available in 8.2.0-beta04 and 8.3.0-alpha03.
